About

About CMZ12

CMZ12 is a collaborative robot that combines a 12-kilogram payload with a 1,214-millimetre reach and stated repeatability of +/-0.025 millimetres. It moves at up to 1,000 millimetres per second in collaborative mode and 3,000 millimetres per second when operating outside collaborative speed limits.

The hollow wrist routes cables and hoses internally, reducing interference around grippers and process tools. Certified safety functions, collision detection and an IP67 body support machine tending, palletising, dispensing and heavier handling tasks in cells that alternate between collaborative and industrial operation.

Capabilities

Source-backed capabilities

  • Workflows: Material handling, machine tending, palletizing, dispensing, assembly and higher-payload collaborative automation.
  • Operating environments: Manufacturing cells, machine-tending areas, palletizing stations and industrial collaborative workspaces.
  • Target markets: Factories and system integrators needing a cobot that can cover heavier work than compact collaborative arms.
  • Deployment model: Commercial cobot model in Nachi's CMZ series with collaborative and higher-speed operating modes.
  • Industrial dispensing

    Claimed - NACHI lists machine tending, material handling, palletizing and dispensing as CMZ12 applications.
