Overview

The classic desktop education arm, a 4-axis parallel-link design with swappable pen, laser engraver, 3D-printer, suction and gripper heads. Its ±0.2 mm repeatability is excellent for the price, but 4 axes limit it to top-down tasks. First sold in 2016 and still offered, with the newer Magician E6 and Magician Lite beside it.
