The Danish start-up Kassow Robots, whose motto is “strong, fast, simple,” has been developing uniquely efficient 7‑axis industrial lightweight robots since it was founded in 2014. The robots are fast and powerful, and are suitable for use in small spaces. The robots’ user-friendly interface provides businesses with greater flexibility: SMEs without their own robotics specialists can now achieve complex automation and programming cost-effectively and independently.
“I’ve never lost my passion for robotics and the start-up spirit,” says Kristian Kassow. Back in 2004, Kassow co-founded another robotics company, today one of the world’s market leaders. “We are now set to launch Kassow Robots and are showcasing our 7‑axis robots with joint speeds of up to 225 degrees per second for the first time. Our cobots have a combination of qualities that make them strong and unique.”
The vision of the three founders is to offer a broad range of cobot models that help industry, and especially SMEs, produce even more competitively. The start-up therefore plans to gradually establish a network of system integrators and anticipates a wealth of applications for its products. “It will ultimately be up to system integrators and end customers to decide how and where to use our cobots. Some of the traditional applications we have in mind are loading and unloading machinery (for example in metalworking), pick & place, palletising, small assembly tasks, testing, quality control and adhesive applica-tions,” says Dieter Pletscher, Head of Sales.
