Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12
Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12 combines a 12 kg payload, 1440 mm reach and six controlled axes for handling, assembly and part transfer. The supplied controller options are YRC1000 and YRC1000micro; the proposal should identify which package is included.

Handling, tooling and working envelope
The listed 150 kg approximate mass matters for pedestal and installation planning. For machine tending, check every pick-and-place pose, gripper opening and coolant exposure; a 1440 mm reach figure alone does not establish access inside a machine.
A handling robot moves the complete tool-and-part assembly between defined poses. Start with the gripper, adapters, services and workpiece, then check wrist moments and inertia for the chosen motion. A reach dimension describes the robot geometry; usable access also depends on tool length, wrist orientation, machine openings and fixtures. For assembly, define how the part is located and how insertion or seating is confirmed. For machine tending, include door travel, chuck or fixture status, chips, coolant and the recovery position. These details distinguish an arm-only purchase from a working transfer system.

Specifications and selection notes
Payload
Include the complete moving assembly. Check center of gravity and inertia as well as mass; a nominal load is not a rating for every offset or motion.
Maximum reach
Check the required tool position and orientation with the fixture and clamps in place. The geometric limit alone does not establish usable access.
Controlled axes
Check the required motion with the loaded assembly, limits and services. Specify indexing or coordinated movement and the selected drive arrangement.
Repeatability
Keep the stated measurement and conditions. Repeatability, absolute accuracy and finished-part quality are different characteristics.
Define what you need supplied
Robot package
Specify arm, controller, pendant, software and cables by exact version.
Tooling package
Add the gripper, adapters, sensors and part presentation required by the task.
Integrated transfer
Define machine interfaces, protection, programming and on-site commissioning separately.
Match the equipment to your installation
Plan the pedestal, anchoring and cable route around the robot mass and moving envelope. Match the offered controller, fieldbus, safety connections and electrical supply to the site. Keep access for mastering, grease points, connectors and tool replacement. During commissioning, check loaded paths, part-present signals, loss of grip, controlled stops and restart with the intended part family.
| Selection factor | Information to specify |
|---|---|
| Moving load | Part, gripper, adapters and services; include center of gravity and inertia at the wrist. |
| Pick and place positions | Coordinates, tool orientation, insertion depth and clearance at every handoff. |
| Grip and part detection | Contact surfaces, part variation, confirmation signals and the response to a missed pick. |
| Machine interface | Controller version, door/fixture sequence, I/O and a defined recovery state. |

Product and ordering questions
01What are the applications of Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12?+
Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12 combines a 12 kg payload, 1440 mm reach and six controlled axes for handling, assembly and part transfer. The supplied controller options are YRC1000 and YRC1000micro; the proposal should identify which package is included.
02Does robot payload equal the allowed part weight?+
No. The moving load includes the gripper, adapters, hoses and part. Its center of gravity, wrist moments and inertia must also fit the selected robot and motion. A part below the nominal payload can still require a different tool or robot because of its dimensions and offset.
03What should I consider when choosing Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12?+
The listed 150 kg approximate mass matters for pedestal and installation planning. For machine tending, check every pick-and-place pose, gripper opening and coolant exposure; a 1440 mm reach figure alone does not establish access inside a machine.
04What should the equipment package include?+
Identify the selected equipment and separate the following packages: robot package, tooling package, integrated transfer. State which accessories, controls, installation, programming and commissioning are included. This makes equipment-only and integrated proposals comparable without assuming identical supply scope.
05How can I request a quotation for Yaskawa MOTOMAN GP12?+
Send the required model or arrangement, quantity and destination, plus part, gripper, adapters and services; include center of gravity and inertia at the wrist; coordinates, tool orientation, insertion depth and clearance at every handoff. Add photographs or drawings and identify existing equipment. TubeFrame can then discuss model sourcing, configuration and partner-supported integration as separately defined work packages.
