The verdict
On paper these two are close, 185 kg against 180 kg and 3143 mm against 3255 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the FANUC M-410iC/185 on the R-30iB Plus and the Kawasaki CP180L on the E03, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker.
