Kassow Robots KR1410

What it's for

The Kassow Robots KR1410 is meant for stations where a standard six-axis cobot feels cramped: it has 1,400 mm of reach, a 10 kg payload and, as its trademark, seven axes instead of the usual six. The seventh axis lets it "pop its elbow" like a human arm and route around obstacles that an ordinary arm could not clear in the same pose.

It also carries a built-in force-torque sensor (a feature of the whole KR series), so the robot can feel contact and work safely alongside people (factories). In practice it suits work with a larger envelope: machine loading, moving parts between stations, simple assembly, and handling from a greater distance.

The manufacturer added the KR1410 to cover larger working envelopes than the base KR810 or KR1205. Behind the brand is Kristian Kassow, a co-creator of Universal Robots; since April 2022 Bosch Rexroth has held a majority stake, which brings access to a global service network. The Danish company (Kassow Robots) targets a segment where agility of motion matters more than price per kilogram of payload. Why a seventh axis changes how a robot works is explained in our piece on “Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in Humanoid Robots”. For a broader overview of arms, see cobots.

Who it's for

Yes: for integrators and plants that need long reach at a medium payload and work in tight, cluttered cells, where seven axes give a real advantage. Also for companies that value the service backbone of a large corporation, although its availability in Poland still has to be confirmed.

No: for stations where the highest possible payload matters. The JAKA Zu 12 (12 kg) or the UR20 (20 kg) are better there. Not for buyers who want to purchase off the shelf in Poland: availability and a local distributor are unconfirmed, and no KR1410 price was found. And not for budget projects where an arm costing a few tens of thousands of zloty is enough, such as the igus ReBeL.

Deployments

Neither availability nor a local distributor has been confirmed. Worldwide the brand benefits from the Bosch Rexroth service network, but our sources list no specific installations of this model.

Other brands do operate in the category in Poland: UR through elmark.com.pl, Doosan through coboty-doosan.pl, Techman through TFM Robotics, FANUC through spawalnictwo.pl and Yaskawa through yaskawa.pl. More on what cobots are in “What Is a Cobot and How Does It Differ from an Industrial Robot”.

Kassow Robots KR810: the entry-level seven-axis cobot from the same family, with 850 mm reach and a 10 kg payload, from EUR 29,100 net. Choose it when you do not need the long arm.

JAKA Zu 12: 12 kg payload and 1,327 mm reach, six axes. More payload, less kinematic flexibility; price and availability in Poland unknown.

UR10e: 12.5 kg payload, 1,300 mm reach, sold in Poland through elmark.com.pl at about PLN 159,645 (≈ EUR 36,520 at NBP rate 4.3716 of 20 October 2026). The most popular platform, with local support.

Neura MAiRA M: a cognitive cobot with a 3D camera and seven axes, about EUR 39,500 net (PLN 172,892). Pricier, but with "vision" as standard.

ABB GoFa CRB 15000: 5 kg payload, about PLN 147,724 (≈ EUR 33,790) from a distributor in Poland; for lighter tasks.

Kassow Robots was founded in 2015 in Denmark (Copenhagen, Kastrup), and its founder Kristian Kassow is a co-creator of Universal Robots. In April 2022 Bosch Rexroth took a majority stake; Kassow remained CEO and co-owner.

The KR1410 is a further model in the KR series, added to cover larger working envelopes than the KR810 and KR1205. No launch date for this specific model is available. The whole family stands out for its seventh axis and built-in force-torque sensor, which built the brand's position in the niche of more agile cobots.
