- 9 min read
The FAIRINO FR10 and Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP are both 10 kg six-axis collaborative robots designed for industrial automation. This is a strong comparison because both robots sit in the same 10 kg payload class, but they are positioned very differently.
The FAIRINO FR10 is a value-focused cobot with public U.S. pricing, 14 kg published maximum payload headroom, 1,400 mm reach, optional IP65 protection, and a much lower acquisition cost.
The Yaskawa Motoman HC10DTP is a premium industrial cobot from one of the most established robotics manufacturers in the world. It offers strong industrial legacy, IP67 protection, hand-guided teaching, thru-arm utilities, Yaskawa controller ecosystem, and strong fit for harsh factory, welding, food, and pharmaceutical environments.
FAIRINO USA lists the FR10 at $10,199, with 10 kg payload, 1,400 mm reach, and ±0.05 mm repeatability. The FAIRINO product page also shows FR10 specifications including 10 kg max 14 kg, 1.5 m/s typical TCP speed, IP54 / IP65 optional, ≈40 kg arm weight, 190 mm footprint, and TCP/IP communication.
Yaskawa’s official Motoman HC10DTP page says the HC10DTP is available for immediate shipment and highlights improved thru-arm utilities for air, Ethernet, and I/O. Yaskawa’s datasheet/searchable technical source lists HC10DTP with 10 kg maximum payload, 0.05 mm repeatability, 1,379 mm maximum reach, 1,200 mm effective reach, 2,000 mm/s maximum linear TCP speed in non-collaborative mode, 1,000 mm/s in collaborative mode, and I/O expansion options including Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, and CC-Link.
For public price, Yaskawa does not publish a clean official MSRP on the Motoman page. The strongest public pricing sources found were: €38,120 excl. VAT on Unchained Robotics, and $27,000–$33,000 USD from Gongboshi / Xiangjing Shanghai. The Gongboshi page specifically lists YASKAWA HC10DTP, 10 kg payload, 1,379 mm reach, 0.05 mm repeatability, IP67, and price 27000~33000USD.
