Articulated robot NEX7

6-axisfor assemblyhandling

Overview
With a payload of 7 kg and a reach of 927 mm, the compact NEX7 manipulator is the right choice for a wide range of adaptive handling and assembly tasks in confined workspaces. As part of the MOTOMAN NEXT platform, it is suitable for automation in which robots use sensors (e.g., cameras, force sensors) to detect, understand, evaluate, and autonomously respond to new situations and workpiece variants.

MOTOMAN NEXT integrates classic robot control with an NVIDIA-based control module (ACU), offering all the possibilities of the classic signal-based automation world (OT) and the data-based IT world on one single platform. Modern software engineering tools (by Yaskawa, NVIDIA, ROS 2 community), an open LINUX Docker environment, and services provided by Yaskawa give programmers complete freedom to efficiently and successfully deploy AI robotics applications in the field.

The NEX7 manipulator features newly designed high-inertia robot servo drives from Yaskawa’s Sigma-X generation, which combine high drive dynamics with outstanding absolute accuracy – for exact correspondence between the real and virtually planned worlds including automatic path planning or precise sensor guidance.

Integrated media and Ethernet cables (Cat6) in the robot arm supply intelligent plug-and-play actuators or cameras on the robot flange, for example, without the need of external media packages along the robot arm.
