Hybrid　machine　tools　are　suitable　for　machining　structural　components　with　complex　geometries　due　to　their　merits　of　flexible　posture　adjustment　and　quick　dynamic　response.　This　paper　pro-poses　a　novel　hybrid　machine　tool　with　5-axis　machining　capability　by　integrating　a　newly　invented　redundantly　actuated　parallel　mechanism　(RAPM).　For　this　purpose,　a　screw　theory　based　type　synthesis　methodology　is　proposed　to　synthesize　a　RAPM　with　a　topology　of　2PRU-(2PRU)R.　The　synthesized　RAPM　is　conceptually　designed　as　a　spindle　head,　which　is　charac-terized　by　symmetrical　limb　arrangement　and　usage　of　only　PRU-type　kinematic　chains.　The　spindle　head　is　further　integrated　with　a　two-sliding　gantry　to　construct　a　novel　5-axis　hybrid　machine　tool.　The　kinematic　performances　of　position　and　singularity　of　the　proposed　hybrid　machine　tool　are　analyzed.　After　then,　a　laboratory　prototype　of　the　hybrid　machine　tool　is　engineered　and　an　open-architecture　numerical　control　system　is　developed　to　perform　5-axis　machining　tasks.　The　large　orientation　capacity　and　5-axis　machining　capability　of　the　hybrid　machine　tool　are　verified　by　some　motion　experiments　and　machining　tests.
