Pretty nice design! All you needed to do was add a whole bunch of Revolve Joints and then add a component to control the motion. I used a fixed bar with a Pin-Slot Joint but you may want to do something different. Model is attached.

You need to attach your model as the link you gave is not working at this time. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Yes, but you did not read the rest of my message, you are still addressing your Forum post to yourself. Use the "Reply" icon not the "Quick Reply" icon.

Your main problem is your Jaw, which may seem like multiple components, is only one! How do you think it could possible move as you desire. You copied it from somewhere, outside this assembly, so it has to be rebuilt.

I did a very quick and dirty job of the modeling, of what I see, as needed to keep the jaws parallel. Please note there are overlaps, and spaces in the jaw joints and I left a lot of pins out. All I was trying to do was to present my concept design for you desired motion. If this suits, I will leave it up to you to work out the final modeling. By the way, your base slot and slider joint is not long enough to allow it to close completely. Model is attached.
