Hongming Electronics said its robotics business is primarily carried out through subsidiary Hongming Shuangxin and is still at an early stage. The subsidiary produces conventional machined structural and joint components; shipments this year have been strong. Hongming’s self‑developed frameless torque motors are supplied indirectly for humanoid robot joint modules, and some models have entered mass production and shipments. They are fitted on several leading domestic robot and joint‑module firms and some overseas customers and have won customer approval. Related revenue remains limited to overall sales and will be scaled up in line with customer introduction and ramp schedules.
