Kinco
Strive to make Made in China a globally leading manufacturing brand
As a leading enterprise in motion control within the robotics industry, Kinco showcased its core technical solutions for humanoid robot joint modules. Its technical sharing and innovative practices directly address industrial pain points, providing critical support for advancing the development of "ultra‑innovative robotic motion control components".
At the conference, Song Zhihai, General Manager of Marketing and Solutions at Kinco, delivered a keynote speech entitled Core Components of Humanoid Robot Joint Modules: Technical Challenges and Kinco’s Innovative Practices. He conducted an in-depth analysis of the industry’s technical pain points and demonstrated Kinco’s innovation strength.
In his sharing, Song Zhihai pointed out that the core components of humanoid robot joint modules face multiple technical challenges. From a performance perspective, it is necessary to achieve high torque density output within an extremely compact space to meet the requirements of complex robotic movements. Meanwhile, torque ripple must be reduced to ensure the smoothness and precision of the robot’s motion, as any deficiency in this regard would compromise its performance in real‑world applications.
In terms of heat dissipation, if the heat generated by the joint module during long‑term operation cannot be effectively dissipated, it will lead to degraded motor performance or even damage. Therefore, an efficient thermal design is critical.
Furthermore, lightweight design also poses a major challenge. Reducing the weight of joint modules helps improve the overall flexibility and endurance of robots, yet this creates a trade‑off with ensuring structural strength and stability.
Against these technical challenges, Kinco has delivered remarkable results by virtue of its profound technological expertise and sustained innovation. As one of the first domestic companies to develop frameless torque motors, Kinco has achieved outstanding accomplishments in this field.
Through continuous optimization of electromagnetic solutions, Kinco's frameless torque motors have achieved world-class performance in terms of power density, cogging torque, and temperature rise control.
Taking power density as an example, Kinco frameless torque motors have achieved a breakthrough improvement. Compared with conventional motors, they deliver higher torque within the same volume, which significantly enhances the torque density of joint modules.
In terms of cogging torque control, torque ripple has been effectively reduced, enabling smoother and more natural motion of robots.
Meanwhile, the smaller motor size has successfully shortened the axial dimension of the joint module and reduced the overall weight, meeting the lightweight requirements of humanoid robots.
Kinco has also developed a full range of frameless hollow torque motors tailored to the diverse joint requirements of humanoid robots. With outer diameters ranging from 50mm to 160mm and torque outputs from 0.11 N·m to 9.2 N·m, these motors are capable of supporting a wide variety of applications across the shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck, and waist joints of humanoid robots.
In terms of wheeled humanoid robot solutions, the i-Kinco series omnidirectional steering wheel module solutions for wheeled humanoid robots launched by Kinco are also highly innovative.
This solution integrates high-precision steering motors and integrated traveling servo wheel hubs, significantly reducing the height of the steering wheel module and minimizing the turning radius, which greatly improves the space utilization of the wheeled humanoid chassis. It supports the construction of omni-directional mobile wheeled humanoid chassis with four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive, or three-wheel steering and three-wheel drive, making it adaptable to a wide range of working conditions. Kinco’s solution enables wheeled humanoid robots to operate conveniently and efficiently in narrow indoor passages and complex outdoor terrains.
In addition, this omnidirectional steering wheel module delivers exceptional low-speed stability, effectively reducing jitter and jerky motion during steering and travel. It also boasts high output torque, enabling smooth adaptation to various load conditions, while its easily replaceable walking wheels—as a wearable component—support convenient maintenance. The high-rigidity structural design minimizes the impact of external shocks on motion accuracy, providing robots with more reliable and precise motion control performance.
With the rapid growth of the global embodied intelligence market, power components for embodied intelligence robots, as core supporting parts, have become increasingly critical. Their performance directly determines the application performance of robots in various scenarios, making them a focal point of competition.
