AspinaAMR Slim Lift AMR Series

Shinano Kenshi Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1918 and headquartered in Ueda, Nagano, which markets its robotics business under the ASPINA brand. Its AspinaAMR series targets the automation of cart transport between production processes in factories.

The lineup of lift-type autonomous mobile robots (AspinaAMR 85L, 150L and 300L) slides under carts or shelves and lifts them. The 150L measures 500 x 750 x 280 mm, carries 150 kg, and can run in 800 mm aisles while loaded with a 660 mm-wide cart. All models share one operation app, and the robots connect with PLCs common in Japanese factories and optional elevator or peripheral equipment.

• Slim lift body: 500 x 750 x 280 mm, 640 mm minimum aisle width for the body alone.
• Payload: 150 kg for the 150L, with 85L and 300L models for other loads.
• Cart transport: carries 660 mm-wide carts or shelves through 800 mm aisles.
• Runtime: about 6 hours continuous with about 1 hour charging, top speed 3.6 km/h.
• Integration: PLC compatibility plus custom elevator and peripheral options.
• Shared operation app: one interface across the whole AspinaAMR series.

Moving work-in-process carts between assembly stations in electronics and mechanical plants. Shuttling parts shelves from small warehouses to production lines through narrow aisles. Replacing manually pushed carts in multi-floor plants using elevator integration.

Existing cart routes can be automated without widening aisles or changing layouts. Speed and acceleration are tuned for smooth movement near workers. Deployment can start with a few processes and expand, with a shared app across models. Pre-deployment training and maintenance plans are offered with domestic support.

Manufacturers in Asia face labor shortages and need to automate in-plant cart transport without rebuilding narrow, legacy layouts. Slim lift AMRs that fit existing cart routes suit electronics and component plants in Vietnam, where many factories operate in tight floor space.

Shinano Kenshi was founded in 1918 and is headquartered in Ueda, Nagano, Japan. AspinaAMR150L was first shown at ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN 2026 (Aichi Sky Expo, June 11-13, 2026), with orders opening in August 2026.
