Bosch Rexroth (Bosch rexro, a factory automation company and announced its intention to acquire a majority stake in Kassow robots, the Danish company that develops and manufactures collaborative machine obots for industrial applications), has around 25 plants in Copenhagen and Prague (Czech Republic). Mingbo and Caso Robot signed their respective contracts on February 18, 2020. The parties agree to keep the purchase price confidential. The deal is subject to approval by the Antitrust Bureau. Kassow robots' lightweight robots can be used in a variety of ways in industrial production. Cobots have a high payload and reach, allowing them to be used in the tightest of spaces—the Kassow cobot has seven axes and can grab objects around corners like an arm—a flexibility unique to date on the market. Bosch Rexroth board member Marc Wucherer, who oversees factory automation and sales, said: "Cooperative industrial robots are another important part of the multifunctional factory of the future. There is a huge demand for flexible robotic systems. In the coming years, collaboration The robotics market is expected to grow at a rate of 15-20% per year. We hope to capitalize on this potential and expand our product portfolio with collaborative robots from Kassow robots. This will particularly benefit our customers in consumer goods and mobility, including battery manufacturing And Kristian Kassow, founder, CEO and co-owner of the semiconductor manufacturing company Kassow, explained: "With Bosch Rexroth, we have found a partner who is an international leader in factory automation and who can help us grow our business. This will allow us to open up new markets for our office robotics portfolio
The product range has grown to five cobot models since the first two cobot models were sold in 2019. They have a range of 850 to 1800 mm, a payload of 5 to 18 kg, and an angular velocity of up to 225 degrees per second. All models have seven axes for easy programming and use. The software provides a modular platform for easy integration of peripherals such as fixtures, vision systems or other custom functions
Founded in Copenhagen (Denmark), Kassow robots is developing and producing unique and efficient 7-axis lightweight collaborative robots for industrial applications. The company's motto is "Powerful, Fast, Simple". Its products offer speed and power, but also long range. The user-friendliness of collaborative robots offers businesses greater flexibility, enabling SMEs without their own robotics experts to cost-effectively and independently implement complex automation and programming. Additionally, cobots are compact enough to be used in confined spaces. Two seasoned roboticists - Kristian Kassow as CEO and Dieter Pletcher as head of sales - are driving the company forward
