FANUC CRX-10iA/L vs Yaskawa HC10DTP: 10 kg Cobot Comparison
Updated: 8 hours ago
IN A NUTSHELL
🔎 THE KEY DIFFERENCE Both are compared at 10 kg. FANUC CRX-10iA/L has the longer stated reach, which may help reach separated fixtures; it does not guarantee access at every tool angle. |
→ CONSIDER FANUC CRX-10iA/L Consider it when extra reach is useful while the compared load capacity is the same. This article compares 10 kg with a published reach of 1418 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
→ CONSIDER Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP Consider it when its stated load and reach already cover your task and its controls fit your equipment. This article compares 10 kg with a published reach of 1200 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
💡 THE TAKEAWAY Check the real tool, movement path and safety assessment before choosing. A collaborative label does not make every task safe without guarding; compare complete installation quotes. |
The FANUC CRX-10iA/L and the Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP are both IP67 cobots with 10 kg payload. The CRX-10iA/L reaches 1418 mm and weighs 39 kg. The HC10DTP reaches 1200 mm, weighs 58 kg and costs about 25% less.
Quick verdict. The Yaskawa HC10DTP is the better value for machine tending and welding within 1.2 m, with IP67 and a listed price $12,700 lower. The FANUC CRX-10iA/L is the better choice when the cell needs 1418 mm or a lighter arm.
