MOTOMAN YASKAWA MHP 45L

Robot details

The YASKAWA MOTOMAN MHP45L is a specialized 6-axis handling robot designed specifically for hazardous and explosion-risk environments, particularly within automated paint shops and industrial coating systems. With a 45 kg payload capacity and an extended reach of up to 2,850 mm, the MHP45L eliminates the need for dedicated transfer equipment and enables efficient part movement throughout automated finishing lines. 

The robot is controlled by the YASKAWA DX200-FM controller, which is Factory Mutual (FM/FM-C) approved for operation in hazardous areas classified as Class 1, Division 1 environments. This makes the MHP45L an ideal solution for automotive paint shops, coating plants, chemical industries, fuel-related facilities, and manufacturing environments where explosive vapors or gases may be present. 

Available in both left-arm and right-arm configurations, the MHP45L provides exceptional flexibility, high-speed motion, and reliable operation when transferring car bodies, large components, and painted parts through automated production processes.
