FLEXIBILITY AND SAFETY OF 7-AXIS COBOTS IDEAL FOR THE NEEDS OF PROJECT GROUP`S CUSTOMERS
Kastrup/Copenhagen · Kranenburg/Germany, June 13, 2018 · Even before the Automatica trade fair has opened its doors, Kassow Robots is able to present the German Project Group as its first partner for system integration. This medium-sized company, headquartered in Kranenburg near the German town of Düsseldorf, specialises in the entire field of final packaging, equipment servicing and peripheral areas. See project-ae.com.
“We are delighted to announce that the Project Group became the first system integration partner for Kassow Robots at the beginning of this week”, say Kristian Kassow, CEO, and Dieter Pletscher, Head of Sales. “It proofs that the power and flexibility of our 7-axis cobots open up exciting new opportunities also for SMEs in the area of man-machine collaboration.”
Johannes Jansen, Managing Director of the Project Group, adds: “The cobots developed by Kassow Robots have impressed us with their flexibility and safety – qualities we urgently require when helping our customers in the packaging industry to meet their automation challenges.” He is referring to Kassow Robots’ 7-axis robots with joint speeds of up to 225 degrees per second. In combination with their high payloads and extensive reach, they provide a “complete technical package that allows us to operate as system integrator even in completely new customer segments”. The fact that the collaborative robots from Kassow Robots require few or no special safety measures – subject to a risk assessment – is a further advantage for end-customers. Jansen can identify a broad range of potential applications for medium-sized companies – from pick & place, palletising, pallet labelling and loading of production machines right through to tasks in the co-packing area.

At Automatica, which runs from June 19 to 22, 2018, in Munich, Kassow Robots will present three cobots at Booth A420 in Hall B4: the KR 810 (reach 850 mm, payload 10 kg) , KR 1205 (reach 1200 mm, payload 5 kg) and KR 1805 (reach 1800mm, payload 5 kg). The Danish start-up's first two models – KR 810 and KR 1205 – are now entering production. They will be followed by the KR 1805 at the end of 2018.
