HC Series Cobots - Your New Work Assistants
When you hear the term “industrial robots”, you may associate this with images of welding or painting processes at automobile plants. Now however, robots are used in many more fields and across applications including logistics, pharma and food manufacturing. In recent years, skilled labour shortages at manufacturing sites have become an increasing challenge globally so that automation, utilizing robots has become increasingly significant. In addition, the needs for the utilization of robots are diversifying these days as we assign multiple jobs to one robot, not just make it repeat a simple single task as before.
Nevertheless, there are still challenges for the small and mid-sized company to install robots as the working area for humans has to be separated from industrial robots by a safety fence, which requires sufficient space and additional installation costs. The Yaskawa human collaborative robot (HC10) is a new generation of robotics that is capable, affordable, versatile, simple to use and built with the industrial strength for which Yaskawa products are known. These robots are for customers looking for easy automation, a robot to automate tasks, that can work in close proximity to humans.
Easy To Program
Application-specific wizards
Application wizards are designed to simplify the steps and decisions you need to make in order to have a working robot program. It is about hand guiding the tip to a sequence of positions, recording and playing back the sequence.
Intuitive Direct Teaching (DT)
The perfect entry into programming. Simply move the robot flange by hand, record the motion points and operate the gripper actuation by pressing the respective DT buttons. The code is automatically generated in the background on your pendant.
Innovative Smart Pendant
The 10-inch touchscreen is operated like a smartphone with features such as a blend in sidebar, large intuitive buttons or split screen mode Seamless direct teaching integration makes programming with collaborative robots particularly user-friendly.
Classic Teach Pendant
This pendant has the proven performance for complex tasks. With full access to our function portfolio, the robust industrial design and the combination of haptic feedback and touchscreen operation, programming possibilities are limitless.

Sophisticated Safety with 25 functions and PL d Cat. 3
Torque Sensors in each Joint
Each joint is monitored by a single sensor system, that can sense its environment. When a collision occurs, the HC executes a safe stop. The robot‘s sensitivity is adjustable to adapt to the respective production environment.
Retract & Clamp Release Function
Our unique safety technology detects clamping situations and reacts before someone gets hurt. An immediate robot retract reaction reduces the applied pressure, while the following free drive motion enables the operator to free himself.
Pushback Function
The robot can be pushed away smoothly while moving, i.e. when the robot gets in the way of the operator during manual work. After push back, the robot moves back to it‘s last position and continues his work.
Plug & Play with the Yaskawa Ecosystem
Yaskawa has partnered with the leading gripper and accessory manufacturers to provide our customers an ecosystem of 120+ ready-to-use compatible and plug & play products. By this, Yaskawa helps customers - that are new to robotics - to start their automation story today, as well as robot experts to find new possibilities of intelligent robotic systems.

3. Configurate on the Smart Pendant
Next Level Palletizing
The Cobot has six axles and a load capacity of 30 kg. It also offers a reach of 1,700 mm. This makes the Cobot ideal for palletizing applications. For palletizing tasks without safety fences, such as end-of-line packaging technology, it is the largest cobot in Yaskawa's HC series. The Smart Pattern Wizard palletizing software and the Yaskawa EcoSystem Plug & Play solutions are further advantages of the cobot.
The 6-axis robot has a load capacity of 20 kg. Thanks to its reach of 1,900 mm (effective 1,700 mm), the Cobot is ideal for palletizing. The Cobot can be guided by hand as well as by the intuitive Smart Pendant. This enables hand guidance via the wrist. This allows positions to be programmed quickly and easily. The cobot can therefore also be used in scenarios where newcomers are involved.

CUSTOMER PROJECT SUCCESS STORIES
““For us at Segbert, the decision was made in favor of the Yaskawa cobots because Yaskawa, as a well-known robot manufacturer, supplies reliable cobots that offer an ideal mix of high-quality mechanical engineering and a particularly flexible and compact design. The Yaskawa cobots therefore meet essential criteria for our palletizing and automation solutions.”
- Klaus Segbert, Managing Director Segbert GmbH & Co.KG
