Kunwei erhält Serie-B-Finanzierung

1
Kürzlich, Kunwei (Beijing) Technology Co, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Kunwei Technology”) has completed its Series B financing, with investors including Xiaomi Production Investment, Sunny Industry Fund, Shenzhen Venture Capital, Hillhouse Venture Capital, and Minghui. The newly added funds will mainly be used for the research and development of new product lines, the construction of intelligent production lines, and market promotion.

Über uns

Kunwei Kunwei Technology was established in 2018 and is a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to providing high-precision machine force sensors (six axis force sensors) and force control solutions. The company’s main business is the research and development, manufacturing, sales, and technology promotion of intelligent force sensors. It develops force sensor products for the robot and other intelligent equipment industry, providing force measurement solutions and related products for the fields of robots and other intelligent equipment, industrial process monitoring, product quality inspection, scientific research testing and measurement.

 

Inheriting Aerospace Technology | Creating Excellent R&D Strength

 

2
From a technical perspective, the founding team of Kunwei-Technologie all come from aerospace research institutions and have been engaged in the research and development, production, and application of intelligent multi dimensional force sensors for nearly 20 years. They have mastered the core technology of force measurement and possess independent intellectual property rights. By innovating in mature aerospace technology and combining it with machine learning technology, Kunwei Technology has broken the long-term monopoly of overseas companies in the field of high-end six axis force sensors with its independently developed intelligent six axis force sensor products, and has been deeply rooted in the six axis force sensing fields of collaborative robots, industrial robots, and humanoid robots for six years.

On April 1, 2024, the national standard GB/T 43199-2023 “Specification for Detection of Multi dimensional Force/Torque Sensors for Robots” (hereinafter referred to as the “Specification”), mainly drafted by Kunwei Technology, was officially implemented. The “Specification” specifies the detection conditions for multi-dimensional force/torque sensors of robots and describes the detection methods for general and special performance. This means that the detection and evaluation of robot force sensors in China will move towards standardization and normalization, and the rating of core technical indicators for six dimensional force sensors will no longer be confined to the old one-dimensional force indicators. Customers will also have reference standards for the selection of six dimensional force sensors.

 

Improment of Products matrix |Wide Range of Applications

4
From a product perspective, after six years of research and accumulation, Kunwei Technology currently has a rich and reliable product matrix including six axis force sensors, joint torque sensors, single axis force sensors, high-precision data acquisition modules, and motion force plates. It can basically cover the application scenarios of collaborative robots, small load six axis industrial robots, and humanoid robots, and has been widely used in many fields. Especially in the field of collaborative robot end accessories, Kunwei’s six dimensional force sensor products have ranked among the top in terms of market share. In the past two years, Kunwei has established business cooperation with leading domestic companies in the field of humanoid robots. Some force sensing sensor products suitable for humanoid robots have been mass-produced and exported to North America.

In addition, the demand for the application of its six axis force sensor products is gradually increasing in many fields such as healthcare, sports health, and flexible polishing.

 

Self-developed Calibration & Testing System | Significant Mass Production Capability

Since its establishment, Kunwei has invested millions of yuan to build and continuously improve multiple sets of fully automatic six axis joint calibration and detection systems. This system is not only a tool for training sensor decoupling algorithms, but also a key equipment for achieving large-scale high-efficiency production and multi axis dynamic detection. At present, Kunwei’s automatic six axis joint calibration and detection system has an annual production capacity of 15000 units.

6
From the perspective of market size, according to data from GGII, the Chinese market for six dimensional force/torque sensors is expected to exceed 1.5 billion yuan by 2027, with a compound growth rate of over 45%; Sales are expected to exceed 84000 sets, with a compound annual growth rate of over 60%, among which the robot industry is expected to exceed 42000 sets of sales. After this round of financing, Kunwei will continue to build a calibration capacity of 30000 units per year on the basis of its existing 15000 units per year. This means that Kunwei Technology has the ability to meet the vast majority of the domestic market’s demand for six axis force sensors and help the industry develop.

 

B Round Financing Secured | Injecting Strong Momentum.

7
In less than a year since Inovance, Sanhua Intelligent Control, Bochang Industrial Fund, and Minghui InvestmentXiaomi, Sunny, Shenzhen Venture Capital, and Hillhouse Venture Capital have quickly followed suit to invest in Kunwei Technology. Minghui continues to increase its investment, fully reflecting the broad development prospects of the machine vision track and the recognition of Kunwei by industrial capital. With the confirmation of a new round of financing, Kunwei Technology’s development has also been injected with strong momentum. The company will continue to increase investment in technology research and development, innovate continuously, better address customer pain points, and provide greater added value to customers.
