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
