Introducing the smallest and most accurate six-axis robot arm

Published on May 25, 2015


Meca500 is our first six-axis robot with a payload of 500 g. It is by far the most compact and accurate robot arm. This miniature collaborative robot is perfect for research and education, but it can also be used in various industrial applications where size matters.

Meca500's controller is embedded in its base. This desktop robot can be easily interfaced through an Ethernet connection and used with ROS. It can even be controlled from Simulink via the EtherCAT protocol.

Meca500: the world's most compact and precise six-axis robot arm

Published on Apr 22, 2016


The new Meca500 is the world's smallest and most accurate industrial robot arm. Not only is the Meca500 small, it is also extremely compact, with its controller embedded in its base. The Meca500 fits where no other robot arm can go.

Both the Meca500 and the gripper (WSG 25, from Weiss Robotics) are controlled through Ethernet by a PC (not shown).

The world's smallest six-axis industrial robot arm

Published on Jun 12, 2018


Meet the new generation of the Meca500; still the smallest, lightest, most compact and most precise six-axis industrial robot arm available on the market. The new Meca500 is now faster, with unlimited rotation on end joint, and with absolute encoders. Our robotic arm also supports EtherCAT and comes with a safety module with integrated power supply.

The Meca500 is so small, it can fit in the palm of your hand. It weighs only 4.5 kg but can manipulate loads of up to 500 g, with an amazing 5 micrometer repeatability.
