COPENHAGEN/KASTRUP, April 30, 2026 — Kassow Robots, a Bosch Rexroth AG company, will present at interpack how even complex handling processes in the food industry can be efficiently automated. In collaboration with HELDELE Automation, a compact, camera-based cobot solution has been developed that reliably separates unstable stacks of empty yogurt cups and supplies them to further processing — even with varying formats and in limited spaces.
Compact cobots from Kassow Robots, a Bosch Rexroth AG company, can handle even difficult manual tasks in the smallest of spaces. HELDELE Automation, a Rexroth Certified Excellence Partner, has implemented a complete solution for feeding unstable stacks of empty yogurt cups of various sizes. The 7-axis cobot is equipped with a 3D camera. This captures the position of the cartons and calculates the exact gripping point of the cup stacks. A patented gripper covers all defined sizes. The cobot picks up one cup stack at a time and places it accurately into the magazine of the filling system. The control technology for the robot-assisted solution is based on solutions from the modular automation system ctrlX AUTOMATION from Bosch Rexroth. The cobot meets all requirements for use in food processing. Kassow Robots offers the 7-axis cobots for stationary and mobile use in seven different sizes.
Visitors to interpack 2026 can experience live demonstrations of automated handling of unstable stacks of cups using Kassow Robots. In addition, the exhibition shows how collaborative robotics can be integrated into packaging processes.
In addition, Bosch Rexroth will present VarioFlow plus, a versatile, high-performance conveying solution for a wide variety of packaging options.The applications shown explain how cobots and conveying technology contribute to flexible and efficient automation in the packaging industry.
About Kassow Robots
Kassow Robots, founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Kristian Kassow, develops and manufactures unique, efficient 7-axis lightweight robots for industrial applications. Bosch Rexroth has been the majority shareholder since April 2022, with co-owner Kristian Kassow continuing as CEO. The company’s motto is “strong, fast, simple.” Its robots offer speed, power and extended reach. The user-friendly design gives businesses greater flexibility, enabling SMEs without in-house robotics specialists to implement complex automation and programming cost-effectively and independently. Additionally, the compact design of the cobots allows them to be used in confined spaces. The robust product family includes seven lightweight cobots: the KR 810 (850 mm reach / 10 kg payload), KR 1018 (1000 mm / 18 kg), KR 1205 (1200 mm / 5 kg), KR 1240 (1200mm / 40 kg), KR 1410 (1400 mm / 10 kg), KR 1805 (1800 mm / 5 kg) and KR 1824 (1800mm / 24 kg).
