Mecademic launched its micro-SCARA robot in 2023, offering high speed and repeatability in a small and flexible format. The new tabletop SCARA follows the Mecademic tradition of developing high-quality, high-precision, smaller-footprint robots for assembly applications in electronics and healthcare. Mecademic has carved out a niche in the industrial robotics market with two of the tiniest yet fully capable robots on the market today.

This industrial robotic innovation fills a crucial gap in the automation market amidst the growing trend towards miniaturization, and will create a strong demand across various industries where space is a premium. Mecademic claims the MCS500 is the world's most compact and most precise SCARA robot with a reach of 225 mm (8.8 in.) and a maximum payload of 1 kg (2.2 lbs).
With fast cycle times and mounting flexibility, the MCS500 is ideal for a variety of applications. It can be mounted on a table or hung from an overhead mounting platform, depending on the application requirements. This robust robot is unique in that it offers a combination of simplicity, precision, and high performance in a small package.
