Yaskawa Motoman AR2010
Long reach arc welding robot for large weldments
The AR2010 extends Yaskawa's arc welding line to a 2010 mm reach, built for welding long seams or servicing large fixtures without repositioning. Its hollow wrist keeps consumables and torch cable protected through the weld path.

Strengths & trade-offs
Strengths
- Long reach for large weldments

- Smooth path control for consistent bead quality
- Compatible with Yaskawa's welding process packages
Consider
- Larger arm needs more cell clearance than AR900
- Payload is sized for torches, not heavy tooling
In the field
How this arm shows up on real lines
The AR2010 is a six-axis arc welding arm with a 2010 mm reach, built to run long seams or reach across large fixtures without repositioning. It carries a 12 kg payload, enough for a welding torch and the cabling that feeds it. Repeatability holds at 0.03 mm, so taught weld points repeat pass after pass along a long path.
Mounting options cover Floor, Ceiling, Wall, and Tilt, so integrators can place the torch where a large weldment demands it. The arm masses 260 kg and sweeps a wide work envelope set by that 2010 mm reach. Motion runs on the YRC1000 controller.
Yaskawa routes the torch cable through a hollow wrist, keeping consumables and cabling on a protected path as the tool reorients through the weld. The record pairs that routing with smooth path control for a consistent bead. Together they aim at steady path accuracy over the full length of a seam.
The AR2010 is compatible with Yaskawa's welding process packages, so the arm plugs into a familiar weld schedule. Its long reach is pointed at large weldments that would otherwise need repositioning between passes. That single-setup coverage is what the 2010 mm arm is for.
The record lists an IP54 body (S, L, U) / IP67 wrist rating. It also flags more cell clearance than a shorter-reach arc arm, so it's worth sizing the envelope early. The payload is set for a torch rather than heavy tooling.
