Head to head
FANUC M-710iC/50 vs Yaskawa Motoman GP50
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Mid-size workhorse for handling and welding lines
Versatile 50 kg robot for handling and packaging
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
On paper these two are close, both carry 50 kg and 2050 mm against 2061 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the FANUC M-710iC/50 on the R-30iB Plus and the Yaskawa Motoman GP50 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 FANUC M-710iC/50 lists Angle mounting while the Yaskawa Motoman GP50 lists Wall and Tilt mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at material handling and machine tending, with the FANUC M-710iC/50 stretching to arc welding and assembly and the Yaskawa Motoman GP50 to packaging and palletizing.
