MCS500 SCARA Robot

BENEFITS

  • Speeds of up to 3,000 mm/s, high-performance design ensures faster cycle time and maximum throughput.
  • With a built-in controller and more compact than any four-axis industrial robot on the market.
  • Engineered with the same philosophy as our Meca500, the world’s most precise industrial robot, offers high precision at even faster speeds.
  • Plug‑and‑work automation component that is very easy to integrate with any computer or PLC, and any programming language.
  • Unlike most competitive models, Mecademic’s SCARA robot can be mounted on a table top or upside down, for use in a wide variety of settings.
  • All Mecademic small industrial robot arms come with lifetime firmware updates and do not require any software licenses.
  • Does not require any battery changes over its entire lifetime due to its use of absolute encoders.
  • Small size and embedded controller ensures a tiny overall footprint and reduces space per unit costs.
  • Integrating our SCARA robot is quick and easy, which cuts the costs of installation and training.

CONTROLLER

  • The SCARA robot’s controller is embedded in its palm-sized base. There is no bulky controller cabinet, teach pendant, or any messy cables. The robot’s tiny footprint makes it a great choice for small spaces.

PRECISION

  • This robot is equipped with the market’s best zero-backlash speed reducers and high-resolution encoders. Its structural components are precision machined, precision assembled, and inspected at Mecademic.

OPERATION

  • Simply connect the robot to any computer or PLC via the Ethernet cable provided, and use a programming language of your choice (Java, C#, Python, etc.).
  • Users may communicate with the robot via EtherCAT, ensuring guaranteed response times. Alternatively, users may send Mecademic’s proprietary commands to the robot arm (as parsed strings) over TCP/IP. The commands are typical robot instructions such as MoveLin(x,y,z,α,β,γ). Similarly, the robot’s controller sends back strings with various types of feedback.
  • The robot’s controller features an intuitive web interface for operation. It can be accessed via a web browser.

POWER SUPPLY AND SAFETY

  • The SCARA robot comes with an external power supply that has an embedded safety module with an E-Stop and safety I/O interface.
  • Supply voltage: 90-250 VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase 7 A
  • Safety module: Cat. 3 / PL d
