Media Release An Industrial Robotic Arm small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A Canadian company has developed a small robotic arm for industrial applications using brushless pancake motors, zero-backlash gearheads and encoders from maxon. Introducing the Meca500: An Industrial Robotic Arm that is half the size of a regular industrial robot. Made by Mecademic in Canada and featuring brushless flat motors from maxon, the Arm has six degrees of freedom, weighs five kilos and spans a base around the size of your palm. With a repeatability of 0.005 millimeters, that is, 20 times less thicker than an A4 piece of paper, the Mecas500 has a load capacity of 500 grams. Maxon’s brushless pancake motors were selected for this application. The EC45 flat brushless motors are renowned for their compact design, long lifespan, top quality and high torque. In the Meca500, the DC motors are combined with zero-backlash gearheads and high-resolution encoders for precise movements. The controller is integrated into the motor and gearhead combination, saving even more space and simpli- fying the drive operation. If you would like application assistance or for more information please contact maxon motor Australia tel. +61 2 9457 7477.

An Industrial Robotic Arm small enough to fit in the palm of yourhand.A Canadian company has developed a small robotic arm for industrial applications using brush-less pancake motors, zero-backlash gearheads and encoders from maxon.

Introducing the Meca500: An Industrial Robotic Arm that is half the size of a regular industrial robot. Madeby Mecademic in Canada and featuring brushless flat motors from maxon, the Arm has six degrees offreedom, weighs five kilos and spans a base around the size of your palm. With a repeatability of 0.005millimeters, that is, 20 times less thicker than an A4 piece of paper, the Mecas500 has a load capacity of500 grams.

Maxon’s brushless pancake motors were selected for this application. The EC45 flat brushless motors arerenowned for their compact design, long lifespan, top quality and high torque. In the Meca500, the DC mo-tors are combined with zero-backlash gearheads and high-resolution encoders for precise movements.The controller is integrated into the motor and gearhead combination, saving even more space and simpli-fying the drive operation.
