Head to head
Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA vs Yaskawa Motoman HC10
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Collaborative arm for shared assembly workspaces
Dual-mode cobot: collaborative or full speed.
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The specs separate them here: the Yaskawa Motoman HC10 carries more, 10 kg to the Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA's 5 kg, and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10 reaches farther, 1200 mm to 910 mm. If precision drives the job, the Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.03 mm. They run different controllers, the Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA on the CR800-05VD and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10 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 HC10 lists Wall and Tilt mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at assembly and machine tending, with the Mitsubishi MELFA ASSISTA stretching to packaging and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10 to material handling.
