Robot details

The YASKAWA MOTOMAN GP200S is a compact, high-speed, heavy-payload 6-axis industrial robot specifically designed for machine tending, material handling, part transfer, and press automation applications. Unlike the long-reach GP200R, the GP200S features a short-arm design, providing exceptional rigidity, high acceleration, and superior performance in compact workcells where heavy loads must be moved with speed and precision. It offers a payload capacity of 200 kg and a horizontal reach of 1,886 mm. 

Powered by the advanced YRC1000 controller, the GP200S delivers fast cycle times, precise motion control, easy programming, and seamless integration into modern Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments. The robot's compact footprint allows high-density installation, while its high moment of inertia ratings make it ideal for handling large and heavy workpieces.  

The GP200S is commonly used in automotive manufacturing, metal processing, machining centers, press shops, logistics systems, and industrial production lines where heavy payload capacity and maximum productivity are required.
