The MCS500 was engineered with the same philosophy as our Meca500, the world’s most precise industrial six-axis robot. Mecademic’s SCARA robot boasts an unrivalled repeatability of 5 μm — a size smaller than a red blood cell.
• 5 µm repeatability for ultra-precise motion
• Fast cycle time: 0.42 s with 500 g payload
• Compact, lightweight 4.3 kg design
• Embedded controller with no external control box
• Flexible mounting: tabletop or inverted
• Optional vacuum and I/O module for part handling
• Supports EtherCAT, Profinet, TCP/IP, and more
• Ideal for micro-assembly, optics, and lab automation
When you begin a project with the Mecademic MCS500 SCARA, the engineering team at In-Position Technologies starts by evaluating your specific application requirements. While Mecademic offers a single SCARA model, we focus on how to configure and apply it for optimal performance in your environment. Our engineers conduct all necessary calculations to ensure the MCS500 meets your precision, payload, and integration needs—without adding unnecessary cost.
We also help you choose the right setup from the available configuration options to streamline deployment and maximize ROI.
Key factors we review include:
• Payload requirements and cycle time expectations
• Z-axis stroke for vertical clearance
• Tool flange compatibility
• Shaft and mounting orientation options
• Cable routing and length based on cell layout
• Optional vacuum and I/O module integration
• Network and controller setup (EtherCAT, TCP/IP, Profinet, etc.)
When you order the MCS500 SCARA as part of a full automation system, we go further. Our engineers:
• Confirm every required accessory is included for a complete solution
• Validate that all components work seamlessly as an integrated system
• Ensure the robot and peripherals will perform according to your project specs
