NHC-30
The Yaskawa MOTOMAN NHC-30 is a high-payload collaborative robot from the NHC-Series, part of the MOTOMAN NEXT platform for AI-driven adaptive automation. With a 30 kg payload and 1700 mm reach, it excels in heavy-duty collaborative tasks like palletizing, handling, and assembly. Integrated torque sensors in each of its 6 axes enable safe human-robot interaction via Power and Force Limiting, allowing operation without fencing. Built-in RGB-D bodycam supports vision-based applications, monitoring workspaces and reacting to changes. NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX-powered ACU runs Linux with Docker, ROS2 bridge, HALCON library for AI image processing, and collision-free path planning. Ideal for food, pharma, packaging due to food-grade grease and IP67 rating. User-friendly Smart Pendant simplifies programming; robust aluminum construction ensures durability in harsh environments.

NHC-30 Redefines Heavy-Duty Collaboration with NVIDIA-Powered Adaptive Intelligence
Yaskawa's NHC-30 collaborative robot represents a fundamental shift in how manufacturers approach heavy-payload automation. Built on the MOTOMAN NEXT platform, this 30-kilogram payload cobot integrates NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX processing to enable adaptive, AI-driven decision-making in unstructured warehouse and factory environments. Unlike traditional collaborative robots constrained by rigid programming, the NHC-30 perceives its workspace dynamically, detects obstacles in real-time, and adjusts task execution autonomously—transforming palletizing, material handling, and assembly operations into self-optimizing workflows.
