Head to head
KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) vs Yaskawa Motoman GP7
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Fast small robot for high-speed handling.
Compact fast robot for small parts assembly
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
On paper these two are close, 6 kg against 7 kg and 901 mm against 927 mm of reach, near enough that the spec sheet alone will not decide it. They run different controllers, the KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) on the KR C4 compact and the Yaskawa Motoman GP7 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 GP7 lists Tilt mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly, with the KUKA KR 6 R900 (Agilus) stretching to material handling and machine tending and the Yaskawa Motoman GP7 to small parts handling and dispensing.
- High speed
- Multiple mounting options
- High speed for light payload work
- Slim wrist for tight fixture access
- Washdown rated wrist for light fluids
- Compact footprint
