YASKAWA Electric Corporation has announced the launch of the MOTOMAN-GP10, a new addition to the MOTOMAN GP series of compact, versatile robots, featuring a payload capacity of 10 kg and a maximum reach of 1,101 mm. The MOTOMAN GP series has expanded its operating range and payload capacity while maintaining a compact and lightweight design.
Main Features
1. Space saving, portability, and long reach
This model achieves a reach of 1101 mm while maintaining the same footprint size (GP 8: payload capacity 8 kg / maximum reach 727 mm, GP7: payload capacity 7 kg / maximum reach 927 mm), and ensures a more transportable and slim arm structure compared to MOTOMAN-GP7/8.
In addition, the full-cover structure with built-in motors and cables further reduces interference with peripheral equipment. Its compact size allows for installation in existing facilities and mass production facilities with limited space, as well as mounting on AGVs/AMRs.
2. High-precision operation
Small parts assembly and inter-process transport sometimes require delicate workpiece holding and accurate loading and unloading. This model achieves high-precision operation by utilizing the following features to handle customer’s products reliably and safely.
- Adoption of optimal motors as well as reduction gears
- Achievement of high rigidity and weight reduction of the arm, which is essential for high-precision operation, through topology analysis methods*
- Adoption of an absolute accuracy correction functionality as standard, which has not been available for small models, thereby improving trajectory accuracy
*Topology analysis method: A method for optimizing the shape of structures by extracting only the structurally necessary parts and eliminating unnecessary parts, thereby optimizing material placement and deriving the optimal shape with less material while maintaining strength.
3. Full cover type for high environmental resistance
The MOTOMAN-GP10 has IP67 protection rating for dust and water resistance throughout the entire manipulator, enabling it to flexibly adapt to a variety of production environments. For example, it frees workers from a dangerous environment where they are continuously exposed to debris and fluid during machine tending, quality testing, deburring, and cleaning of machined parts.
4. Ethernet cable included as standard
With a built-in Ethernet cable (Cat6A compatible) as standard, it can be used for a wide range of applications. For example, it can be used for tracking using handheld devices and cameras, 2D or 3D vision, and scanning applications, which are used in work picking systems and inspection processes.
Main applications
Assembly of small parts, inter-process transport, packing, sorting, inspection, etc.
