Foundry-rated arm for harsh handling duty
Heavier duty robot for demanding handling tasks
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
On paper these two are close, 80 kg against 88 kg and 2230 mm against 2236 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the FANUC R-1000iA/80F on the R-30iB Plus and the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 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 Yaskawa Motoman GP88 lists Wall and Tilt mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at material handling and machine tending, with the Yaskawa Motoman GP88 to press tending.
