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
