- The Meca500 is a miniature six-axis robotic arm for industrial and laboratory automation. It is by far the most compact and accurate industrial robot. Indeed, the robot's controller is embedded in its base and the manipulator combines precision machined aluminum links with harmonic drive gearheads and brushless DC motors.
This desktop robotic arm comes with intuitive programming and simulation software. Meca500 can be easily interfaced through an Ethernet connection and used with ROS.
FAQ:
1Q: What is the price of this robot?
1A: The Meca500 is more affordable than any other six-axis industrial robot with sub-0.1-mm precision.
2Q: Is the robot arm available for purchase?
2A: Yes. We started shipping the Meca500 robot arm in July 2016. We've already delivered dozens of units to manufacturers in the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.
3Q: Why does the robot twist when inserting/removing the pins?
3A: Mecademic used to offer a highly compact two-finger parallel gripper that is actuated by the robot's sixth motor. With this gripper, the robot has only five DOFs and is best at manipulating axisymmetric objects. For example, it can insert a pin in any hole within the robot's workspace. However, it cannot control the rotation of the pin about the pin's axis of symmetry. That is why we developed a fully integrated electric gripper, in collaboration with Schunk. With this miniature gripper, you can manipulate any small object in space.
4Q: What is the repeatability of Meca500?
4A: It's better than 5 micrometers ( • Video ).
5Q: Can I have the robot in different colours?
5A: No. In fact, at present, everything but the body base and mechanical interface (flange) is anodized clear. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Having the tool holders slanted is an ingenious way of showing off the accuracy on all axis. Very cool aspect of this demo.
Very cool. I'm faschinated by all the trigonometry involved in the motion calculation.
Wow! That's a great arm. I wish I could get one and create some video tutorials for its programming/testing. Nicely done.
i like this ... awesome
Good job .
A real nicebot. Pretty and graceful in action.
Bet it cost a King's ransom to have one.
Great and innovative robot for countries like Singapore and Malaysia.
Perfect for pouring a beer
this wold be useful for cooking :D
Very cool. How long before you have price and delivery?
would be funny to program it to slap your hand if you try to take one of its pins
nice
this thing is already taking your jobs ppl
can you program this thing to make it a desktop CNC?
I want one :D
how exactly is that safe if pre-programmed buttons are at the base?
good question, I was thinking about the same. But I think the speed would not be as high. But anyway the colision can be a destructive.
I could see the potential in this one. What is the cost in general ? and payload possible ? ( i did not take the time to go through the string of comments, so bear with me !!
What maximum repeatebole accuracy is it? "incredibole" accuracy is 0,03mm repeatebole...
I have no need for this...but damn is that a sexy robot.
Jezz what degrees of rotation those motors turn at 4.5 ?
Mecademic
Why build only the arm ;)
Very nice! Harmonic reducers, Maxxon motors or something else?
***** I'd like to, but HD is a must... motors can be different. BTW I remember your robot with steppers, that was impressive! Different league, of course.
How do you home Meca500 - sensors and index pulse, or absolute encoders?
***** It's a small world. I've been following CoRo for a while... and reading @ibonev from time to time.
Still hope to see the rotary hexa - MicARH.
What is the cost?
Nice it take more Artificial intelligency
what is the payload 1kg ?
+Mecademic I would like to purchase one. How will be be processed? Software training is there a website to learn?

where can I buy one ?
+Mecademic yes I have a business. I'm from India. Plz tell me how to proceed.
