AIRSKIN for Yaskawa
Hightech safety for the universally applicable handling robot
The MOTOMAN GP180 handling robot
Highest safety level
AIRSKIN is certified as a safety sensor in Performance Level e, Category 3, according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 according to EN / IEC 62061.
Advanced skin technology
Quick reaction time for safer operations with the GP 180. Embedded modular safety functions.
The MOTOMAN GP180
The MOTOMAN GP180 handling robot offers a 180 kg payload, a 2,702 mm reach, and ±0.05 mm repeat accuracy.
Ideal for applications like heavy part handling, laser or spot welding, mechanical joining, and CNC machine loading, the GP180’s rigidity also supports mechanical workpiece processing.
Combining AIRSKIN soft pressure sensitive safety skin with a high performance industrial robot of Yaskawa gives you the best of both worlds – high payload and reach with proven robustness and precision plus fenceless operation – opening up limitless possibilities for fenceless automation.
Fenceless Airport Baggage Handling with AIRSKIN for Yaskawa
As airports face increasing passenger volumes and labor shortages, baggage handling operations require solutions that improve efficiency while reducing physical strain on staff.
Developed and integrated by our partner AAT Automation, the ABLE Mk2 (Automated Baggage Loading Equipment) automates the loading of passenger baggage into ULDs and baggage carts. The system combines a Yaskawa robot with AIRSKIN safety technology to support safe human-robot collaboration in a compact, space-efficient footprint.
Thanks to its fenceless design, operators can work safely in close proximity to the robot, while AIRSKIN provides collision detection capabilities that help create a safer working environment. The solution allows airports to optimize available space, streamline baggage handling processes, and reduce manual workload without compromising operational efficiency.
