OVERVIEW

The Yaskawa HC10 is a six-axis collaborative robot designed for flexible automation alongside people in manufacturing and production environments.

It combines a 10 kg payload, 1,200 mm horizontal reach, hand-guided teaching, Power and Force Limiting technology, and Yaskawa industrial robot control for assembly, machine tending, handling, packing, and welding applications.

The original HC10 has evolved through HC10DT and the current HC10DTP generation, so buyers should confirm the exact model, controller, protection rating, utilities, and pendant included in a new quotation.

As an earlier generation in Yaskawa’s collaborative range, the HC10 is most relevant where its 10 kg payload and 1,200 mm reach suit the task and the exact arm, controller, and safety configuration can be confirmed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Yaskawa HC10 cost? +

The Yaskawa HC10 price is normally available by quotation rather than one fixed worldwide price. The original HC10 name covers multiple generations, and current new-system quotations may use the HC10DTP configuration. The final cost can change depending on country, configuration, controller or software, tooling, freight, taxes, installation, training, warranty and support.

Buyers should therefore be careful when comparing prices online because one figure may cover only the core machine while another may include the equipment required for a working deployment. For factories, integrators, machine shops, food-production teams, welding cells and training centres, the important question is not only the headline price but what is included, what is excluded, and what is required before the system can perform the intended task?

Common additions may include a gripper or process tool, safety devices, mounting, Smart Pendant or standard pendant, vision, fixtures, programming, integration and commissioning. These items can materially change the total delivered and deployed cost. A lower initial figure may become more expensive after integration, site preparation, accessories and service are added, while a higher quotation may offer a more complete and lower-risk package.

You can request a Yaskawa HC10 quote through Anton Robots to compare the current product status, package, delivery assumptions and support before committing to the purchase.

Where can I buy the Yaskawa HC10? +

You can buy or request the Yaskawa HC10 or its current HC10DTP equivalent through Anton Robots. We help buyers confirm whether the exact product or current equivalent is commercially available, compare supplier or manufacturer information, understand the package and decide whether it is suitable for the intended application. The Yaskawa HC10 may also be sourced through Yaskawa Motoman and authorised partners, but the buying route depends on the product, region and deployment type. Not every offer represents the same scope. Some quotations cover only the core hardware, while others may include the controller, tools, software, installation, commissioning, training, warranty handling and local service.

Before buying, confirm the precise model, included equipment, delivery destination, site requirements and who is responsible for integration. This is particularly important for factories, integrators, machine shops, food-production teams, welding cells and training centres, where selecting the wrong configuration can create additional cost or prevent the equipment from performing the required task. Compare the full deployed solution rather than only the lowest advertised figure.

You can review related collaborative robots and request current buying options through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a Yaskawa HC10 for sale? +

You can find a Yaskawa HC10 for sale or request the current HC10DTP through Anton Robots, the manufacturer, authorised distributors, integrators or specialist equipment suppliers, depending on current availability and region. However, locating a listing is only the first step. Buyers should confirm the exact model or generation, commercial status, package contents and whether the offer is new, used, demonstration stock, a project deployment or a service agreement. Used or older HC10 and HC10DT units should not be assumed to match the current HC10DTP in protection, utilities, flange design, controller or support status.

For professional purchases, compare the total delivered and deployed cost, including freight, taxes, tools, software, installation, commissioning, training and support. This is especially important for factories, integrators, machine shops, food-production teams, welding cells and training centres, where a machine that appears cheaper may require substantial additional work before it can operate. Ask for a written scope, technical configuration, delivery estimate and warranty terms.

If you are looking for a Yaskawa HC10 for sale, contact Anton Robots before placing an order so the product status and complete package can be checked.

Can I get a quote for the Yaskawa HC10? +

Yes. You can get a quote for the Yaskawa HC10 through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should include more than a single equipment price. It should clearly identify the precise HC10 generation, 10 kg manipulator, YRC controller, programming pendant, tooling, safety equipment, integration and commissioning, together with freight assumptions, taxes, delivery timing, installation responsibilities, warranty and after-sales support.

This matters because the same product name can describe very different scopes. A quotation for core hardware is not directly comparable with a turnkey deployment that includes tooling, site work, programming, commissioning and operator training. Before requesting a quote, provide the task, material or payload, working dimensions, required throughput, facility or jobsite conditions, destination country and preferred delivery timing. The quote should also verify whether the original HC10, HC10DT or current HC10DTP is being supplied and whether collaborative speed and guarding assumptions are supported by the risk assessment.

