Meca500
Meca500
Mecademic’s Meca500 is by far the smallest and most compact six-axis industrial robot arm. It is also the most precise one. Unlike most other industrial robots which are usually complex stand-alone systems, the Meca500 is a plug-and-work automation component. The Meca500 robot is a slave component rather than a master, which makes it very easy to integrate via any computer or PLC.
The Meca500 doesn’t require any training courses, software installations, or additional options to purchase. It’s that simple!
