The verdict

The specs separate them here: the Omron TM12 carries more, 12 kg to the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP's 10 kg. If precision drives the job, the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP holds the tighter repeatability at ±0.05 mm. For a tight or overhead cell, the Omron TM12 lists Table mounting while the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP lists Tilt mounting, which the other does not. Both are aimed at machine tending, with the Omron TM12 stretching to material handling and assembly and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP to collaborative assembly and pick and place.