Anton Robots can also help you compare the Yaskawa HC10 with other collaborative robots when the required payload, reach, autonomy, application maturity or budget suggests that another model may be a better fit.

What is included when you buy the Yaskawa HC10? +

A typical Yaskawa HC10 package depends on the supplier, configuration and whether the purchase is for core equipment or a complete deployment. The exact scope changes between an original HC10, later HC10DT and current HC10DTP package.

Before buying, request a written packing list and scope of supply. Confirm whether the offer includes:

  • Yaskawa HC10-series manipulator
  • YRC1000 or YRC1000micro controller
  • Standard Pendant or Smart Pendant
  • Robot and controller cables
  • Mounting hardware or workstation if specified
  • Gripper, welder, vision or other process tooling
  • Safety equipment and risk-assessment support
  • Programming, installation and training
  • Shipping, warranty and after-sales support

Two quotations can both use the name “Yaskawa HC10” while including very different equipment and services. Tools, batteries, controllers, safety equipment, software licences, site preparation, installation and training are frequently separate unless explicitly stated. For commercial buyers, the complete operating package is more important than the headline price.

You can request an itemised package quote through Anton Robots to confirm exactly what is included and what must be sourced separately.

Can the Yaskawa HC10 be shipped or delivered internationally? +

The Yaskawa HC10 can be supplied internationally through Yaskawa and regional integration channels, subject to territory and configuration. Delivery depends on destination, product configuration, stock or production schedule, freight method, local regulations and the supplier’s service territory. The manipulator, controller, pendant and tooling may ship as separate crates, and commissioning is normally completed locally by the supplier or integrator.

Buyers should ask whether the quotation includes freight, insurance, customs clearance, duties, VAT or GST, unloading, site access, commissioning and returnable transport frames. Large industrial and construction systems may require specialised lifting, road transport, access planning or installation crews, while smaller research robots may still have battery and electronics shipping requirements.

Do not assume the displayed equipment price is the final landed cost. If the machine is needed for a fixed production start, project milestone, research programme or construction schedule, request a realistic delivery plan and identify who carries responsibility at each stage. You can request delivery and shipping information through Anton Robots before purchase.

Is the Yaskawa HC10 available and how long does delivery take? +

Yaskawa HC10 availability and delivery time can change. The original HC10 may appear as used or legacy equipment, while current new orders are more likely to be quoted as HC10DTP. Timing may depend on regional stock, controller selection, pendant, tooling, safety hardware, integration engineering and factory acceptance testing. A website listing, brochure or demonstration does not guarantee that the exact configuration is ready for immediate shipment.

Buyers should ask whether the product is in local stock, built to order, allocated by project, available only through selected territories, discontinued, or supplied as part of a wider system. They should also confirm whether optional tools, controllers, batteries, racks, software or installation services follow a different lead time. This is particularly important for factories, integrators, machine shops, food-production teams, welding cells and training centres working toward a fixed launch, harvest, shutdown, construction or research date.

A useful supplier response should state the commercial status, current configuration, estimated production or dispatch date, shipping time and commissioning schedule. You can request current Yaskawa HC10 availability through Anton Robots before planning around a delivery date.

What warranty and support should I check before buying the Yaskawa HC10? +

Before buying the Yaskawa HC10, confirm the warranty period, covered components, exclusions, service territory, response process and availability of parts. For an older HC10, verify controller generation, software compatibility, parts support and whether documentation transfers with the machine. The equipment may require support for controller setup, calibration, programming, safety functions, tooling, spare parts and preventive maintenance.

Ask who provides first-line support, whether remote diagnostics are available, where repairs are completed, how long critical parts normally take and whether preventive maintenance is required to preserve the warranty. Also confirm coverage for batteries, motors, controllers, sensors, tools, wear components and damage caused by unsuitable operating conditions. For production, warehouse, agricultural and construction deployments, downtime can be more expensive than the purchase-price difference between two offers. Training, spare parts and a service plan should therefore form part of the buying decision.

Before purchasing, request the warranty document and service scope in writing. You can contact Anton Robots to compare the package and support route before ordering.

