New 7-axis cobots

The Danish startup's portfolio now includes four 7-axis cobots: the KR 810 (reach 850mm, payload 10kg) and KR 1205 (1200mm, 5kg), both introduced in 2019; and the two new models, KR 1805 (1800mm, 5 kg) and KR 1410 (1400mm, 10kg).

“Strong, fast, simple – this has been our mission since we first introduced our company two years ago. All four models offer a unique combination of power and speed and are easy to operate. When it comes to reach, the KR1805 is king with its 1.80-metre arm. We are proud to be able to offer industrial customers this added value,” says Dieter Pletscher, Head of Sales at Kassow Robots.

“After first presenting our company in 2018 and introducing the first two models in 2019, we can now offer a strong product family of four cobots. For small and medium-sized enterprises, they are a strong, cost-efficient cobot package with almost infinite potential applications,” says Kristian Kassow, founder and CEO of Kassow Robots.

Pletscher adds: “For SMEs, introducing or expanding the use of lightweight robotics solutions now really pays off. What is more, the cobots are programmed on an intuitive, user-friendly device, just like the tablets we all use at home.”

The cobots all have three ports, including a data/Ethernet connection to enable easy working

Kassow fits all four cobot models with three ports as standard, with various I/Os and power supply signals. Two of the ports are for digital or analogue input/output. The third port enables a direct data/Ethernet connection with the controller. This way, customers can, for example, connect camera solutions or Modbus TCP directly to the robot via the intelligent end-of-arm tool interface. This means that the cable does not have to run along the robot arm externally. All cobots from the Danish manufacturer have an end-of-arm tool with a free drive button, making it easy to program waypoints.
