User Manual
1 Introduction
There are two manuals that come with the Meca500 (R3): this one and the
. This manual will guide you through the steps required for setting up your Meca500
and for using it in a safe manner. You must read this user manual thoroughly during the
unpacking and rst use of your Meca500.
The Meca500 is a six-axis industrial robot arm that is relatively easy to use, robust and
lightweight. The robot is, however, a precision device with rapidly moving parts. This
robot should therefore be used only by technical personnel who have read and understood
every part of this user manual, in order to avoid damages to the robot, its end-eector, the
workpiece and adjacent equipment, and, most importantly, in order to avoid injuries.
