The verdict

The specs separate them here: the ABB IRB 5710 carries more, 110 kg to the Yaskawa Motoman GP88's 88 kg. If precision drives the job, the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.03 mm. They run different controllers, the ABB IRB 5710 on the OmniCore V250XT and the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 on the YRC1000, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the ABB IRB 5710 lists Angled and Inverted mounting while the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 lists Wall and Ceiling mounting, which the other does not. They target different work: the ABB IRB 5710 at painting and dispensing, the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 at material handling and machine tending.

ABB IRB 5710
  • Slim profile for tight booth clearance
  • Sealed construction for solvent exposure
  • Long reach for full-panel coverage
  • Internal process line routing
Yaskawa Motoman GP88
  • Strong payload margin for multi part grippers
  • Solid reach for servicing wide cells
  • IP67 wrist standard; optional higher body protection on applicable versions
  • Good repeatability for its payload class
