Head to head
FANUC M-710iC/70 vs Yaskawa Motoman GP50
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Higher-payload sibling for pallet and part transfer
Versatile 50 kg robot for handling and packaging
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the FANUC M-710iC/70 carries more, 70 kg to the Yaskawa Motoman GP50's 50 kg. If precision drives the job, the Yaskawa Motoman GP50 holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.03 mm. They run different controllers, the FANUC M-710iC/70 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/70 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 Yaskawa Motoman GP50 to packaging.
