Mid-Size Six-Axis Robot with Longer Reach
New Motoman GP robot can reach beyond much larger models.
New extended-reach articulated-arm robot from Yaskawa Motoman combines long reach, exceptional speed and robust payload capacity for processes from palletizing to material handling and press tending. Model GP70L boasts 70-kg payload capacity, 2732-mm horizontal reach, 4715-mm vertical reach and 0.05-mm repeatability.
This intermediate-range unit fits between the GP50 and GP88 models, whose designations indicate the payload capacity in kg. The GP70L exceeds the reach of the GP110 model. The GP165R is the next size with longer reach.
