Patent attributes
A delta robot includes a base plate and at least three drives fastened thereon, which are connected to an arm, with at least one drive connected at an opposite end relative to the arm to two rods. The rods run parallel and are connected at one end by an additional ball joint to a movable parallel plate. The two ball joints are oriented mirror-symmetrically to each other and each hollow ball segment is pressed onto a ball segment head by tensioning a permanently elastic element between two rods that are parallel to each other. The center point of a ball segment head is displaced relative to the longitudinal support axis of the rod with the direction of displacement pointing away from the hollow ball segment with the displacement always being smaller than the radius of the spherical segment head.
