Medical Devices and Surgical Systems

Achieve consistent results, higher yield, and flexibility in medical device manufacturing.

Medical Devices and Surgical Systems

Mecademic’s robotic solutions aid medical device manufacturers in adapting to product design changes, increasing throughput and consistency, and achieving manufacturing flexibility while conforming to regulations. Our precise robot arms help address the ergonomic challenges of the current manual processes, optimize cleanroom infrastructure, and comply with cleanroom standards with lower CapEx and OpEx. We work with component manufacturers, medical device and surgical system companies, and machine builders worldwide to produce a range of medical devices such as cardiac rhythm management devices, coronary stents, endoscopy systems, urology and pelvic health products, hearing aids, various eye lenses and implants, as well as minimally invasive surgery devices across a range of medical specialties, including urology, gynecology, and general surgery.

Why choose the Meca500 robot arm for medical device manufacturing automation?

01

Easily accommodate product design changes without limiting throughput

With their tiny footprint and ability to be mounted in any orientation, our robots can fit into any work cell. They are easy to integrate and interface with other equipment, making it possible to reconfigure automation systems and quickly adapt to changing products, processes, and industry regulations. Our robots make it easy to process different products through the same system, producing a higher mix of products without significant changeover.

02

Reach higher product quality and consistency

In addition to lowering costs, we strive to help you build better products. Mecademic robot arms are the most precise on the market, featuring a repeatability of 5 micrometers. By creating repeatable and accurate processes, Mecademic robots help OEMs adhere to strict product quality standards and ensure consistency. Robotic medical device manufacturing solutions like Mecademic will improve product accuracy, calibration, traceability, and testing. Eliminate the risk of human error in micro-adjustments by replacing manual micromanipulation with robotic automation.

03

Achieve clean room compliance with lower CapEx and OpEx

Cleanroom-compliant automation devices are expensive solutions. Most cleanroom robots and other automation components add to the already costly capital expenses for cleanroom infrastructure. Luckily, Mecademic robots enable OEMs to achieve cleanroom compliance at lower costs. They are clean by design and are suitable for ISO 5 or higher cleanrooms. Our Meca500 is free from particle generators or belts, with speed reducers that are permanently sealed and lubricated.

04

Optimize cleanroom infrastructure with a compact robot footprint

Cleanrooms come with significantly more capital and operating expenses than standard manufacturing sites. With their small footprint, our robots optimize these expensive floor spaces. Most robotic solutions on the market take up a lot of space to accommodate their controllers, teach pendants, cables, and other equipment. Mecademic robots are tiny and feature built-in controllers. They have no teach pendants or messy cables and can be mounted in any orientation. This lets OEMs integrate multiple robots into even the smallest of cells.

Choose the right Mecademic robot for your industrial automation needs

SCARA Robot

If your application contains small parts presented on horizontal surfaces, and if the parts can be inserted without reorienting them about non-vertical axes, then our SCARA robot is the perfect candidate for your robotic automated assembly application.

Meca500 Robot

In some automated assembly scenarios, our Meca500 robot arm is a better fit. Choose the six-axis robot if:

 

  • your application involves working with parts that are presented in different orientations (such as in 3D bin picking) or that need to be reoriented about non-vertical axes;
  • small tilting motions are required during the fitting process, even when parts theoretically remain horizontal;
  • your application does not have a horizontal mounting surface;
  • a tool turret end effector is used.
