As a significant move to deepen its industrial chain presence, the Ningbo subsidiary will primarily undertake the large-scale production of harmonic drive joint modules. The specialized production lines at the new facility have an annual designed capacity of 30,000 units. This capacity will be focused on serving the rapidly emerging field of humanoid robots. The harmonic drive joint modules produced here are core components that form the dexterous limb and torso motion joints of humanoid robots. The establishment of this scale production aims to provide a stable and reliable supply of core motion units for both the R&D prototyping and future mass production of humanoid robots.
Focus on Humanoid Robot Applications with Distinct Product Highlights
The series of harmonic drive joint modules now in production is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements for joint motion units in advanced applications like humanoid robots, featuring the following core characteristics:
1. High Precision & Large Hollow Design: The products offer superior motion control precision, enabling more human-like and nuanced movements for robots. Their unique large hollow structure provides ample internal space for cable routing, facilitating the integration of power, signal, and sensor lines. This simplifies overall robot wiring and enhances reliability.
2. High Integration & Multi-Functionality: The modules deeply integrate servo drives, high-precision encoders, and diversified I/O functions (including STO - Safe Torque Off, analog input, etc.), and feature built-in force sensing capabilities. This highly integrated "all-in-one joint" design significantly reduces the complexity and size of humanoid robot system integration.
3. Flexible Interface & Versions: Standard terminal connectors are provided for quick connections. Furthermore, to accommodate different robot structural designs, the product is available in both straight output shaft and side output shaft versions, offering greater design flexibility and space utilization for the complete robot.
Ningbo's Haishu District possesses a solid foundation and supportive ecosystem for high-end manufacturing. Joy-Motion's establishment here aims to leverage regional industrial chain resources. Through localized R&D support and manufacturing, the company seeks to accelerate product iteration and provide more timely and efficient technical and supply chain support to robotics customers in East China and across the nation, particularly innovative teams in the humanoid robot field.
