Kassow Cobot Arm Technology Enhances Precision, Safety

Kassow Robots Sensitive Arm technology is an advanced force control system across its complete range of seven-axis cobots. The system integrates high-resolution torque sensors into all seven joints of each robot, enabling manufacturers to automate delicate and contact-sensitive tasks with improved precision, safety and flexibility.

The Sensitive Arm system provides real-time, low-latency force feedback while utilizing integrated torque sensors across all joints. With a sensor resolution of up to 0.024 Nm/bit and a control frequency of 30 kHz, the system supports compliant and nuanced motions essential for complex tasks such as assembly, surface finishing, inspection and delicate handling.

Operators can fine-tune how the robot responds to external forces using a dedicated interface that simplifies adjusting parameters such as stiffness, damping and end-effector compliance. The system also supports one of the smoothest and most responsive hand-guiding experiences available, according to the company, with minimal resistance and high sensitivity, enabling fast and intuitive programming by demonstration. This reduces the time and complexity involved in deploying new applications.

By eliminating the need for external force and torque sensors, the Sensitive Arm simplifies system integration while improving feedback accuracy. It also enhances collaborative safety by enabling faster, more reliable detection of impacts or unexpected contact, creating safer conditions for human-robot interaction on the factory floor.

The Sensitive Arm is available across Kassow Robots’ entire seven-axis collaborative robot portfolio, including new high-payload models, expanding automation possibilities for complex and sensitive tasks.
