Sub-micron level precision automation is heating up, and Meca500 is helping with active alignment

The Mecademic Meca500 micro 6-axis robotic arm features product characteristics such as high repeatability precision of less than 5 microns and a resolution (displacement increment) of 1 micron. It is an ideal and powerful compromise solution for active optical calibration in medium-volume, high-mix optical component production. Flexible automation: a single robotic arm can simultaneously handle primary processes such as alignment and secondary processes such as material handling. Our unique solution provides capabilities that other alternatives do not offer.

Comprehensive capabilities: Resolution: 0.4 microns (Linear) / 5 μRad (Angular), Stability: 0.9 microns (Linear) / 15 μRad (Angular), Repeatability: 5.7 microns (Linear) / 50 μRad (Angular)
