New Kassow KR1824 and KR1240: High-Payload 7-Axis Collaborative Robots for Australian Manufacturers
The Next Generation of Collaborative Robot Automation
Manufacturers across Australia are increasingly investing in collaborative robots (cobots) to improve productivity, reduce labour shortages and increase manufacturing efficiency. Kassow Robots has responded with two powerful additions to its industry-leading range of 7-axis collaborative robots—the KR1824 and KR1240.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, these new high-payload cobots combine Kassow’s unique seven-axis technology with greater payload capacity, increased stiffness and faster motion performance. The result is a collaborative robot capable of performing heavier manufacturing tasks while maintaining the flexibility, safety and ease of deployment that modern factories demand.
Whether you’re looking for a machine tending robot, palletising cobot or material handling robot, the KR1824 and KR1240 offer an advanced automation solution for Australian manufacturers.
Why Choose a 7-Axis Cobot?
Unlike conventional six-axis robots, every Kassow 7-axis cobot includes an additional joint that provides greater freedom of movement.
This extra axis enables the robot to:
- Reach around machinery and obstacles
- Work efficiently in confined production spaces
- Perform complex movements without repositioning
- Improve cycle times and production flexibility
- Reduce the footprint of robotic automation cells
For manufacturers seeking flexible automation, a 7-axis collaborative robot delivers greater versatility than traditional industrial robots while maintaining safe collaboration with operators.
Higher Payload Capacity Without Compromising Flexibility
The new KR1824 and KR1240 have been developed specifically for applications requiring higher payloads and longer reach.
Typical applications include:
- CNC machine tending
- Automated machine loading and unloading
- Palletising and depalletising
- Material handling
- Packaging automation
- Assembly operations
- End-of-line automation
- Production line servicing
These capabilities allow manufacturers to automate heavier and more repetitive tasks while improving workplace safety and production efficiency.
Built for Modern Manufacturing
As part of the Bosch Rexroth family, Kassow Robots continues to redefine what’s possible with collaborative robotics.
The KR1824 and KR1240 feature:
- High payload capacity
- Long working reach
- Compact robot footprint
- EDGE integrated controller option
- External controller option
- Mobile automation compatibility
- Easy integration into existing production lines
Their compact design makes them ideal for factories where floor space is at a premium, while their flexible controller options support mobile robotic platforms and modular manufacturing systems.
Faster, Stronger and More Precise
The latest Kassow collaborative robots introduce major performance improvements that deliver measurable productivity gains.
Key enhancements include:
- 50% higher joint torque for handling heavier payloads
- More than 20% faster wrist joint speeds for reduced cycle times
- 40% greater mechanical stiffness for improved precision and repeatability
These improvements result in smoother movement, greater stability and higher accuracy when handling large or heavy components.
Ideal Applications for the KR1824 and KR1240
Australian manufacturers can use these collaborative robots across numerous industries, including:
- Metal fabrication
- CNC machining
- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Automotive components
- Electronics manufacturing
- Plastics processing
- Warehousing and logistics
- General industrial manufacturing
Their combination of reach, payload and flexibility makes them an ideal solution for businesses looking to improve productivity while reducing manual handling.
