MOTOMAN YASKAWA SP165
Robot details
The YASKAWA MOTOMAN SP165 is a high-performance 6-axis spot welding and handling robot engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern automotive manufacturing and industrial automation. Designed for exceptional welding productivity, precision, and reliability, the SP165 combines a high payload capacity, compact design, and advanced motion performance to optimize production efficiency in high-volume spot welding environments.
With an impressive 165 kg payload capacity and a generous 2,702 mm working reach, the SP165 is suitable for a wide range of spot welding guns, servo-controlled welding systems, grippers, and end-of-arm tooling. Its robust wrist structure and high allowable moments make it particularly effective for demanding spot welding applications requiring fast and accurate positioning.
The robot is powered by the advanced YRC1000 controller, providing high-speed processing, superior path accuracy, intelligent motion control, and seamless integration with automated welding systems. Combined with Yaskawa Sigma-7 servo technology, the SP165 delivers outstanding cycle times, excellent energy efficiency, and optimized production performance.
Its slim profile design eliminates the need for mechanical counterbalances, reducing moving mass and enabling faster acceleration and smoother motion. The integrated spot harness improves wrist flexibility while minimizing cable wear and reducing maintenance requirements. A wide wrist motion range further enhances accessibility and simplifies programming of complex welding paths.
The SP165 is widely used in automotive body assembly plants, Body-in-White (BIW) production lines, metal fabrication facilities, and automated manufacturing systems where high productivity, repeatability, and weld quality are critical.
