The present invention concerns an industrial robot according to the delta
concept with an arm system (2) intended for rotation in space that
comprises a base section (4), a movable plate (6), several jointed struts
(8) and a telescopic shaft (10, 40) arranged between the base section and
the movable plate, in which opposite ends (12, 14) of the struts and the
telescopic shaft are connected to the base section and to the movable
plate, respectively, and in which the telescopic shaft (10, 40) comprises
a first telescopic arm (16, 46) and a second telescopic arm (18, 48) that
are arranged longitudinally displaceable relative to each other, that each
telescopic arm (16, 18; 46, 48) comprises at least two rods (20, 22; 50,
52) that are attached to holders (24-27; 54-57) at their respective end
sections. The present invention also includes a method and an application.
