7-axis robots in action: At Automatica 2025, Kassow Robots is featuring a wide range of industrial applications with the Edge Edition and presenting its own new developments
In keeping with the motto “Developed for industry – Built to last – Always innovating,” Kassow Robots is coming to Automatica in Munich with more than ten applications in which 7-axis lightweight robots play an integral role in production tasks and logistics processes. In addition to solutions implemented with partner firms, the cobot manufacturer is also presenting striking new hardware and software developments.
Kassow Robots ApS will be presenting numerous industrial applications for production and logistics tasks at Automatica (June 24–27, 2025) that promise even greater efficiency and flexibility for industrial automation. The applications on display at booth B4.101 have been developed in close collaboration with partner companies and with firms from the KR Pulse Ecosystem. The company is also presenting its own new hardware and software developments.
“Developed for industry – Built to last – Always innovating.” The company’s motto for this year’s presentation at Automatica underscores the vision of founder and CEO of the company to satisfy industrial requirements with rugged, application-oriented technology. Kristian Kassow says: “Our goal is to help system integrators and their industrial customers rethink automation with practical solutions that will remain viable over the long term.” His words apply both to the robust aluminum construction of the 7-axis robots and to the development team’s rigorous focus on the specific requirements of industrial practice.
Two cobots with higher payload
Among the products making their debut at the trade fair will be the new robot models whose load capacities enter entirely new dimensions. Kassow Robots will reveal the precise technical details of these cobots at the Automatica trade show in Munich. Dieter Pletscher, Global Sales Manager for Kassow Robots, explains: “The new models will significantly expand the capabilities of 7-axis cobots in production and logistics.”
Sensitive robot arm with force sensors on all seven joints
For the very first time in Germany, Kassow Robots is presenting its new sensitive robot arm for precise applications. Developed for complex, contact-based tasks like surface processing, the model is equipped with optional force sensors on all seven joints. The integrated strain gauges make it possible to measure even the slightest levels of force, allowing for particularly sensitive interaction with the workpieces. The booth will feature a motorcycle fuel tank being polished as an example of the many things these robots can do. Visitors can observe how the robot is able to maintain a constant level of application pressure despite the irregular contours of the component. It is also able to recognize even the slightest surface deviations and react accordingly. Dieter Pletscher, Global Sales Manager at Kassow Robots, explains: “This ensures that even demanding processes can be performed precisely and reliably, again and again.”
Three different controller versions
Kassow Robots is also presenting new developments in the field of controllers. There will be three different controller versions in future. The external controller used today was redesigned, resulting in a 75 % reduction in size. This is advantageous for companies that are planning to implement stationary cobot solutions and which require compact controllers. As for the Edge Edition, everything will stay the same: The controller will continue to be fully integrated into the base of the robot.
Mobile all-in-one solution with the Edge Edition on the floor and ceiling
In the field of applications, Kassow Robots will be displaying a broad spectrum of industrial applications at the Automatica trade show. In collaboration with its partner companies Project S&P and Ceilix Technology GmbH, a mobile all-in-one solution featuring two Edge Edition models will be presented in Munich for the very first time. This coordinates two cobot arms, one of which is mounted on the floor, and the other on the ceiling. The concept offers excellent flexibility thanks to the controller being integrated into the robot’s base. As a result, it makes particularly efficient use of the available space.
Kassow Robots is working with Linak to showcase another example of flexible automation: Here, a lifting column makes it possible to vary the height of the robot.
A range of applications: welding, quality control, CNC and more
Kassow Robots also expects there to be strong interest from trade professionals in the applications it will be presenting alongside its partner firms from the KR Pulse ecosystem. These include a welding application with Kemppi, a quality control applications with Sensopart and 24 Vision, and a machine-tending solution with Made4CNC.
For the welding application with Kemppi, they will feature a realistic demonstration of how a 7-axis cobot can continuously perform welding seams, without discontinuation and while maintaining the same high level of precision. In collaboration with Sensopart, a cobot will be performing an automated quality control check of a children’s car. The solution with Made4CNC shows how a robot can be positioned alongside a CNC machine to operate this in combination with the Safedoor automated door-opening system.
Booth B4.101 will also be featuring other applications, including from the field of 3D bin picking with Photoneo, screwdriving with Spin Robotics, palletizing with Wepall, dosing with AIM Robotics, and optical quality control with 24 Vision. Kassow Robots will be supplementing this with a presentation of a selection of gripper solutions from prominent manufacturers at the KR Pulse Bar.
