NEX Series
The NEX Series from Yaskawa, part of the MOTOMAN NEXT platform, comprises AI-powered 6-axis industrial robots with payloads from 4kg to 35kg, designed for adaptive handling and assembly. Featuring high-inertia servo drives for superior motion performance and absolute accuracy, they integrate sensors like cameras and force sensors to detect, evaluate, and respond autonomously to new situations and workpiece variants. The slim, IP67-protected design minimizes installation space while supporting sensor fusion, NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX-Edge for AI processing, Linux/Docker environments, ROS2 bridges, and YNX Robot Simulator for digital twins. Ideal for intelligent automation bridging OT and IT, enabling collision-free path planning, force sensing, and 2D/3D image processing in dynamic production lines.
