The verdict

On paper these two are close, both carry 10 kg and 1249 mm against 1379 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the FANUC CRX-10iA on the R-30iB Mini Plus and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP on the YRC1000 / YRC1000micro, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. For a tight or overhead cell, the FANUC CRX-10iA lists Inverted and Angle mounting while the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP lists Wall and Ceiling mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at machine tending, with the FANUC CRX-10iA stretching to palletizing and assembly and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP to collaborative assembly and pick and place.

FANUC CRX-10iA
  • Fast setup with hand-guiding
  • Low maintenance
  • Light enough to move between cells
Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP
  • Dual tool flange cuts tool change time
  • Full industrial payload in a collaborative package
  • Washdown rated arm
  • Power and force limiting
