The MCS500 was engineered with the same philosophy as our Meca500, the world’s most precise industrial six-axis robot. Mecademic’s SCARA robot boasts an unrivalled repeatability of 5 μm — a size smaller than a red blood cell.
The MCS500 is smaller than any other four-axis robot arm in the market. Featuring an embedded controller, it’s also unbelievably compact, making it the perfect choice for applications with extreme footprint limitations.
With speeds of over 2,200 mm/s, our SCARA robot’s high-performance design ensures faster cycle time and maximum throughput.
* Cycle time based on round-trip arch motion (100 mm horizontal, 25 mm vertical) with rated payload.
Designed for rapid prototyping and flexible integration*, this module combines vacuum and I/O control for streamlined setup and experimentation.
An ideal solution for lab environments and research applications, this compact module generates vacuum for light-duty pick-and-place tasks.
This switch detects the part’s holding status, ensuring more reliability in your operations.
