Application solution
Mobile Handling Robot Motion Stack
AGV/AMR OEMs and integrators building compact mobile platforms with 50KG–2T payload, requiring integrated drive wheels, lifting/rotary modules, and CE/UL/STO certified components.
Integrated motion control modules for <em>50KG–2T payload AGV/AMR platforms</em>. Kinco's <em>iWMC walking servo wheels</em> fuse drive + motor + reducer + wheel into a single unit, reducing installation space by 35%. Paired with <em>iGMK lifting/rotary modules</em> (30%+ smaller than traditional), embedded HMI, and EdgeAccess2 remote ops with OTA support.
The application demands · what we engineer
Drive Integration
- Walking servo wheel with integrated drive, motor, reducer (iWMC family)
- CANopen DS402 or EtherCAT CoE communication
- Encoder feedback for closed-loop position and torque
Mechanical Modules
- Rotary module for chassis rotation (iGMK)
- Lifting module for jack-up / cargo transfer (iGMK)
- Embedded HMI with internal cable routing
Platform & Safety
- EdgeAccess2 remote ops with OTA firmware push
- STO Safe Torque Off per ISO 13849-1
- Battery, BMS, and charging interface (24V/48V depending on payload)
System architecture
Controller → AGV / AMR components over a shared control / motion bus. Derived from the recommended BOM.

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
iWMC model selection driven by payload, max speed, gradient, floor surface, and turning style (differential vs omni).
iGMK module count depends on chassis kinematics: 4 driving + 4 steering for omni, 2 driving for differential.
CAN bus shielded with 120 Ω termination at both ends
Existing AGV designs using separate motor + drive + reducer require mechanical re-design for integrated wheels.

Frequently asked
What payload range does the iWMC integrated wheel cover?
Kinco's mobile handling motion module solution is designed for 50KG–2T payload AGV/AMR platforms (source: Kinco mobile-handling one-pager, 2026). Specific payload depends on the chosen iWMC model — torque, wheel diameter, gradient, and duty cycle all affect practical limits.
How much chassis space is actually saved compared with traditional split designs?
Per Kinco's published material, integrated walking servo wheels reduce installation space by approximately 35%, and integrated rotary/lifting modules reduce footprint by 30%+ versus discrete reducer-motor-drive assemblies. Site-specific savings depend on existing layout.
Are these components certified for export markets?
Kinco's iWMC and related modules carry CE, UL, STO, and Functional Safety certifications per their product datasheets. Component-level certifications do not automatically certify the integrator's complete AGV/AMR — system-level CE/UL is the integrator's responsibility.
What we are
An independent engineering & sourcing partner. We architect the agv / amr stack, select and integrate the BOM across supplier lines, and validate the system before you commit.
Where it does not fit
Heavy-duty applications outside integrated-wheel torque range 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.
