The hardware
MecLab® is delivered in practical, stackable Systainers, which function as storage units as well as transport packaging.
MecLab® is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
MecLab® is sturdy and fully capable of withstanding the rigors of a school environment.
The individual stations have different functions:
- The Stacking Magazine station contains a workpiece storage container and a feed separator.
- The Conveyor station can transport and sort workpieces.
- The Handling station can grip the workpieces and deposit them at defined points.

Control with FluidSIM® software
The stations are controlled with FluidSIM® software and the EasyPort interface.
FluidSIM® is the application for creating and simulating pneumatic and electrical circuits and programmable logic controllers. With its universal PC interface, FluidSIM® can control the MecLab® stations directly. As a result, students can follow a continuous functional chain from the circuit diagram to simulation to control. The students test their solution in the simulation before testing it at the real station. FluidSIM® also offers information about all the components at the click of the mouse as well as a number of informative animations.
3x 8 licenses are supplied which can be used flexibly as a network license, a single-user license or a loaner license with an adjustable expiry date.
