Under the wave of vigorous development of intelligent manufacturing and automated logistics, AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) are becoming more and more widely used. In order to further enhance the flexibility and efficiency of AGVs, Kassow Robots, a brand of Bosch Rexroth, has launched the new Edge Edition series of cobots, which are designed to work with AGVs&AMRs, bringing unprecedented compactness and efficient performance.
Highlight 1: Integrated controller, extremely compact design
The biggest highlight of the Kassow Robots Edge Edition is its integrated controller design. While traditional cobots typically require an external controller, the Edge Edition integrates the controller directly into the robot base, eliminating the space and complexity of an external controller. This design not only makes the robot more compact, but also greatly simplifies the installation and deployment process, especially for mobile solutions that work with AGVs and AMRs.
The Edge Edition series integrates the controller directly into the robot base
Highlight 2: Born for AGV collaboration
The Edge Edition robots can be connected directly to a DC power supply with a voltage range of 42V to 58V and can be switched on and off via an AGV. This means that the robot can work seamlessly with the AGV without the need for additional power management equipment, greatly improving the flexibility and responsiveness of the system.
The Edge Edition series is easy to integrate with different types of AGVs
In addition, the standard base size of the Edge Edition is 160x200mm, and the base size is the same for all models, which is convenient for integration with different models of AGVs. The robot arm can operate autonomously without a teach pendant and can be programmed once for automated operation, making it ideal for applications that require frequent movement and redeployment.
Highlight 3: 7-axis design, flexible to deal with complex tasks
The Edge Edition continues Kassow Robots' classic 7-axis design, with similar flexibility to a human arm and is able to handle complex manufacturing tasks with ease. Whether it's welding, packaging, palletizing, CNC machine loading and unloading, quality inspection, screw tightening, etc., the Edge Edition is up to the task. Its unique 7th axis design allows the robot to operate flexibly in very tight spaces, easily bypass obstacles, and complete difficult tasks.
Highlight 4: High efficiency and energy saving, quick return
The Edge Edition robots are not only efficient, but also offer excellent energy-saving features. Its power consumption is only 400-1200W at maximum load, standby power consumption is as low as 0.5W, and the system startup time is only 20 seconds, and the initialization time is only 2 seconds. This energy-efficient design not only reduces operating costs, but also provides a quick return on investment.
Highlight 5: Widely used to empower intelligent manufacturing
The Edge Edition series of 7-axis cobots is suitable for the following scenarios:
Flexible production line: Move flexibly in the production line to complete a variety of tasks and improve production efficiency.
Automated Logistics: Collaborate with AGVs to automate material handling, sorting, and storage.
Quality inspection: high-precision testing to ensure product qualification rate.
Assembly & Packaging: Precise assembly and packaging operations to improve product quality.
