Technology & Products
Key Products
Elfin Series (6-axis collaborative robots, 3-35kg payload); Elfin-Pro Series (advanced cobots with enhanced precision); S Series (heavy-load cobots up to 60kg); Elfin-Ex (explosion-proof cobots); Echo/HY Series (7-axis humanoid arm); Humanoid Joint Module (universal humanoid joint module); Elfin-Li/S-Li (lithium battery edition cobots); Core motion components (frameless torque motors, servo drives, joint modules, precision motion platforms)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary dual-joint module design with EtherCAT bus communication at 10KHz control frequency; repeatability up to ±0.015mm; end-effector speed up to 8.5m/s; full-stack in-house core components (frameless torque motors, servo drives, controllers); axial flux motor technology (2026); Meta series high-performance frameless torque motors (2025).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Full-stack self-developed collaborative robots with proprietary core motion components (motors, servo drives, controllers), enabling high precision (±0.015mm repeatability), competitive pricing vs international brands, and flexible deployment across diverse industrial applications.
How They Differentiate
Differentiates through full-stack vertical integration (proprietary motors, servo drives, controllers, and joint modules), heavy-load cobot capabilities (S series up to 60kg), and being the only top Chinese cobot maker that sells core motion components externally to third-party customers including humanoid robot developers.
