MZ04
Nachi RoboticsThe Nachi MZ04 is a 6-axis, ultra-high-speed compact industrial robot arm with a 4 kg payload and 541 mm reach, designed for material handling, assembly, packaging, inspection, and similar tasks. It weighs approximately 25–26 kg, has an A5-paper-sized footprint, features through-arm/hollow-wrist cabling, IP67 protection (on the MZ04D variant; IP40 on the base model), ±0.02 mm repeatability, and is compatible with the Compact-FD controller. Several extracted facts are clearly about unrelated systems (a GEPRC FPV drone, humanoid robot trajectory planning, IoT ensemble computing, and a CMZ12 cobot) and have been excluded from the MZ04 reconciliation. As a fixed industrial robot arm, the MZ04 executes programmed tasks autonomously once deployed, with no human performing or driving the task itself.

Evidence-graded claims from the Nachi Robotics deep report
Nachi's CMZ12 collaborative robot delivers ±0.025 mm repeatability, 12 kg payload, 1,214 mm reach, and operates at 1,000 mm/sec (collaborative mode) / 3,000 mm/sec (non-collaborative mode) with IP67 rating and full ISO safety compliance.
Independent trade publication Robotics & Automation News [10] reported these specific technical specifications at the CMZ12 launch (August 2024), constituting third-party corroboration; the 2,400 units/year sales target remains unverified by any independent source.

Nachi has installed 35,000+ robots in North America, establishing it as a major industrial robotics supplier in the region.
The 35,000+ figure comes from Automate.org [9], a commerce/directory source likely drawing on Nachi marketing materials, while Nachi's own LinkedIn [7] cites only 25,000+; neither figure is independently audited, and the discrepancy of up to 10,000 units is unresolved.
from Nachi Robotics deep report →Nachi robots have demonstrated advanced autonomous manipulation capabilities — including ~100% success-rate chopstick grasping of swinging objects (CherryBot) and in-air rope knotting via deep learning — using Nachi hardware.
Peer-reviewed arXiv papers [22][25] from CMU/UW confirm Nachi hardware was used in these academic research demonstrations, but these are lab proofs-of-concept — not production deployments — and the capabilities have not been independently validated in any commercial or industrial setting.
from Nachi Robotics deep report →Nachi-Fujikoshi's parent company is executing a credible strategic pivot to make robotics 30–35% of revenue by 2030, up from ~13% currently, backed by a new president drawn from the Robot Division.
The revenue target and leadership appointment are reported by TipRanks [11] and a Japanese financial note [13], both of which relay company announcements rather than providing independent analyst verification of the target's achievability or the current 13% baseline.
from Nachi Robotics deep report →Nachi's industrial robot simulation tools reliably predict real-world cycle times on a per-joint basis, making advertised performance data trustworthy for production planning.
A Reddit practitioner thread [32] confirms simulation tools are generally reliable for robot motion cycle times, but notes real-world deviations arise from process dwells and slow approach moves — this is a community observation, not a controlled independent benchmark, and is not Nachi-specific.
from Nachi Robotics deep report →Nachi's CMZ series collaborative robots are safety-certified for genuine human-robot co-working under ISO 13849-1, ISO 10218-1, and ISO TS 15066, enabling deployment without safety fencing.
The ISO compliance specifications are reported by Robotics & Automation News [10] at product launch, but the article relays Nachi's own claims about certification; no independent certification body confirmation or third-party safety audit of deployed CMZ units is cited in the dossier.
from Nachi Robotics deep report →
Nachi's robot payload range extends up to 1,700 kg, covering the full spectrum from precision light-duty to ultra-heavy industrial applications.
The 1,700 kg upper bound appears only on Nachi's LinkedIn page [7] (a vendor-controlled source), while the independent commerce directory Automate.org [9] caps the range at 1,000 kg; the discrepancy is unresolved and the higher figure lacks any independent corroboration.
