Robot details

The YASKAWA MOTOMAN GP400R is a heavy-payload, shelf-mounted 6-axis industrial robot developed for demanding material handling, machine tending, press automation, and large-part transfer applications. With an impressive 400 kg payload capacity and an extended reach of 3,518 mm, the GP400R combines exceptional strength, long reach, and excellent repeatability for high-performance industrial automation. 

Unlike standard floor-mounted robots, the GP400R features a shelf-mounted design, allowing installation on elevated steel structures. This configuration extends the working envelope below the robot base while freeing valuable floor space for machinery, conveyors, and operators.

Powered by the advanced YRC1000 controller, the GP400R delivers smooth motion control, high-speed operation, advanced diagnostics, and seamless Industry 4.0 integration. Its parallel-link construction ensures outstanding rigidity and stability, even when handling oversized components with high inertia. 

The GP400R is particularly popular in:

• Automotive manufacturing
• Injection molding automation
• Large CNC machine tending
• Agricultural machinery production
• Construction equipment manufacturing
• Wood and furniture handling
• Heavy material handling
• Packaging automation
