Automating Micro-Optics Alignment with the Meca500

A practical guide to using compact robotics for high-precision optics and photonics manufacturing.

Automating micro-optics alignment has traditionally required expensive multi-axis positioners with limited flexibility. That makes full automation hard to justify for low-volume or evolving products. This guide, developed in collaboration with Mecademic and XVP Photonics, shows how the Meca500 six-axis robot delivers the precision and versatility needed to align and assemble optical components reliably—without overbuilding your motion system.
