Kassow Robots, a developer of 7-axis robot and cobot solutions for material handling and other applications, has introduced the KR1805 industrial cobot. The 7-axis KR1805 has a payload of 5 kg and a reach of 1800 mm, making it suitable for completing precise and repetitive industrial tasks that require long reach, such as pick-and-place tasks.
The 7th axis, or “wrist joint,” enables continuous dispensing, welding and material removal applications, regardless of access angle, without the need to reorient the arm. The 7th axis also gives the KR1805 a small footprint (160 x 160 mm), and an increased range of motion to perform such tasks as bin picking or packaging tasks such as labeling.
The safety-compliant design allows the KR1805 to share a workspace with humans following a safety check at the site where the solution will be implemented.
