Head to head
FANUC CRX-10iA vs Yaskawa Motoman HC20
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
A cobot built to run four years without maintenance.
Higher payload cobot for heavier collaborative tasks
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the Yaskawa Motoman HC20 carries more, 20 kg to the FANUC CRX-10iA's 10 kg, and the Yaskawa Motoman HC20 reaches farther, 1700 mm to 1249 mm. If precision drives the job, the FANUC CRX-10iA holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.04 mm. They run different controllers, the FANUC CRX-10iA on the R-30iB Mini Plus and the Yaskawa Motoman HC20 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 HC20 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 HC20 to collaborative assembly and material handling.
- Fast setup with hand-guiding
- Low maintenance
- Light enough to move between cells
- Higher payload than most collaborative robots
- Full size industrial reach in a cobot form factor
- Washdown rated for light industrial environments
- Power and force limiting
