Linear delta systems with additional degrees of freedom and related methods
A linear delta system includes a frame, rails secured to the frame, linear actuators, each linear actuator coupled to a respective rail and configured to translate along a longitudinal length of the respective rail, pairs of parallel rods each operably coupled to a respective linear actuator, a platform coupled to the pairs of parallel rods, structure configured to movable couple an object to the platform; and at least one degree of freedom imparting assembly including a profiled rod extending in a direction parallel to the rails and a drive unit configured to rotate the profiled rod, wherein the at least one degree of freedom imparting assembly is configured to impart a degree of freedom to the object.
