The Mecademic team experienced two full days of connections, exchanges, insights, and innovation at ATX Montreal 2024 on November 13-14. Presenting our cutting-edge industrial robots in our hometown was very exciting! Let’s look at the event’s highlights.
Cutting-edge technology with multiple applications
Visitors at ATX Montreal had the chance to see firsthand five demos showcasing the world’s most compact and precise industrial robots in their categories: our six-axis Meca500 and our MCS500 SCARA robot. Those demos were:
- A medical device assembly application (needle insertion) with an MCS500 robot mounted upside down and two Meca500s, plus an Asyril flexible feeder and a Teledyne DALSA camera
- A connector assembly application for electronics built by Declix Solutions with one Meca500
- An optical alignment and dispensing application with UV curing containing two Meca500s (one with a special light-absorbing black coat, ideal for optics and photonics operations) and a Nordson EFD dispenser
- A software demo where visitors could interact with our robots using the Mecaportal, our intuitive, user-friendly web interface, and a custom version of the RoboDK — a powerful simulation and offline robot programming tool.
- A fun tribute to Montreal and its conspicuous orange traffic cones with our Meca500—definitely a crowd favorite! Check the video below:
Each demo highlighted unique capabilities, sparking excitement and new ideas for applications across various industries:
- Limited space: Our compact robots with embedded controllers optimize floor space, fitting seamlessly into tight environments without compromising performance or precision.
- High precision: Designed for complex processes, our robots deliver exceptional accuracy to meet stringent quality standards in industries like electronics, optics and photonics, and medical devices.
- Efficiency and flexibility: Easy to integrate and program, our robots feature multi-directional mounting and an intuitive interface for versatile manufacturing tasks.
- Fast shipping: While most manufacturers ship their robots around six months after the order, we can deliver your Mecademic industrial robot in a few weeks.
Excitement among visitors and partners
During the two days of ATX Montreal 2024, the Palais des Congrès was a site of insightful discussions and cheerful connections about robotics and automation. We were thrilled to see the local manufacturing community discussing solutions to their challenges—and also showing strong interest in our products.
Our presence was highly felt throughout the event, from our sought-after demos to partners showcasing our robots in their booths. These are the valued partners who presented our solutions:
- Haply leveraged the Meca500’s precision by teleoperating it with their haptic controller
- Uniro placed one Meca500 in an exciting chess game with a rival robot player
- Robotech integrated our Meca500 and another robot into an innovative automation cell
- Electromate presented the Meca500 in a very unique pick-and-place application
As a testament to the excitement surrounding our solutions, one exhibitor remarked, “Your robots are everywhere!” We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, showcase our innovations, and further strengthen our commitment to advancing microautomation in manufacturing.
Advancing microautomation in our hometown
Our experience at ATX Montreal was exciting and inspiring. Our robots’ transformative power captivated visitors and partners, sparking insightful conversations and fruitful connections. The atmosphere at the Palais des Congrès was filled with innovation, making it the perfect set to reinforce our commitment to empowering businesses with microautomation. We’re excited to build on these connections right at home and continue driving progress in robotics.
