Yaskawa Motoman GP25

The Motoman GP25 is a 6-axis industrial arm that carries 25 kg out to a 1730 mm reach, and Yaskawa positions it as a mid payload robot for handling and machine tending. It sits on the GP platform, so the record leans on a strong speed-to-payload ratio and a compact base footprint. Six axes give it the full wrist orientation range of an articulated arm, and Yaskawa introduced it in 2017.

Machine-tending comes first in the applications field, and the summary calls it a common choice for CNC tending. Its repeatability holds at 0.02 mm, tight enough for placing parts into fixtures and chucks on tending work. The record also flags it as reliable in multi-shift CNC tending, and the 25 kg rating leaves room for a gripper alongside a mid-size part.

Mounting options in the record cover floor, wall, tilt, and ceiling, so you can orient the arm to fit the cell. It weighs 250 kg and runs on the YRC1000 controller. Both figures feed into how you size the base plate and lay out the surrounding equipment.

Beyond tending, the applications field lists palletizing, packaging, and general material handling, which fits a mid payload arm moving lighter cases. Its protection rating reads IP67 wrist / IP54 body (IP65 body XP option). The record notes that the 25 kg payload limits use with heavy fixtures.

Reach is moderate next to dedicated palletizers, so the GP25 reads as a general handling and tending arm rather than a long-reach one. If the mid payload and the 1730 mm work envelope match your cell, it covers the handling and tending roles the record describes. See also KUKA KR 16 R2010 and Doosan H2515.
