LINCINCO releases a window robot that finds the frame

The Dongguan company has put out a machine that checks the glass edge 30 times a second, holds on with two fans, and cleans faster than a typical window robot.

DONGGUAN, 6 August 2026 — Dongguan Lingxin Intelligent Technology has released LINCINCO, a robot that sticks to a window and wipes it. The machine finds where the glass ends, instead of only guessing with a gyroscope. Two fans and a safety rope keep it from falling.

Cheaper robots often leave a dirty strip along the frame, because they are only guessing where the glass stops. LINCINCO uses a camera, plus sensors that listen for the edge and look for it, and checks that edge 30 times a second. It wipes in a zigzag. If the glass is very dirty, it slows down and sprays more water. If it has cleaned the same window before, the next clean can be about a quarter faster.

Two fans suck the robot onto the pane. Together they reach 3,200 pascals of suction. When the robot is not moving, that is about the same as holding 6 to 8 kilograms. If one fan is blocked, the other keeps holding. A sensor speeds the fans up when the robot crosses a thick frame. For thicker glass, or for outdoor windows, buyers can add a magnetic frame. If the suction fails, three backups catch it: a spare battery, a rope rated for 50 kilograms, and a sensor that sticks the robot back on within a fifth of a second. The wiping pad spins between 1,200 and 3,000 times a minute. Letting that speed change uses about 18 percent less battery than a pad locked at one speed. The body takes splashes and dust. The rubber seal has been through more than 500 washes without coming loose.

On the model with four spray nozzles, it cleans 1.2 to 1.8 square metres a minute. A typical machine does 0.8 to 1.2. Suction is 2,600 to 3,200 pascals, against 2,000 to 2,800. A full charge lasts 40 to 55 minutes, and the robot heads back when 15 percent of the battery is left. A typical machine lasts 30 to 45 minutes. The robot is meant for glass from 5 to 24 millimetres thick, or up to 34 millimetres with the magnetic frame. The usual range is 6 to 20.

The company started in 2018. It runs two factories: about 50,000 square metres in Dongguan, and about 25,000 square metres in Hengyang, in Hunan. More than 600 people work there. It has its own workshop for making moulds, and the room to build five million machines a year. That count includes window robots, vacuum cleaners, and pool cleaners. A research team of more than 65 people holds more than 100 patents. The window robots carry the European CE and RoHS marks, which cover radio safety and materials that are not allowed. A shop that wants to sell the robot under its own name can change the colour, the logo, the box, and the phone app.

Dongguan Lingxin Intelligent Technology has released LINCINCO, a robot that sticks to a window and wipes it. Cheaper machines often miss the frame because they only guess where the glass ends. This one uses a camera and sensors, checks the frame 30 times a second, and wipes in a zigzag. On a very dirty window it slows down and sprays more water. If it has cleaned the same window before, the next clean can be about a quarter faster.

Two fans hold it on the glass, at up to 3,200 pascals, about the weight of 6 to 8 kilograms when the robot is still. A safety rope, a spare battery, and a drop sensor catch it within a fifth of a second if the suction slips. It cleans 1.2 to 1.8 square metres a minute, runs 40 to 55 minutes on a charge, and handles glass up to 34 millimetres thick with a magnetic frame.

The company started in 2018, with factories in Dongguan and Hengyang, and more than 600 people. The window robots carry the European CE and RoHS marks. Shops that want to sell the robot under their own name can change the colour, the logo, the box, and the phone app.
