Kassow's Strongest Cobot @ 18kg! A lightweight robot with impressive power

Introducing the KR1018 7-axis cobot arm. A strong, lightweight robot (payload: 18 kg; reach: 1000mm; weight: 34 kg) for repetitive precise pick & place tasks, which require great strength. Like all Kassow robots the KR8=1018 has an intuitive user-interface and plug & play design for accessories. This new heavy duty cobot is designed for industrial applications to take the heavy lifting off the hands of employees.  The KR1018 offers repeatability of +/- 0.1mm and a joint speed of up to 225 degrees per second. Another differentiator, besides the high payload, are the communications and I/O on the end of arm: 100Mbit CAT5, 4 digital out, 2 analog out, 2 analog or digital in. Adding intelligent end effectors and/or vision systems has never been easier.
