Motoman MS80

The Yaskawa Motoman MS80 is a high‑performance 6‑axis industrial robot designed primarily for medium‑payload applications such as spot welding, handling, and high‑speed automated processes. With an 80 kg payload capacity and a horizontal reach of approximately 2236 mm, the MS80 provides a combination of strength, rigidity, and extended working envelope suitable for demanding production environments.

DX100 Controller

The DX100 controller, used with the MS80 family, is an advanced multi‑robot control platform designed for complex automation cells. Key features include:

• Multi‑robot control: Manages up to 8 robots / 72 axes within a single controller
• Integrated collision avoidance and high‑speed interpolation
• Windows CE teach pendant with color touchscreen (from MS80 literature)
• Extensive I/O capability, including 2,048 I/O points and fieldbus support (EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus‑DP, etc.)
• High‑speed communication for improved control response and smoother robot trajectories
• Compliance with major industrial safety standards, with optional Category 3 functional safety units

Typical Use Cases

• Automotive spot welding
• Material handling of medium‑weight components
• High‑density welding cells
• Applications requiring long reach and high stiffness
• Production lines where reduced cycle time is a priority
