Nachi Robotics CZ10 six-axis collaborative robot

Japanese company Nachi has released its CZ10 six-axis collaborative robot. Featuring power- and force-limiting technology, the CZ10 can work safely with, or in close proximity to, humans, as it has a safety mechanism to stop instantaneously should it come in contact with an operator. Operator pinch points are eliminated by having minimum clearance of 25 mm or more between arms and joints. The CZ 10 is certified to ISO 10218-1 and TS 15066 standards.

In addition to standard robot programming through the teach pendant, the user can hand-guide the CZ10 when teaching it new program paths. A digital I/O connector for applications and a built-in air connection are available at the wrist. Enhanced safety certified functions are achieved with a built-in robot monitoring unit. CZ10 units have a payload capacity of 10 kg and horizontal reach of 1300 mm.
