Kassow Robots KR Series & Edge Edition

Kassow Robots develops and manufactures 7-axis lightweight collaborative robots for industrial applications. Its headquarters are in Kastrup, Denmark, and the company is majority owned by Bosch Rexroth.

The KR Series offers five 7-axis models, and the Edge Edition integrates the controller into the robot base. At Automatica 2025 the company showed partner applications including welding with Kemppi and palletizing with Wepall, new higher-payload models, a sensitive arm with force sensors in all seven joints, and an external controller redesigned to be 75% smaller.

• KR Series: five 7-axis collaborative arms.
• Edge Edition: controller integrated into the robot base.
• Force-sensitive arm: optional force sensors on all seven joints for tasks such as polishing.
• Controller options: three versions, including an external controller 75% smaller.
• KR Pulse Ecosystem: partner applications for welding, palletizing and dosing.
• Mobile solutions: two Edge Edition arms on a mobile base with partners.

A food or consumer-goods plant palletizing cartons with a partner palletizing package. A metal workshop welding small parts with a 7-axis arm. An electronics or machining factory tending CNC machines.

Seven axes allow reach into tight cells and around fixtures. Integrating the controller in the base saves floor space. A partner ecosystem supplies ready applications for welding, palletizing, CNC tending and quality control.

Demand is growing for compact cobots that combine welding, palletizing and tending in small cells. Southeast Asian factories adding automation in limited floor space are a fit for integrated-controller designs.

Headquarters: Kajakvej 2, Kastrup, Denmark. Majority owned by Bosch Rexroth. Showed at Automatica 2025 (Munich, 24-27 June). Founded year not stated on the page.
