7-Axis Cobot with a Controller integrated into the Base
With its Edge Edition, Kassow Robots claims to be launching the world's first 7-axis cobot series with a controller integrated into the base. According to the company it offers greater flexibility for mobile solutions and additional space savings for cramped facilities.
All five of the 7-axis cobots are now available in two versions: the classic variant with a separate controller, and the Edge Edition. According to the company the engineering team have succeeded in miniaturizing the controller so that it now occupies around 10% of the volume of the external controller. The footprint of the Edge edition’s base is measuring 160 by 200 mm. These cobot models are powered by direct current, meaning that they can be directly connected to any DC power supply, for example a battery of mobile robots. There are also 60 IO connections.
»The Edge Edition of our 7-axis cobots is a world first, enabling industrial customers to take a quantum leap in terms of flexible automation. Integrating the controller into the robot’s base delivers additional space savings and simplifies integration at the same time. The Edge Edition is ideal for simplifying mobile cobot applications—not least because it can be connected directly to the power supply of AGVs or AMRs. These mobile solutions hold tremendous potential for industrial automation,« says Kristian Kassow, founder and CEO of Kassow Robots. The five 7-axis cobot models were launched in 2019 and 2020. Companies that cannot expand or reconfigure their production facilities also benefit from the capabilities offered both by the Edge Edition and the five existing 7-axis cobots. Kassow Robots believes that these are especially useful for established SMEs with no additional production space that would prefer to avoid the costs of expansion.
