Comau NJ-220

The Comau NJ-220 is a heavy-payload six-axis industrial arm aimed at material handling, machine tending, and palletizing across automotive and heavy industrial lines. It carries a rated payload of 220 kg on a reach of 2701 mm, so it's set up for moving large parts rather than fine detail work. Comau frames it around handling and press tending duty.

At roughly 1220 kg, this is a big machine that wants a solid foundation beneath it. Its repeatability is quoted at 0.08 mm, and Comau positions the rigid structure around holding that accuracy while the arm is loaded. That points it at repetitive heavy transfers where the pose has to land the same way each pick.

You can mount the NJ-220 on the floor or overhead from the ceiling, which opens up layout options around presses and fixtures. It runs on the C5G controller and carries an IP65 / IP67 rating. The record is candid about the trade-offs: a large footprint and real foundation needs come with an arm this size.

Its long work envelope is what earns the large-part transfer role the strengths point to, reaching between stations that sit well apart. On heavy industrial lines that means loading big parts into a press or moving assemblies from one cell to the next. The 220 kg rating and 2701 mm reach put it firmly in heavy handling territory.

Choose the NJ-220 when the job is genuinely heavy and the parts are large, and you have the floor space and foundation to back it. It's overkill if your payloads sit in mid-range territory, where the record itself notes the higher capital cost against smaller arms. For heavy press and handling work on an automotive line, though, it's squarely in its element.
