Updated: 12 hours ago
IN A NUTSHELL
🔎 THE KEY DIFFERENCE Yaskawa Motoman GP110 has the higher stated load capacity and longer stated reach. Those figures help shortlist it for heavier loads or wider layouts, but do not prove a faster production cycle. |
→ CONSIDER FANUC R-1000iA/100F Consider it when its stated load and reach already cover your task and its controls fit your equipment. This article compares 100 kg with a published reach of 2230 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
→ CONSIDER Yaskawa Motoman GP110 Consider it when additional load capacity and reach matter. This article compares 110 kg with a published reach of 2236 mm; include the gripper and part in the load. |
💡 THE TAKEAWAY Choose the robot that handles your actual tool and part through the required path, with controls and support your team can use. Compare complete installation quotes, rather than arm-only prices. |
The FANUC R-1000iA/100F and the Yaskawa Motoman GP110 are direct competitors: six-axis robots with about 2.23 m reach, ±0.03 mm and about 660 kg of arm. The GP110 carries 10 kg more and is listed about 40% lower.
Quick verdict. The Yaskawa GP110 is the better value for 100–110 kg handling and machine loading, with a listed price $35,000 lower and an IP67 option. The FANUC R-1000iA/100F is the better choice for spot welding and sealing in FANUC plants, with inverted mounting.
