Mecademic Meca500 R4 Overview
The Mecademic Meca500 R4 is an ultra-compact six-axis industrial robot arm with a rated payload of 0.5 kg and a reach of 330 mm at the flange. Position repeatability is 0.005 mm, which suits it to micro-assembly, testing and precision handling. The arm weighs 4.6 kg, draws less than 100 W and can be mounted at any angle. Its controller is embedded in the base, so the robot is driven directly from a PC or PLC over TCP/IP, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP or PROFINET.
