IIN Integrates Mecademic’s Supercompact SCARA Robot in Its New White-Label Robot Cell

With its unrivaled compactness and precision, Mecademic’s MCS500 will be a central component of this new solution

International Innovation Network Oy (IIN), a Finland-based automation solutions company, have partnered with Mecademic, an industrial robot arm manufacturer based in Montreal (Canada), to integrate the MCS500 — what they claim in the world’s most compact, most precise SCARA robot — as a central component in their soon-to-be-released white-label desktop robot cell.

According to IIN’s CEO Teijo Fabritius, this new robot cell will be a cost-efficient standard automation solution ideal for operations requiring little or no customization. This solution will be perfect for applications such as quick assembly, glue dispensing, functional testing, and various types of pick-and-place for industries like medical and diagnostic device manufacturing, consumer electronics, and industrial electronics.

With its unrivaled compactness and precision, Mecademic’s MCS500 will be a central component of this new solution. Designed for fast cycle times and mounting flexibility, the MCS500 delivers maximum efficiency at much lower overall costs than the competition.

“We have been following Mecademic for a long time. When we got the news they had launched a SCARA robot, we knew we had the right component for our new solution,” says Fabritius.

“We at Mecademic are very happy to partner with IIN. Our MCS500 will deliver precision and high performance in the small form factor IIN expects. Reducing the size of machines is a key global trend that we are seeing in the manufacturing machine building industry,” says Mecademic’s CCO & Executive VP Philippe Beaulieu.

More details on IIN’s new automation solution, such as technical specifications and launch date, will be available soon.