Is the Yaskawa HC10 worth buying? +

The Yaskawa HC10 can be worth buying when you need a proven 10 kg collaborative platform with industrial controls, hand guiding and enough reach for medium-duty automation. It should be selected because its capabilities match a defined workflow, not simply because the technology is impressive. The strongest business case usually comes from repetitive work, measurable labour or safety constraints, suitable operating conditions and a clear plan for tooling, integration and support.

However, it is not the right choice for payloads above 10 kg, very long reach, or an application that has not been safety assessed. Buyers should calculate total ownership or project cost, expected utilisation, integration effort, training, maintenance and the value of the problem being solved. A technically capable robot can still be the wrong purchase when the task, environment or production volume does not justify it.

Compare the Yaskawa HC10 with other collaborative robots, and use the Anton Robots quote form to check whether the product, package and commercial status fit your requirements.

What is the payload and reach of the Yaskawa HC10? +

The Yaskawa HC10 has a 10 kg rated payload and approximately 1,200 mm horizontal reach. Payload calculations must include the workpiece, gripper or welding torch, brackets, hoses and cables. The 1,200 mm reach suits many machine-tending, bench, conveyor and fixture layouts, but the usable envelope depends on mounting position, wrist orientation and collision clearance.

If the combined tool and part approach 10 kg, select a larger model or reduce the tool mass rather than designing at the limit. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow. You can request HC10 sizing advice through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Is the Yaskawa HC10 suitable for machine tending? +

Yes, the Yaskawa HC10 can be a strong machine-tending cobot for suitable parts and machines. It can load and unload CNC machines, presses, test equipment and inspection stations when the payload, reach and cycle-time requirements fit. A complete cell may need a gripper, door interface, part presentation, machine I/O, guarding or scanners, and a method to handle chips, coolant and rejected parts. The current HC10DTP IP67 arm may be preferable where dust or fluids are present. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow.

You can request a machine-tending quote through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Can the Yaskawa HC10 be used for welding? +

Yes, Yaskawa offers HC-series configurations and workcells for collaborative welding. A welding deployment normally includes the robot, torch, power source, wire feeder, fixtures, fume extraction, welding interface, safety assessment and process programming. The 10 kg payload and 1,200 mm reach can suit smaller fabrications, but larger components or long seams may require a different arm, positioner or dedicated welding cell. Collaborative status does not remove arc, fume, heat and process hazards. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow.

You can request an HC10 welding quote through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Can the Yaskawa HC10 work safely near people? +

The Yaskawa HC10 includes Power and Force Limiting functions designed for collaborative applications. Safe operation still depends on the complete application, including tool geometry, payload, speed, workpiece hazards and possible trapping points. A risk assessment may allow collaborative operation in some phases while requiring scanners, reduced speed, separation monitoring or guarding in others.

Do not describe the arm as automatically safe around people without validating the configured cell. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow. You can request cobot safety guidance through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

How is the Yaskawa HC10 programmed? +

The Yaskawa HC10 can be programmed with hand-guided teaching and Yaskawa pendant tools. The exact workflow depends on controller and pendant selection. The Smart Pendant is designed to simplify common applications, while the standard pendant and INFORM programming provide deeper industrial functionality. External communication, offline simulation and ROS-related options may also be available, but should be specified before purchase because licences and controller compatibility matter. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow.

You can request programming options through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

What is the difference between HC10, HC10DT and HC10DTP? +

HC10, HC10DT and HC10DTP represent different generations or configurations within Yaskawa’s 10 kg collaborative robot line. The current HC10DTP product adds updated through-arm utilities, an industry-standard tool flange, broader motion capability, IP67 protection and food-grade grease. Older units may use different connectors, controllers, protection ratings and support arrangements.

Buyers should never assume an online HC10 listing has the same specifications as the current model. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.

Before purchase, ask for a task-specific demonstration, simulation or written technical review, together with measurable acceptance criteria and a clear list of exclusions. This helps separate a platform capability from performance that has actually been validated for your workflow. You can request model verification through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

What is required to deploy a Yaskawa HC10? +

A complete HC10 deployment requires the robot, controller, tooling and an engineered workcell. Define the task, payload, reach, mounting, cycle time, part presentation, I/O, electrical supply and safety concept. Add the correct gripper or process tool, fixtures, machine interfaces, operator controls and training. The integrator should validate payload data, programme the application and complete the risk assessment before production use. The complete application should be assessed using the real task, operating environment, required performance and all attached equipment rather than the robot specification alone.
