On March 9, 2022, Qicheng reached a deep strategic cooperation with Estun, a leading domestic industrial robot company. Estun formally made a strategic investment in Qicheng and the two sides established the Qicheng-Estun Robot Stamping R&D Center, marking a new level for Qicheng in core stamping automation technology and high-end robot applications.
As a domestic industrial robot leader, Estun has a complete system for robot core components, motion control and intelligent equipment R&D and manufacturing, and serves as an industry benchmark and leading platform. The strategic investment and joint R&D center reflect strong recognition of Qicheng's technical depth, application capability and market reputation in stamping automation.
Focusing on intelligent stamping, the new center combines both sides' strengths: Estun's full robot technology platform and Qicheng's years of turnkey stamping automation, custom engineering and on-site experience. It targets robot adaptation for stamping, intelligent line iteration and high-speed automation upgrades to solve high-precision, high-cycle and high-stability production challenges.
The partnership deeply integrates leading robot technology with vertical stamping expertise, filling technology gaps in the segment. Going forward, the center will drive intelligent stamping upgrades, accelerate commercialization of frontier technologies and deliver more fitting automatic solutions, supporting efficient, intelligent and high-end manufacturing and creating a benchmark for robot stamping automation in China.
