OVERVIEW

The Yaskawa MotoMini is a compact six-axis industrial robot designed for fast, precise automation of very small components in high-density workspaces.

It combines a 0.5 kg payload, 350 mm horizontal reach, 495 mm vertical reach, high acceleration, internal cabling and flexible floor, wall or ceiling mounting with the compact YRC1000micro controller.

MotoMini is best suited for electronics, small-part assembly, dispensing, inspection, machine loading, laboratory automation, pick and place, and compact production cells where speed and footprint matter more than payload.

Its very small footprint, high speed, and 0.5 kg payload make the MotoMini strongest for dense small-part automation rather than applications requiring substantial reach or load capacity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Yaskawa MotoMini cost? +

The Yaskawa MotoMini price is provided by quote and varies with controller, pendant, tooling and integration. Yaskawa actively lists MotoMini and provides a direct pricing request route. 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 electronics manufacturers, laboratories, medical-device producers, machine builders and high-speed assembly teams, 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 miniature gripper, vacuum tool, dispenser, camera, fixtures, guarding, controller options, programming and cell integration. 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 MotoMini 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 MotoMini? +

You can buy or request the Yaskawa MotoMini 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 MotoMini 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 electronics manufacturers, laboratories, medical-device producers, machine builders and high-speed assembly teams, 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 robotic arms and request current buying options through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a Yaskawa MotoMini for sale? +

You can find the Yaskawa MotoMini for sale 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. A listing for the manipulator alone should not be compared directly with a working automation cell that includes the YRC1000micro controller, pendant, tooling and safety equipment.

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 electronics manufacturers, laboratories, medical-device producers, machine builders and high-speed assembly teams, 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 MotoMini 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 MotoMini? +

Yes. You can get a quote for the Yaskawa MotoMini through Anton Robots. A useful quotation should include more than a single equipment price. It should clearly identify MotoMini manipulator, YRC1000micro controller, programming pendant, cables, mounting, end-of-arm tooling, safety equipment and integration, 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 supplier should verify that the complete moving mass remains within 0.5 kg and that the required positions fit inside the compact reach envelope.

Anton Robots can also help you compare the Yaskawa MotoMini with other robotic arms 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 MotoMini? +

A typical Yaskawa MotoMini package depends on the supplier, configuration and whether the purchase is for core equipment or a complete deployment. MotoMini is normally sold as part of an industrial robot system rather than as a self-contained tabletop arm.

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

  • Yaskawa MotoMini manipulator
  • YRC1000micro controller
  • Programming pendant and cables
  • Robot-to-controller cable set
  • Mounting plate or frame if specified
  • Gripper, vacuum tool, dispenser or inspection sensor
  • Safety guarding, scanner or interlocks
  • Programming, commissioning and training
  • Shipping, warranty and service

Two quotations can both use the name “Yaskawa MotoMini” 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 MotoMini be shipped or delivered internationally? +

The Yaskawa MotoMini can be supplied internationally through regional Yaskawa and integration partners. Delivery depends on destination, product configuration, stock or production schedule, freight method, local regulations and the supplier’s service territory. Although the arm is compact, the shipment also needs the controller, pendant, cables and any tooling or frame included in the project.

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 MotoMini available and how long does delivery take? +

Yaskawa MotoMini availability and delivery time can change. MotoMini remains an active Yaskawa product, but immediate stock depends on country and system configuration. Timing may depend on regional inventory, controller allocation, end-effector selection, cell design, guarding, programming and 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 electronics manufacturers, laboratories, medical-device producers, machine builders and high-speed assembly teams 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 MotoMini availability through Anton Robots before planning around a delivery date.

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

Before buying the Yaskawa MotoMini, confirm the warranty period, covered components, exclusions, service territory, response process and availability of parts. The equipment may require support for controller configuration, robot calibration, tooling setup, programming, 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 MotoMini worth buying? +

The Yaskawa MotoMini can be worth buying when your process uses very light parts and needs six-axis flexibility, a small footprint and fast cycle times. 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, its 0.5 kg payload is unsuitable for larger grippers, heavier components or medium-duty cobot work. 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 MotoMini with other robotic arms, 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 MotoMini? +

The Yaskawa MotoMini carries up to 0.5 kg and provides 350 mm horizontal reach, with a 495 mm vertical reach specification. The payload must include the part, gripper, sensor, fittings and moving cables. This low payload is deliberate: MotoMini is optimised for miniature tooling and extremely fast motion in compact spaces. Build a reach study using the actual fixture and approach angles because the nominal dimensions do not guarantee access to every point. 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 MotoMini sizing advice through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Is the Yaskawa MotoMini good for pick and place? +

Yes, the Yaskawa MotoMini is designed for fast small-part pick and place. It can move electronic components, small moulded parts, laboratory items, caps, connectors and lightweight packages between feeders, nests, conveyors and machines. Performance depends on part presentation, gripper mass, vision, required accuracy and settling time. Randomly oriented items may require cameras, lighting and part-recognition software. 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 pick-and-place quote through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Can the Yaskawa MotoMini be used for assembly? +

Yes, MotoMini can support small-component assembly and insertion tasks. Its six axes help approach fixtures from different orientations, while the compact body suits dense cells. The application may still need force sensing, precision fixtures, screwdriving, dispensing, feeders or compliant tooling. Validate the forces and tolerances because robot repeatability is only one part of assembly quality. 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 assembly package through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

Is the Yaskawa MotoMini a collaborative robot? +

No, the Yaskawa MotoMini is a compact industrial robot, not a collaborative cobot. Its small size does not remove impact, trapping, tool or unexpected-motion hazards. A production installation normally requires a risk assessment and safeguards such as guarding, interlocks, light curtains or scanners. Buyers seeking hand guidance and Power and Force Limiting should compare Yaskawa HC-series cobots instead. 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 safety guidance through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

How fast is the Yaskawa MotoMini? +

Yaskawa positions MotoMini as a high-acceleration robot and states that it is approximately 20% faster than comparable small robots. Actual cycle time depends on move distance, payload, acceleration settings, path shape, tool, process dwell time and controller programme. A vendor cycle-time claim should be tested with the real task or simulated with realistic limits rather than applied directly to production estimates. 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 cycle-time validation through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

What controller does the Yaskawa MotoMini use? +

The Yaskawa MotoMini uses the compact YRC1000micro controller. The controller, programming pendant, I/O and communication options are central to the purchase and should be included in the quotation. Confirm electrical supply, network interfaces, safety I/O, fieldbus requirements and whether offline simulation or external control software is needed. 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 controller options through Anton Robots before selecting the final configuration.

What is required to install a Yaskawa MotoMini? +

MotoMini needs a rigid mounting structure, controller, tooling, safety system and programmed cell. The integrator should define the work envelope, mounting orientation, cable routing, feeder or conveyor, fixture positions and access for maintenance. Because the arm is intended for fast motion, structural rigidity and collision clearance are important even though the payload is small. 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.
