The mta MRC500 dispensing robotic cell is a free-standing machine cell. Our design engineers purposes-built the MRC500 for dispensing applications then standardized the design. We built our own platform so we would not need to compromise functionality based on the limitations of third-party equipment. Standardizing the design offers three primary advantages: it is well-proven, available faster and costs less than-off custom designs. Although the design is standard, it is highly flexible.

We designed the mechanical structure to work with a wide range of process equipment, material handling and guarding systems. In its basic configuration, the MRC500 is a free-standing, semi-automated machine. At the other extreme, we can outfit it with SMEMA conveyors, rotary tables and many other systems. Likewise, our software engineers included flexible modules in our MotionEditor software to quickly integrate a wide range of standard and special options.

We can equip the MRC500 with any of our dispensing heads: CFD continuous flow 1K dispenser, CBD continuous flow 2K dispenser, PDos X1 micro-dispensing jet valve, NVD volumetric 1K dispenser, NBD volumetric 2K dispenser, mini-NVD volumetric 1K dispenser, mini-NBD volumetric 2K dispenser and CD 1K cartridge dispenser. As properly designed heads are fairly heavy, the MRC500 is equipped with large DC stepper motors to provide sufficient strength to actuate the head quickly. The X, Y, and Z axis use robust ball-screw actuators for precise actuation. Repeatability of 20 microns assures the dispensing process is accurate and delivers consistent quality.

The main features of our MRC500 platform include: welded frame construction, 3-axis Cartesian robot with optional rotary axis at the head, 500x500mm working area, industrial PC controller with Embedded Windows® operating system and intuitive menu-driven mta MotionEditor software.

5 reasons to choose the mta MRC500 dispensing robotic cell

1. You need a larger work area (500x500mm).
2. Your process is semi-automated, but you need a free-standing station.
3. The production is inline and requires conveyors.
4. Your process is offline, but you need another form of material handling (rotary table, collaborative robot, etc.).
5. The enclosure is large enough to support additional process such as automatic optical inspection.
