Watch this joint technical webinar recorded with Swiss automation integration partner GRITEC AG and Mecademic Robotics on best practices for micro-automation and micro-assembly.
Discover how Fabian Caduff (Mechanical Engineer, GRITEC) and Louis Lapierre (Mecademic) demonstrate achieving 5-micron repeatability and sub-10-micron assembly precision in microelectronics, laser distance meter manufacturing, and tight-space component placement.
⚙️ Key Topics & Case Study Highlights:
• Accuracy vs. Repeatability: Understanding 5-micron repeatability in serial 6-axis robotics
• Cleanroom & Footprint: Beltless harmonic drive joint design for ISO 4 cleanrooms
• GRITEC Case Study: 3x Meca500 cell for PCB alignment, soldering, and shield gluing
• Closed-Loop Control: Vision-guided positioning and eliminating mechanical backlash
• PLC & Fieldbus Integration: Programming via EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, and Python API
📌 Webinar Chapters:
