The document aims as giving the designer a tool to design planar mechanisms for generating partially synchronized motion. Mechanisms for generating partially synchronized motion or synchromechanisms can partly or complety replace freely programmable robots as low-cost alternative in the asssembling and handling technique. Additionally characteristic paprameter to assess such mechanisms shall be defined, and a collection of examples has been prepared which enables the choice of mechanisms usable for a certain purpose.
