PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform the positioning in a three-dimensional coordinate system and an angle adjustment around an axis a without an additional constitution group, to minimize exercising mass and to maximize a work region for a structure region. SOLUTION: A supporting structure 12 is movable connected with guide carriages 5 and 6 with each of a first joint shaft 13 and a second joint shaft 14 parallel in the direction of a third coordinate axis Z as a center and is constituted of two connecting links 15 and 16. Both of the connecting links 15 and 16 are connected each other by a third joint shaft 17 parallel to the first and second joint shafts 13 and 14. The supporting structure 12 is provided with a rotation stroke spindle 18 for supporting a tool coaxially with the third joint shaft 17. The rotation stroke spindle 18 is adjustable linearly in the direction of the third coordinate axis Z and is adjustable by a rotational angle around the third joint shaft 17, regardless of the linear adjustment.
