Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP

The Motoman HC10DTP is Yaskawa's six-axis arm built for collaborative operation, with a dual tool flange so one wrist carries two end effectors and cuts change time between steps. It moves a 10 kg payload across a 1379 mm reach, keeping a full industrial load in a cobot footprint. Repeatability holds at 0.05 mm.

Power and force limiting lets the arm run fence free once an application clears a risk assessment. Speed drops in collaborative mode, so cycle expectations should account for that. The tradeoff buys floor space and puts the arm within reach of an operator.

Hand guiding lets someone grab the arm and lead it through positions instead of jogging every point from the pendant. That shortens setup on short runs and frequent changeovers. The pendant stays available for fine adjustments.

Mounting covers floor, wall, ceiling, and tilt, so the arm can hang over a machine, sit beside a bench, or angle where a level surface won't fit. The body is rated IP67. The arm weighs 58 kg.

A YRC1000 or YRC1000micro controller drives the six axes. The dual tool flange carries two end effectors at once, so a job that alternates tasks avoids a mid-cycle tool changer swap. That keeps changeover quick on mixed work.

On the floor it fits machine tending and pick and place, where the second tool trims idle time between load and unload. The dual flange helps most where two operations sit back to back on one part. Every new job still needs its own risk assessment before the fence comes down.
