Kassow Robots are advanced 7-axis collaborative robots (cobots) designed to deliver exceptional flexibility, reach and precision across a wide range of industrial applications. The additional axis provides a significantly greater range of motion compared to traditional 6-axis robots, enabling access to confined or hard-to-reach areas while maintaining smooth, coordinated movement. With increased payload capacity and high positional accuracy, Kassow cobots are well suited to both heavy-duty handling and delicate, precision-critical tasks.
Kassow cobots incorporate advanced, sensor-based safety functionality, including continuous monitoring for overload and collision conditions. This allows safe human-robot collaboration without the need for complex guarding in many applications, subject to a full machine and application-specific risk assessment. CCS Technology provides complete safety analysis and compliance support as part of our robotic system delivery.
Vision Inspection
Using a Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot combined with a vision system provides a flexible and reliable solution for in-line quality inspection of manual assembly operations. The robot’s extended reach and freedom of movement allow the vision system to inspect complex features from optimal angles, ensuring assemblies are completed correctly and consistently. This approach improves quality, reduces human error, and enables automated inspection and data capture while safely operating alongside production personnel.
Palletising
A Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot provides an efficient and flexible solution for end-of-line palletising operations. Its extended reach and high payload capability allow it to handle a wide variety of products and pallet patterns within a compact footprint, even in constrained spaces. Operating safely alongside personnel, a Kassow cobot can automate repetitive lifting tasks, improve consistency, reduce manual handling risks, and easily adapt to changing product formats or production requirements.
Welding
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot is well suited to repetitive welding tasks in fabrication and sheet metal working applications. The additional axis enables smooth, precise torch positioning and consistent weld paths, even around complex geometries and tight access areas. By automating repetitive welding operations, a Kassow cobot improves weld quality and repeatability, reduces operator fatigue, and increases productivity, while safely working alongside skilled personnel where appropriate.
Fixing/Fastening
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot delivers precise and consistent performance for repetitive fixing and screwing tasks. Its accuracy ensures every fastener is applied correctly, enhancing product quality and reliability. Automating these operations increases assembly speed, reduces operator fatigue, and allows rapid adaptation to different screw types, torque requirements, and production layouts.
Packing
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot efficiently automates end-of-line packing tasks, handling products of varying shapes and sizes with precision. Its extended reach and flexibility enable careful placement into boxes or containers, improving consistency and reducing product damage. By taking over repetitive packing operations, the cobot increases throughput, supports safe operation alongside staff, and easily adapts to changing packaging formats.
Pick & Place
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot provides reliable automation for pick-and-place and assembly processes on production lines. Its agile, multi-axis design enables it to handle components of varying sizes and shapes with accuracy and repeatability. By integrating the cobot into assembly workflows, manufacturers can reduce manual handling, maintain consistent quality, and quickly reconfigure the system for different products or assembly steps.
Label Application
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot offers precise and efficient automation for labelling products, cartons, and palletised goods. Its flexibility and extended reach allow it to apply labels accurately across a variety of surfaces and orientations, ensuring consistent placement every time. Automating labelling tasks improves production speed, reduces human error, and provides the adaptability to handle different product sizes and packaging formats with minimal reconfiguration.
Spraying & Dispensing
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot provides reliable automation for spraying and dispensing processes, ensuring accurate and consistent application every time. Its agile design and extended reach allow it to navigate complex contours and confined spaces, delivering precise coverage while reducing overspray or waste. By automating these tasks, manufacturers can improve product quality, enhance operational safety, and increase production efficiency.
Machine Tending
The Kassow 7-axis collaborative robot is ideal for CNC machine tending, efficiently loading raw materials into machines and unloading finished parts. Its precision and flexibility allow safe, reliable handling of components, even in confined spaces or complex setups. Automating machine tending increases production throughput, reduces operator fatigue, and ensures consistent handling, while allowing staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
CCS Technology is a UK distributor and systems integrator for Kassow collaborative robots, supplying and integrating these platforms into fully engineered turnkey robotic cells. We support customers from initial concept and risk assessment through mechanical design, control system integration, installation and commissioning. Kassow cobots are ideally suited to automating repetitive, ergonomically challenging, hazardous or contamination-prone processes, while still allowing safe operation in shared workspaces when correctly assessed and implemented.
A key feature of Kassow Robots is their intuitive, tablet-based user interface, built on the Android operating system. The modern graphical environment enables fast deployment and straightforward application development using block-based programming, split-screen operation and integrated 3D visualisation. This approach reduces programming time and allows operators and engineers to quickly adapt robotic processes to changing production requirements.
Kassow’s modular ecosystem further enhances system flexibility, supporting the easy integration of end-of-arm tooling, vision systems and functional extensions. Capability Bundles (Cbuns) provide pre-engineered interfaces for popular peripherals including OnRobot, Robotiq, Pickit and SICK, with real-time performance and full access to robot APIs. Custom Cbun development is also supported, enabling CCS Technology to deliver highly tailored robotic solutions for specialist applications.
By combining Kassow collaborative robots with our in-house expertise in PLC, CNC and PC-based control systems, CCS Technology delivers fully integrated, reliable and future-proof robotic automation solutions for the UK market.
