True to our claim “strong, fast, simple”, we develop and produce uniquely efficient industrial collaborative lightweight robots with 7 axes. Despite their large reach, Kassow Robots are extremely powerful, fast and suitable for use in small spaces. What is more, they enable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to achieve complex automation and programming flexibly, independently and cost-effectively. Our technology is based on a novel design of both robot controller, user interface and arm mechanics. It has been developed by a team lead by Kristian Kassow, who, in his previous start-up years ago, was also responsible for other ground-breaking designs in the field of robotics.
Our vision is to offer a wide range of models to help all manufacturing companies, SMEs in particular produce even more competitively using cobots in a multitude of ways.
7 AXES FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY AND LOWER COSTS
All Kassow robots are “lightweight articulated robots” – i.e. robots with a single arm and rotating joints. Depending on a risk analysis, they can be used directly in industrial production with minimal or even no additional safety measures.
What makes our robots special: Unlike other robot manufacturers, whose portfolios usually feature only six-axis models, we exclusively make robots with 7 fully controlled axes. These 7 axes give you much more flexibility, as they enable our robot arms to far better replicate the movement of a real human arm.
This means that Kassow robots can not only move an object in a straight line from A to B, but can also follow a curved path at a specified speed. This offers real advantages, for instance when it comes to tasks such as welding, painting and gluing, or where particular manoeuvrability is required (e.g. when loading machining centres in confined spaces).
MODERN INDUSTRY IS A MATTER OF COLLABORATION
“Nothing is impossible” could almost be our motto when it comes to the applications for our cobots – the pictograms below give just six examples. Even when it comes to complex specialized tasks, there are barely any limits. In adhesive applications, for example, our cobot follows an exact path, maintaining the specified speed whatever the type of movement involved.
Have a look, where our Cobots are already in use: CASES
What’s special about the seventh axis of our cobot is that it allows the cobot of Kassow Robots to reach around corners the way an arm would. The following demonstration at the “all about automation” trade fair (application iodinated by 314 Automation GmbH, formerly: Pi-Robotics) showed the loading and unloading of work pieces for measuring quality control:
