![Centrifuge Loading & Unloading Demo with Meca500 Robot | Mecademic Lab Automation
Watch the ultra-compact Meca500 6-axis industrial robot arm perform automated loading and unloading of a simulated centrifuge inside a sealed glovebox enclosure!
Originally demonstrated at SLAS 2022, this lab automation setup uses a Symcod industrial touchscreen PC to control vial transfers and centrifuge positioning in tight spaces. The Meca500 is fitted with an optional protective sleeve/suit for sterile laboratory environments.
🧪 Key System Features & Setup:
• Robot: Meca500 6-Axis Miniature Industrial Robot with protective sleeve
• HMI Interface: Symcod industrial touchscreen PC for automated sequence control
• Application: Glovebox vial handling & centrifuge sample loading/unloading
• Footprint: Designed for microplate workstations and biosafety cabinets

![Solar Cell Research Automation: Meca500 at University of Montreal | Mecademic Case Study
Discover how Dr. Daniel Chartrand built an automated solar cell characterization platform at the University of Montreal (MIL campus) using the Meca500 6-axis industrial robot arm.
Operating inside a glovebox (inert atmosphere chamber), the Meca500 mounted on a linear track automates tedious handling tasks, boosting throughput by 10x while delivering maximum precision and research reproducibility.
💡 Key Platform Benefits:
• 10x Throughput vs. manual operation inside glovebox gloves
• High precision & reproducible experimental quality
• Frees researchers from tedious manual tasks to focus on innovation
