Yaskawa Motoman GP7

The Motoman GP7 is a compact six-axis arm built for light assembly and small parts work. It carries a 7 kg payload over a 927 mm reach, a working envelope sized for tight, close-in cells. The slim arm is meant to stay fast through light-duty motion, which is the point of a robot pitched at small parts.

Repeatability sits at 0.01 mm, tight enough for the fine assembly and dispensing work it is built around. That precision is what keeps small, delicate parts landing in the same spot run after run, so downstream stations see consistent placement.

A slim wrist helps the arm feed into tight fixtures without fouling nearby tooling, which matters on a crowded bench. The wrist geometry, paired with a compact footprint, lets the GP7 tuck into cells that leave little clearance for the robot.

At 34 kg the GP7 is a light arm to rig and set up. Mounting covers floor, wall, tilt, and ceiling, so integrators can angle it into a fixture from more than one direction. That range of positions helps when the part presentation, not the robot, drives the cell layout.

The arm runs on the YRC1000 controller and is rated IP67. Its reach is on the short side, so it suits close-in work rather than long reaching spans. For alternatives, see also KUKA KR 6 R900 and Universal Robots UR3e.

In day-to-day production the GP7 handles pick-and-place and small-parts feeding, keeping short-cycle stations supplied. Its light payload keeps it best matched to small parts and light tooling, which is where it earns its spot on the line.
