Meca500 – The World’s Most Precise Six-Axis Robot

Ultra-Compact. Exceptionally Accurate. Effortlessly Integrable.

Overview

The Meca500 is by far the smallest and most compact six-axis industrial robot arm — and also the most precise.
Unlike most industrial robots, which are complex stand-alone systems, the Meca500 is a plug-and-work automation component.
It operates as a slave device and integrates easily with any computer or PLC, with no training courses, software installations, or add-ons required.

Key Features

Highly Precise

Achieve exceptional accuracy with 0.005 mm position repeatability — ideal for demanding microautomation tasks.

Ultra Compact

Maximize space efficiency with a controller embedded into the robot base, eliminating the need for external units.

Easy to Integrate

Deploy seamlessly into existing systems thanks to hardware- and software-agnostic design.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Minimize operational and maintenance costs while maximizing performance and long-term value.

Energy Efficient

Operate at less than 100 W power consumption, promoting sustainable automation.

Robust Build

Crafted from precision-machined aluminum for durability and stability in industrial environments.

Minimum Tolerance. Maximum Precision.

At Mecademic, we designed the Meca500 to redefine accuracy in automation. Equipped with high-resolution encoders and
zero-backlash precision gearboxes, the Meca500 delivers unmatched consistency and control.

Repeatability: 5 µm — smaller than the width of a red blood cell.

Ultra-Compact. Minimize Footprint.

The Meca500 is the smallest six-axis industrial robot on the market. With an embedded controller, it’s ideal for applications
requiring extreme space efficiency.

Calibrated Meca500: Maximum Accuracy

With a calibrated Meca500, you’ll leverage its unique accuracy to the fullest. Reduce risk, speed up deployment, and
achieve top-tier results in high-accuracy applications, camera-based systems, and complex alignments.
