Kassow Robots KR1018

Our Verdict: The heaviest-lifting 7-DOF cobot available. When you need both power and dexterity, the KR1018 delivers.

The Kassow Robots KR1018 is a powerful 7-DOF collaborative robot designed for heavy-duty tasks that require both strength and dexterity. Its 18 kg payload is among the highest in the cobot market, while the 7th axis provides the ability to reach around obstacles and into tight spaces.

Designed in Denmark by former Universal Robots engineers, the KR1018 combines Scandinavian engineering quality with innovative features. Its user-friendly programming interface supports both graphical and script-based programming, and the powerful controller handles complex motion planning for the 7-axis kinematics.
