About
About GP12
Yaskawa Motoman GP12 is an industrial robot arm with six controlled axes, a 12 kg payload and a 1,440 mm working radius. Its articulated structure positions and orients tooling within a compact cell, with floor, ceiling, wall and tilted mounting configurations available to suit the equipment layout.
The arm provides internal user wiring and an air connection for integration of end tooling. Its mounting and flange drawings define the attachment interfaces for grippers and process equipment. The wrist has IP67 protection, while protection of the main axes depends on the specified version. These mechanical and service interfaces let an integrator build the arm into a handling or production cell with application-specific tooling.
