Small, Versatile and Fast GP4 Robot



The GP4 robot is equipped with a 4 kg payload for high-volume, small component processing. Axis speeds up to 1,000 degrees/s and fast acceleration/deceleration control for all robot positions optimize overall productivity. This model is engineered to provide agile operations for a wide range of applications including assembly, handling, machine tending and packaging.

The GP4 offers a wide work area for its size, making it a viable 6-axis alternative to SCARA-style robots typically used in the electronics and small parcel sortation industries. The GP4 features a 1,008 mm vertical reach, 550 mm horizontal reach and ±0.01 mm repeatability.

A compact footprint and slim body design minimize interference with peripheral devices. This enables the GP4 to be placed in close proximity to workpieces and other robots to create flexible, high-density layouts.

An IP67 rating and easy-to-clean surface facilitate use in sanitary or harsh environments, and an anti-corrosive paint option is available for further chemical resistance.

A single cable is all that is needed to connect the manipulator to the controller, resulting in easy set-up and reduced expenses for maintenance and spare parts inventory. An optional location (bottom) for the manipular cable connection reduces interference with walls.

The smallest robot in the GP-series product line, the GP4 is compatible with the YRC1000 controller or the compact YRC1000micro controller and utilizes a lightweight standard teach pendant with intuitive programming.
