MOTOMAN YASKAWA GP180-120
Robot details
The YASKAWA MOTOMAN GP180-120 is a long-reach, high-performance 6-axis industrial robot engineered for heavy-duty material handling, machine tending, press automation, welding, and large component transfer applications. As an extended-arm version of the standard GP180, the GP180-120 offers an impressive maximum reach of 3,058 mm while maintaining a payload capacity of 120 kg, making it ideal for handling large panels, oversized parts, and wide production cells.
Driven by the advanced YRC1000 controller, the GP180-120 delivers exceptional speed, accuracy, and reliability. Its streamlined arm structure minimizes interference with equipment and fixtures, allowing greater flexibility in complex automation environments. Combined with a robot track, the GP180-120 becomes an ideal solution for transferring large workpieces between multiple machines or manufacturing stations.
The GP180-120 is particularly popular in automotive manufacturing, metal fabrication, logistics, machine tending, welding, panel handling, and industrial automation projects where both long reach and significant payload capacity are required.
