The New Motoman GP Series- High Speed Material Handling Robots

Mas­ters at mate­r­i­al han­dling, the Motoman GP series is ready to con­quer your appli­ca­tion and increase your total pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. The robots in this series (GP 7, GP 8, and GP 12) offer high speeds and amaz­ing effi­cien­cy. Addi­tion­al­ly, all of the robots have a com­pact, slim design, a small footprint.

These robots were designed with the cus­tomer in mind; they hon­or your time and also pro­vide you with easy set-up, oper­a­tion, and main­te­nance. In addi­tion, all of the robots in the GP series offer the fol­low­ing characteristics: 

High Speeds:

The new Sig­ma 7 motors built by Yaskawa bring the robot speed to the top of its class. 

Flex­i­ble Mount­ing Options: 

There are ver­sa­tile mount­ing options such as floor, ceil­ing, and wall, pro­vid­ing your appli­ca­tion ulti­mate flexibility.

Reduced Inter­fer­ence Radius: 

The GP series have wrist struc­tures with great envi­ron­ment resis­tance. They can also reach deep into the work space while also being eas­i­ly placed next to oth­er robots. 

The reduced inter­fer­ence radius when the S‑axis is turn­ing is evi­dent when com­par­ing the Motoman MH5(L)S II and the GP7/8. The for­mer mod­el MH5(L)S II has an inter­fer­ence radius of 182 mm. The new GP7 and GP8 have an inter­fer­ence radius of 140 mm.

The reduced inter­fer­ence radius when the wrist is turn­ing is also shown by com­par­ing these mod­els. The for­mer mod­el, Motoman MH5S II, has an inter­fer­ence radius of 73 mm and the new mod­el G7 and G8 has an inter­fer­ence radius of 67 mm.

The wrist struc­ture of R, B, and T axes on the GP12 are IP67-com­pli­ant as a stan­dard spec­i­fi­ca­tion. The wrist strc­ture of S, L, and U axes are IP54-com­pli­ant (option IP65). The GP 12 Min­i­mized inter­fer­ence radius of the wrist MH12 (ear­li­er mod­el) is 136 mm; the GP12 offers 120 mm.

Easy Instal­la­tion:

Instal­la­tion, set-up, and main­te­nance are also a breeze as there is only one cable need­ed to con­nect the manip­u­la­tor and con­troller. This amounts to a more effi­cient instal­la­tion process, over­all oper­a­tion, and main­te­nance of equip­ment. The Motoman GP series robots are paired with the YRC1000 con­troller.

Sim­ple Cleaning: 

Clean­ing and inte­gra­tion will be a breeze with the GP series. They have an easy-to-clean sur­face that is IP67 rat­ed mak­ing them easy to clean, ready for use in harsh envi­ron­ments, and resis­tant to dust and coolants.

Com­pact Design: 

They have the best acces­si­bil­i­ty in their class. These robots have a slim, straight, com­pact, and sym­met­ri­cal arm design that requires min­i­mum instal­la­tion space and min­i­mizes inter­fer­ence with periph­er­al devices, even in small spaces. Addi­tion­al­ly, the manip­u­la­tor cable can be con­nect­ed on the bot­tom, instead of the side, which also helps to reduce inter­fer­ence with walls.

Large Work Envelope: 

The work enve­lope for these robots is large. They have an increased max­i­mum reach and hor­i­zon­tal reach that enables the robots to oper­ate in wider work areas.

Great Ver­sa­til­i­ty:

Addi­tion­al­ly, there are many dif­fer­ent work pieces and grip­pers that can be trans­ferred and mount­ed with 7kg/​8kg pay­loads and 38% greater allow­able moment. The speeds have also increased by 39% on all axes. The acceleration/​deceleration con­trol has been improved to achieve max­i­mum reduc­tion of acceleration/​deceleration times for all robot pos­tures. There is also a data sav­ing fea­ture that replaces the wire har­ness in the robot with­out hav­ing to con­nect to a battery.

Dif­fer­ences:

Each robot has vary­ing pay­loads and reach­es to best accom­mo­date a vari­ety of indus­tri­al needs. The GP 7 pro­vides 7 kg pay­load and 927 mm reach. The Motoman GP8 offers an 8 kg pay­load and 727 mm reach. The Motoman GP12 is a mate­r­i­al han­dling work­horse! The GP12 is the world’s high­est speed robot in its class. It has an amaz­ing work enve­lope with a 12 kg pay­load and 1440 mm reach. Gives the cus­tomer a slim design, com­pact nature, and abil­i­ty to work close and deep into work spaces.

Watch the Motoman GP8 in action, work­ing incred­i­bly effi­cient­ly at high speeds, in a pol­ish­ing cell!

You can now see why you won’t need to look any fur­ther for the per­fect solu­tion to your mate­r­i­al han­dling appli­ca­tion. It reduces the time required for start-up and main­te­nance of equip­ment. The GP-series was designed to enhance effi­cien­cy in instal­la­tion, oper­a­tion, and main­te­nance of equip­ment. It also suc­ceed­ed in glob­al­iz­ing the equip­ment. The GP series was specif­i­cal­ly designed to increase pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, offer the high­est pay­loads, speeds, and wrist allow­able moment in its class. 

You can see that this new Motoman GP-Series is tru­ly a cut­ting-edge robot sys­tem that pro­vides smart solu­tions for pro­duc­tion site issues. These robots are sure to meet the diver­si­fied needs of its cus­tomers with a wide range of func­tions and com­po­nents that boosts over­all pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and work effi­cien­cy. After read­ing all of the amaz­ing attrib­ut­es, it is evi­dent that the GP-series pro­vides the per­fect com­pact solu­tion that offers a total solution.
