An overview is given of different techniques of dose delivery applied in currently operating and planned particle therapy systems. Their advantages and disadvantages will be compared and consequences of the methods for the rest of the instrumentation will be discussed. The interrelationship between beam delivery at the patient and the accelerator system is shown by means of several concrete examples. Apart from a description of several subsystems in a particle therapy facility, design rules for optimizing the reliability of an accelerator and beam delivery system will be discussed, as well as some remarks concerning how to deal with future developments.
