As manufacturers look to automate increasingly complex and heavy-duty tasks, the line between "collaborative" and "industrial" performance is blurring. The new JAKA Zu35—our most powerful cobot yet—is designed to bridge that gap, offering a 35 kg payload and a 2,000 mm reach without sacrificing the flexibility and safety cobots are known for.

Heavy-Duty Performance

Designed for large-scale palletizing, heavy-part machine tending, and high-torque assembly, it expands the performance envelope for collaborative robots.

- Competitive Reach: The Zu35 boasts a 2,000 mm reach, 11% greater than other 30 kg-class cobots and 9% more than industrial robots in the same payload class. This extended reach enables it to handle full-sized pallets and dual-station setups with ease.

- High Payload Capacity: A 35 kg capacity (a 17% increase over typical heavy-duty cobots) means you can use heavier, more versatile end-effectors or process multiple parts in a single cycle.

- Precision at Scale: Despite its size, it maintains a repeatability of ±0.05 mm, ensuring accuracy in every cycle.

Next-Gen Motion Control: Fast, Fluid, Fail-safe

At the heart of JAKA Zu35 is our new-generation motion architecture, designed for 24/7 reliability in high-throughput environments.

- High Throughput for Heavy Cobots: Powered by new-gen motors and optimized algorithms, joint speeds have been significantly improved, with J4–J6 reaching a peak of 300°/s. For palletizing, this supports a rate of 12 cycles per minute to handle high-volume production.

- 1kHz Control Loop & EtherCAT: Real-time synchronization and active vibration suppression ensure smooth, jitter-free motion, protecting both your end-of-arm tooling and delicate workpieces.

- Thermal Management: Our latest motor technology offers a 25% increase in power density while reducing temperature rise by 17%, ensuring long-term reliability during 24/7 operations.

- Fail-Safe Protection: Equipped with advanced electromagnetic disc brakes across all joints, the Zu35 ensures a <1mm drop during emergency stops or power loss, preventing costly equipment damage.

Designed for Real-World Integration

We’ve simplified the "extras" so you can focus on production:

- IP65/67 Durability: Built to thrive in harsh environments, from oily CNC machine shops to dusty packaging facilities.

- Clean Integration: The Smart TIO module supports high-power (24V/5A) and EtherCAT connectivity directly at the tool flange. This allows it to directly drive high-demand end-effectors, eliminating cable snags and signal interference.

- Rapid Component Swaps: Our redesigned modular joints are optimized for easy access, reducing internal component replacement time by 80%. This helps minimize production line downtime, significantly reducing both maintenance costs and operational losses.

JAKA Zu35 & JAKA Zu15

For those seeking similar performance in a more compact form, we offer the new JAKA Zu15. It shares the Zu35’s technology platform, with an 8% longer reach and 25% higher payload than comparable robots.

JAKA Zu35 and Zu15 expand the possibilities for flexible automation. Whether you are in Automotive, Food & Beverage, or Medical Manufacturing, the power to scale is now in your hands.

Both models will be available for your factory floors in the second half of 2026. Pre‑sales inquiries are now open. Contact our team for a technical deep dive or to discuss your specific application needs!
