Add flexibility, reduce tolerances, implement force control, and meet tight requirements thanks to our robotic solutions.

Micro-assembly

Mecademic provides highly precise and flexible robotic solutions for micro-assembly applications, making it easier to automate tasks such as inserting small parts, driving screws, applying stickers, or screwing vial caps.

Our robots have a small footprint and embedded controllers. They can be mounted in different orientations, allowing you to install an automated assembly line in small benchtop settings without needing large factory spaces. The Meca500 robot arm also offers the flexibility of using almost any third-party end-of-arm tooling, making it easier to find the right tooling for your assembly line design.

Our robots have a velocity control mode, which lets you implement force control routines and use force sensing for delicate insertions in your robotic automated assembly application. Additionally, with position repeatability of 5 micrometers and the ability to move their end-effectors with increments of 1 micrometer, our robots meet tight tolerance requirements, making them ideal for delicate small-part assembly line automation operations.

Revolutionize your assembly system design with Mecademic’s compact robots.

Choose the right Mecademic robot for your robotic micro-assembly application

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.
