Increase Your Productivity with the Masters of Material Handling: The New Motoman GP Series

Motoman is proud to announce that it will expand its range of indus­tri­al mate­r­i­al han­dling robots with the new GP series. This series, due out Octo­ber 2016, will include the GP 7, GP 8, and GP 12. All of these robots will be com­pact, slen­der, yet cur­va­ceous to enable a pen­e­tra­tion into deep work spaces while also pro­vid­ing a large work enve­lope. To help pro­vide even more flex­i­bil­i­ty, there are ver­sa­tile mount­ing options: floor, ceil­ing, and wall.

If your appli­ca­tion requires a robot that can with­stand a harsh work­ing envi­ron­ment, then no fur­ther mod­i­fi­ca­tion would be need­ed for any of the three GP series mod­els. Each one has a smooth sur­face which facil­i­tates clean­ing and are rat­ed IP67. Addi­tion­al­ly, these three mod­els rep­re­sent sim­pli­fi­ca­tion at its finest as only one robot cable is need­ed to con­nect the manip­u­la­tor and con­trol unit. This is a huge advan­tage as it brings a small­er foot­print, reduced main­te­nance expens­es, and less over­all wear.

If all of this was­n’t enough, Motoman set the bar real­ly high with the fast speeds and accel­er­a­tions seen with this series. All of the new GP mod­els incor­po­rate the fast and high­ly dynam­ic Sigma‑7 series motors. Watch the speeds of the GP8 in action! 

Pro­vid­ing a range of options for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions, each robot offers slight­ly dif­fer­ent pay­loads and reach­es. The Motoman GP7 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. You can read more about the specifics for each robot here!

The GP series robots are con­trolled by the new, com­pact YRC 1000 con­troller. The YRC 1000 was designed to bring the robot accel­er­a­tion and speed to new stan­dards, while also min­i­miz­ing the uti­liza­tion of space on the floor. It is the light­est pro­gram­ming device in its class, weigh­ing in at a mere 730 g.

The Motoman GP series is ready to con­quer your mate­r­i­al han­dling job by bring­ing high speeds, amaz­ing effi­cien­cy, and tak­ing up min­i­mal floor space.
