Used Yaskawa Motoman Robots for Sale
Current Used Motoman Inventory
Robotics Integration lists used and refurbished Yaskawa Motoman robots, covering articulated arms for material handling and arc welding. Current inventory spans HP6, UP6, HP20D, UP130, ES165D, HP165, and MH180 units, with payloads from 6 kg to 180 kg and controllers including DX100, NX100, XRC, and XRC 2001. Each listing states condition, either refurbished or used, along with the controller generation included with the manipulator. Because stock changes and some units are arm-only, every quote is confirmed against current availability before it is issued. To check on a specific unit, send the application details noted below or call for a current quote.

New Refurbished and Used Motoman Robots
New, refurbished, and used mean different things for Motoman equipment, and the difference affects both price and the work needed before startup. A new robot is never used and comes through current channels in current model families. A refurbished robot has gone through cleaning, visual inspection, mechanical and electrical testing, replacement of worn consumables, and typically a mastering check. A used robot is sold closer to as-removed condition, with less service work performed before sale, and some listings are arm-only without a controller.
Normal refurbishment scope commonly includes reducer and grease inspection at each axis, manipulator cable and dress-pack inspection for cuts or flex fatigue, battery replacement when due, mastering verification, teach pendant function checks, and controller power-up and alarm-history review. Refurbishment is not automatic remanufacture; ask the seller for a written list of parts replaced, tests run, and results measured.
Current Motoman product lines use family names such as:
- GP general-purpose handling robots
- MH handling robots for loading, processing, and distribution
- AR arc-welding robots
- HC collaborative robots for handling and palletizing
- MPL and PL palletizing robots
Used inventory more often carries earlier designations such as HP, UP, MH, and ES paired with DX100, NX100, or XRC controllers. A used or arm-only unit can lower the purchase price but shifts battery, cable, and reducer work to the buyer; a refurbished unit shifts more of that work to the seller.
Matching Payload Reach and Controller to the Job
Payload rating must include the full end-of-arm tooling weight, not just the part being handled. A gripper, quick-change plate, and cabling all subtract from the manufacturer’s rated payload, and running near the limit at an offset tool-center-point changes inertia and cycle behavior. Reach and work envelope should be checked against actual fixture locations, wrist orientation at each station, singularities, and collision zones, not just the datasheet’s maximum reach number. Mounting orientation, floor, wall, shelf, or inverted, and axis count both affect which motions are physically possible in the cell.
Controller generation matters as much as the manipulator itself. Yaskawa Motoman controllers commonly found on used units run from XRC through NX100, DX100, DX200, and current YRC1000 platforms. Controller compatibility depends on motor and encoder configuration, parameter sets, firmware, teach pendant type, safety circuit, I/O hardware, and option licenses, not just cable connectors. An older controller such as a DX100 may lack support for newer fieldbus modules, safety architecture, or current programming tools, which affects integration cost and long-term parts availability.
Inspection Checklist Before Buying a Used Robot
Before accepting a used Motoman robot, verify its condition against a documented checklist rather than a power-on demonstration alone. Request raw hour counters and their definitions, since servo-on hours, motion hours, and total power-on hours are not the same measurement.
- Current alarms and historical alarm log, including overtravel, encoder, overload, collision, and communication events
- Reducer condition at each axis: abnormal noise, oil or grease leakage, temperature, vibration, and backlash under load
- Mastering and calibration status, especially after transport, encoder work, battery loss, or any crash event
- Backup battery condition and replacement history, since failure can threaten encoder position data
- Manipulator cables, dress pack, connectors, and teach-pendant cable checked for cuts, crushed sections, or flex fatigue
- Software options installed, such as welding packages, vision interfaces, conveyor tracking, or safety functions, with license transferability confirmed
- Backup of parameter files, calibration data, and application programs before any further service work
What Drives Used Robot Price
Used Yaskawa Motoman price depends on more than payload class. Controller generation matters: an XRC or NX100 unit generally carries different value than a DX100 or DX200 system because of software support, fieldbus options, and remaining parts availability. Condition matters as well, since refurbished units with documented testing and consumable replacement represent more completed work than an as-removed used unit or an arm-only listing without a controller.
Included options change the comparison further: a welding package, vision interface, conveyor tracking, dress pack, and functioning teach pendant all add usable value beyond the bare manipulator. Payload class affects both scarcity and handling cost, since larger units such as a 130 kg or 180 kg robot involve more rigging and freight than a 6 kg unit. A used or refurbished unit already in inventory can offer a shorter path to installation than a new-robot order; confirm lead time at the time of quote. Total delivered cost, not arm price alone, is the correct comparison once freight, tooling, and commissioning are included.
Why Buy Through Robotics Integration
Robotics Integration works with the robot after the sale, not only at the point of purchase. That includes integration into an existing or new cell, end-of-arm tooling selection and mounting, safety guarding and interlock wiring, installation, programming, operator training, and ongoing repair support for the manipulator and controller. This matters for used equipment because a functioning arm on a bench is not the same as a validated production cell.
Work on a purchased unit typically follows mechanical installation, cabinet and power connection, safety-circuit validation, cable and I/O connection, controller backup and configuration, mastering verification, tool and user-frame setup, program transfer, dry-run testing, and production trials. A documented risk assessment and safeguarding validation, covering emergency stops, enabling devices, and restart behavior, is part of bringing a used robot into service rather than an afterthought handled later.
Request a Quote
To get a quote on a used or refurbished Yaskawa Motoman robot, send the application (handling, machine tending, palletizing, or arc welding), the part or tool weight including the gripper, required reach, cycle time, and preferred brand or controller generation if you have one. Include mounting orientation and any software options the process requires, such as welding packages or vision interfaces.
Because inventory changes and some units are listed arm-only, every quote is confirmed against current stock before it is issued. Call 1-602-449-1556 to discuss available Motoman units, controller options, and what is needed to get a specific model running in your cell.
