Peitian Robotics at a Glance
Fact | Detail |
Company | Beijing Peitian Technology Co., Ltd., trading as Peitian Robotics |
Country | China |
Development centers | Beijing, Shenzhen and Anhui |
Experience | More than twelve years of development, as of 2023 |
Products | Six-axis robots, SCARA robots, desktop robots and automation systems |
Strategic investor | JingCheng Machinery Electronic Holdings, since early 2023 |
Named customers | Foxconn and Samsung |
Position
Peitian describes itself as a supplier of domestic mid-range and high-end industrial robots and of integrated automation solutions. The emphasis on domestic is deliberate: its argument to Chinese customers is that it can replace imported robots, because it controls the core technology itself.
Products
Line | Range |
Six-axis industrial robots | Payloads from a few kilograms to 280 kg |
Four-axis SCARA robots | Payloads of 3 kg to 20 kg |
Desktop robots | Six models, from the AIR3-560 to the AIR10-1210 |
Flexible manufacturing equipment and systems | Complete cells and lines |
Services | Repair, technical support and training |
The payload range has grown over time. A report of April 2023 gave it as 3 kg to 165 kg; later in 2023 the company launched a six-axis robot with a higher payload and long reach, and its own exhibition material then gave the range as 4 kg to 280 kg.
Notable models
AIR12-940 and AIR10-1210: fast desktop-size robots released in 2022.
AIR12-2000HI: a robot for laying out photovoltaic cells, also from 2022.
Arc welding workstation: a ready-made welding cell.
Planned: specialized models for palletizing, grinding, welding and bending, and versions with high protection ratings.
Applications
Palletizing, laser processing, machine tool loading and unloading, welding, cutting, grinding and polishing, gluing and sealing, assembly and labeling. The desktop robots are used for loading and unloading, handling of multilayer circuit boards and photovoltaic parts, and grinding in consumer electronics and lithium battery production.
Technology
Peitian develops its control systems, servo drives and servo motors itself, together with the core software and algorithms, and says it has achieved complete independence in software and hardware. It measures itself against ABB and FANUC on positioning accuracy and cycle performance. In-house control of these components is unusual among smaller robot makers, most of which buy controllers and drives from specialist suppliers.
Investor
At the beginning of 2023 Peitian received a strategic investment from JingCheng Machinery Electronic Holdings, which describes it as a key investment project. The amount was not disclosed.
