The only assembly robot of GROB-Werke GMBH & CO. KG based on the parallel kinematic technology is a Highly Dynamic Handling System, called TRIAGLIDE 5g. The system is basically a modification of the popular DELTA robot design. The difference is that actuators are Linear Motion Guides that are coplanar and parallel to each other. Thus, the TRIAGLIDE 5g is a 3-DOF spatial parallel manipulator for translations only. Due to the small masses moved, extremely high rates of travels and accelerations can be achieved:

 Axis travels in X, Y, Z: 2,000, 500, 320 mm;
 Max. rates of travel in X, Y, Z: 6 m/s each;
 Max. accelerations in X, Y, Z: 50 m/s2 each.
