Application solution
Medical Equipment Motion Control
Medical imaging equipment OEMs and integrators building MRI, CT, DR, and SPECT systems — gantry rotation, hospital bed positioning, detector column motion, with stringent certification and lifecycle requirements.
Motion control for medical imaging — <em>MRI / CT / DR / SPECT</em> gantry, bed, and column actuation. Kinco is the No.1 domestic motion control supplier to China's medical imaging industry, with a <em>0.1% field failure rate</em> (vs ~0.3% industry typical), <em>15+ years of partnership with Siemens and United Imaging</em>, and component lifecycle commitments of <em>10-year supply + 10-year maintenance</em>.
The application demands · what we engineer
CT Gantry Motion
- Belt drive (low cost, mechanical complexity, slippage risk) vs Direct drive (better accuracy, faster <0.25s, higher cost)
- Low-end CT: JD430 + SMH incremental encoder motor
- Mid-range CT: JD620 + SMH absolute encoder motor
Hospital Bed & Column
- MRI bed: OD124S compact drive + SMH motor (space-constrained installations)
- DR column: FD114-CS-000 drive + integrated Maxon/Dunker motor+reducer + TUI 2.0 HMI
- Brushed motor servo control for precise position retention
SPECT & Other
- SPECT gantry: JD620 + SMH motor (or JD620 + frameless direct drive)
- Auxiliary axes: iSMD series integrated servo for compactness
- EtherCAT trend across new high-end installations

Candidate BOM, subject to engineering review. Kinco performance and installed-base figures reflect the manufacturer's product portfolio. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.
What we engineered & validated
Tier-based BOM selection: Low-end (JD430+incremental) / Mid-range (JD620+absolute) / High-end (JD640+absolute).
Direct drive (frameless) recommended for new high-end designs requiring sub-0.25s gantry positioning.
Medical-grade EMC compliance per EN 61000-3 mandatory for installed environments
Replacing imported European/Japanese motion stacks requires re-validation of dynamic motion profile, EMC immunity, and post-failure behavior per medical device QMS.

Frequently asked
What is the field failure rate of Kinco medical drives?
Per Kinco's published 2026 Medical Industry material, the JD series drives have a field failure rate of 0.1%, compared with ~0.3% typical for similar products. Sustained at scale across multiple years of shipments to medical OEMs (source: Kinco 2026 Kinco Medical Industry ENV1.0).
Which medical OEMs has Kinco partnered with?
Kinco's published material identifies Siemens and United Imaging as long-term partners, with 15+ years of cooperation as a preferred supplier (source: Kinco 2026 Medical Industry Solutions). Specific equipment platforms and end-product names are subject to OEM disclosure agreements.
How does the 10-year lifecycle commitment affect spare parts strategy?
Kinco commits to 10 years of active product life + 10 years of maintenance/repair availability per their published material. This aligns with medical device service-life expectations and reduces spare-parts forecasting risk for equipment owners. Specific spares plan should be confirmed via Kinco contractual terms.
What we are
An independent engineering & sourcing partner. We architect the medical stack, select and integrate the BOM across supplier lines, and validate the system before you commit.
Where it does not fit
Class III implantable or life-support equipment requiring extreme safety qualification Component certifications are per datasheet; system-level certification of your finished machine remains the integrator's responsibility, subject to engineering review.
How this solution is delivered
You describe the application, program or BOM; we confirm what the service covers — and what it does not.
An engineer reviews materials against our supplied lines and flags risks and limits.
You receive a scoped work plan with deliverables and boundaries — before any commitment.
Work is delivered against the agreed scope, with documentation and hand-off.
