GP4: Yaskawa’s Compact Six‑Axis Robot for Ultra‑Fast, Precise Automation
Yaskawa Motoman introduces the GP4, a remarkably fast and precise six‑axis robot engineered for a broad spectrum of automation tasks—from machine tending and assembly to packaging. With a 4‑kg (8.8‑lb) payload and axis speeds reaching 1,000°/s, the GP4 delivers unparalleled agility in a remarkably small footprint.
The GP4’s slim, compact chassis belies a generous work envelope—1,008 mm of vertical reach and 550 mm of horizontal reach—making it a compelling alternative to traditional SCARA configurations. It offers a repeatability of ±0.01 mm, an IP67 rating (waterproof and dust‑proof), and a clean, low‑maintenance surface that simplifies upkeep.
