Great video of Mecademic robotics being put to use in a demo at a show last month in Montreal.

This lab automation cell demonstrates how compact a robotic cell can be, with multiple processes being performed in this small footprint consisting of three - one of which is their new robot. Mecademic's robots come with many benefits, a a few of which are listed below:

- Unmatched precision: handling delicate tasks like 96-well plate loading, dispensing, and cover placement.

- Space-saving design: For efficient integration in any lab environment, and low energy usage.

- Ease of use: empowering scientists of all backgrounds to leverage automation effortlessly.

If you're in Dallas, make sure to stop by booth 300 in the Shop Floor section to check out the Spartan Welder from Spartan Robotics! We've integrated Kassow Robots' into our Spartan Welder to give customers an edge when it comes to flexibility and maneuverability. These , featuring a unique 7-axis design, allow the welder to reach around obstacles and maintain torch tip speed when dealing with complex geometries.

This results in consistently precise welds, and faster cycle time since the does not have to perform unnecessary movements to get in position.

These cobots also come with an integrated free drive button, allowing for intuitive, manual guidance of the robot arm, simplifying initial path setup and ensuring precise welding paths.
