ASPINA is the corporate brand of Shinano Kenshi, a Japanese motion-systems manufacturer established in 1918. It supplies motors, drivers, actuators and robotic grippers and also develops the AspinaAMR autonomous mobile-robot platform.
About
Shinano Kenshi operates under the ASPINA brand from Ueda, Japan, with manufacturing and sales operations across Asia, Europe and North America. Its engineering base spans compact motors, blowers, pumps, control electronics and mechatronic modules, giving the company a long-established position in precision motion rather than a single robotics niche.
For robot builders, ASPINA offers motors, drivers, actuators and grippers that can be integrated into joints and end effectors. The company has also moved downstream: it entered the collaborative-robot end-effector business in 2019 and later developed AspinaAMR, including the 150L model announced in 2026. Korthos keeps the profile component-led because motion systems remain the broader and more reusable robotics contribution.
