Mecademic Industrial Robotics - Micro Automation in Action Powered by Integrators


Listen Later

I had the pleasure of recording an episode with Stan Gleizer, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Integrators and OEMs. He works for Mecademic Industrial Robotics and is based in Montreal.

With a background in mechatronics and over a decade of experience in aerospace and automotive robotics, Stan has spent his career working on high-precision systems involving vision, force feedback, and micron-level motion. That path led him to Mecademic, a Montreal-based robot manufacturer purpose-built for microautomation.

Together, they explore how Mecademic is rethinking industrial robotics for applications where space, precision, and system simplicity matter more than brute force. From electronics and medical devices to optics and photonics, Mecademic robots are enabling automation in environments traditional robots were never designed to handle.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why Mecademic robots are designed specifically for microautomation
  • What makes ultra-compact six-axis robots viable in space-constrained systems
  • How embedded controllers and no external teach pendants simplify cell architecture
  • The difference between precision, repeatability, resolution, and accuracy, and why it matters
  • How some manufacturers treat robots as swap-and-go spare parts to minimize downtime
  • Where Mecademic robots overlap with, and go beyond, hexapods in high-precision applications
  • How system integrators use Mecademic to access medical, photonics, and electronics markets
  • What the Mecademic Approved Integrator Program offers and who it’s built for
  • Stan also shares insights on Mecademic’s North American manufacturing, global expansion, and what makes a strong integrator partnership in high-precision automation.

    I would like to mention A3: the Association for Advancing Automation. they are the leading automation trade association for robotics, vision and imaging, motion control and motors and the industrial artificial intelligence technologies.  Visit Automate dot org to learn more.
