It is a service that the company said can enhance its robots&#8217; accuracy &#8220;out of the box.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Montreal, Canada-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therobotreport.com\/tag\/mecademic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company<\/a> claimed that MAC demonstrates its ability to deliver robots that meet critical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecademic.com\/knowledge_base\/precision-vs-accuracy-in-robotics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">precision and accuracy<\/a> requirements and eliminates the need for third-party calibration services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The development of our Absolute Calibration service stems from a commitment to uphold the high quality standards we set for our products and to fully leverage our robots&#8217; capabilities,&#8221; stated Ilian Bonev, co-founder of Mecademic and professor of industrial robotics at \u00c9cole de technologie sup\u00e9rieure (\u00c9TS), a public research university in Montreal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This advancement reflects our dedication to innovation and excellence,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It provides our clients with a solution ready to integrate and operate right out of the box without needing external calibration. This capability is a game-changer for industries requiring utmost precision and accuracy in their operations.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>MAC addresses demanding industrial applications<\/h2>\n<p>Mecademic said it created MAC to service industries where the slightest deviation can affect the outcome, such as optics, photonics, electronics, medical devices, and aerospace and automotive components. The company said the service ensures that its robots meet the rigorous demands of micro-application automation.<\/p>\n<p>The MAC service enhances robots with advanced calibration techniques. These include the use of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to meet or exceed the highest standards of accuracy, according to the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By integrating this service in-house, Mecademic asserted that it offers &#8220;a seamless, efficient solution that enhances performance, mitigates risk, and shortens deployment times across all applications requiring high-precision automation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-568305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therobotreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/RSE24_728x90_RegOpen_Vs1.jpg\" alt=\"SITE AD for the 2024 Robotics Summit registration.\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboticssummit.com\/\">Learn from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and many more.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Mecademic offers a range of robots, tools<\/h2>\n<p>Mecademic offers a range of compact systems for highly precise operations, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecademic.com\/meca500-industrial-robot-arm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MECA500<\/a>: A small and compact six-axis industrial robot arm, the Meca500 works as a plug-and-work automation component, making it easy into integrate with a computer or programmable logic controller (PLC).
