Kassow Robots Expands Its Reach in the Eastern US With BlueBay Automation Partnership

Kassow Robots, a developer of 7-axis cobots for machine tending, material
handling, and related applications, has partnered with BlueBay Automation
(Nashville, Tennessee, USA), an industrial automation solutions provider.

In applications with extremely tight spaces, robotic solutions are seldomly
feasible. However, the Kassow Robots KR series
<https://www.kassowrobots.com/products/>  of 7-axis lightweight
collaborative robots enables BlueBay Automation customers to efficiently
navigate light manufacturing operations in a wide variety of industries and
applications including machine tending, palletizing, welding, automotive,
packaging, and electronics.

“Our broad product portfolio of 7-axis cobots and BlueBay Automation’s
integration capabilities and extensive robot experience will help customers
combat common industrial challenges, such as difficult retrofits, labor
shortages, and continuous improvement efforts,” says Dieter Pletscher, the
head of global sales at Kassow Robots.

The KR series of 7-axis lightweight cobots provides a reach of about 3-6
feet (850-1800 mm) and payloads around 11-40 pounds (5-18 kg) to automate a
variety of physically demanding and/or repetitive tasks. Additionally, each
joint offers speed (225 degrees per second) to keep up with applications
such as pick-and-place tasks, quality inspection, and palletizing.

“We have been following our collaborative robot competitors closely as the
market matures, and Kassow Robots’ 7th axis is a differentiator for
overcoming payload and speed limitations,” says Pierre de Giorgio, CEO of
BlueBay Automation. “All of Kassow Robots’ significant competitive
advantages have set them apart from the rest of the market, so we wanted to
get in on the ground level and become part of this story.”

Flexible software programming and Kassow’s seventh axis enable continuous
dispensing, welding, and material removal applications regardless of access
angle, without the need to reorient the arm. The cobots are perfect for
limited-space retrofits and a strong addition to BlueBay Automation’s
flexible automation, robotics, motion control, and IIoT solutions.
