New Domestic AMR Model | First Exhibition in Kanto: ASPINA to Showcase 150kg-Capable Slim AMR at Techno Frontier 2026

ASPINA (Shinano Kenshi Co., Ltd., headquarters: Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture; President & CEO: Yukihiko Kaneko; hereinafter "ASPINA") will exhibit at Techno Frontier 2026 from Wednesday, July 15 to Friday, July 17, 2026.

Centered on the keywords "automation" and "labor-saving," ASPINA will showcase autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for manufacturing sites and electric robot hands for collaborative robots, proposing practical solutions to address specific challenges in manufacturing environments. We welcome you to visit the ASPINA booth during this event.

Exhibition Highlights

Autonomous Mobile Robot for Manufacturing Sites 'AspinaAMR'

AspinaAMR is a domestically produced AMR designed to work alongside workers in manufacturing environments. It features easy deployment ideal for small-scale implementation and flexible scalability. The robot autonomously navigates by exploring routes while avoiding people and obstacles. Its compact design allows operation in narrow aisles, eliminating the need for facility layout modifications. Operation is simplified with QR code destination input, supporting automated inter-line component transport and finished product handling—addressing labor shortages in manufacturing. All models include the AMR unit, operation software, and manual charger, enabling immediate transport operations with minimal setup.

At this exhibition, live demonstrations will feature the new 'AspinaAMR150L' model, while 'AspinaAMR100/85L' and 'AspinaAMR300/300L' models will demonstrate material handover and transport operations in coordination with equipment.

New Product: 'AspinaAMR150L'

The 'AspinaAMR150L' is a lift-equipped autonomous mobile robot capable of automating trolley-based material transport in narrow aisles.

Its slim design enables operation in 800mm-wide aisles even when carrying trolleys or shelves (minimum aisle width of 640mm for the robot body alone), with a payload capacity of 150kg. The compact body facilitates smooth passage and intersection in corridors, allowing integration into existing workflows without major changes to site traffic flow.

Since its announcement on June 2, 2026, Techno Frontier 2026 marks the first public exhibition of this model in the Kanto region. *Mass production and order acceptance are scheduled to begin in August 2026.

AspinaAMR100/85L

The 'AspinaAMR100' is an autonomous mobile robot designed to work alongside manufacturing personnel. With a payload capacity of 100kg and a minimum operational aisle width of 800mm, it is ideal for customers seeking to implement AMRs on a small scale.

The 'AspinaAMR85L' features a lift function, enabling the AMR to automatically pick up and transport loads, further advancing automation (payload: 85kg; minimum aisle width: 800mm for robot body only).

AspinaAMR300/300L

The 'AspinaAMR300' is a manufacturing-focused AMR with a 300kg payload capacity. It enables easy automated transport of heavy components over 100kg, which are difficult to move manually with trolleys. Despite the increased payload, it maintains a minimum operational aisle width of 800mm, allowing it to navigate corridors as narrow as those accessible to the AspinaAMR100.

The 'AspinaAMR300L' includes a lift function, enabling the AMR to automatically pick up loads and further enhance transport automation (payload: 300kg; minimum aisle width: 800mm for robot body only).

Electric Robot Hand for Collaborative Robots

This end-effector (gripper) for collaborative robots securely and gently grasps objects like a human hand.

Equipped with an Auto-Grip function that automatically adjusts grip force and position for different shapes and material hardness, it enables a single robot to handle multiple workpieces in pick-and-place operations—ideal for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments.

Available in a 3-finger model for round objects and a 2-finger model for rectangular workpieces, it contributes to solving labor shortages by automating and reducing manpower in picking operations.
