Swisscobots Gmbh

What Swisscobots Gmbh does

Swisscobots GmbH is a privately held Swiss distribution and integration partner founded around 2019, headquartered in Oberurnen, Canton Glarus. The company holds exclusive Swiss sales rights for Kassow Robots ApS, a Danish manufacturer of 7-axis collaborative robots (cobots), and operates with a small team of 1–10 employees led by Daniel Schraner (sales) and Dominik Baumgartner (technical). Its target customers are Swiss mid-market industrial manufacturers (Mittelständler), with primary use cases in CNC machine tending and automated workpiece loading/unloading.

The company's product portfolio centers on five Kassow cobot models — the KR810 (850mm reach, 10kg payload), KR1018 (1000mm, 18kg), KR1205 (1200mm, 5kg), KR1410 (1400mm, 10kg), and KR1805 (1800mm, 5kg) — differentiated by the 7-axis kinematic design that enables human-arm-like motion in confined spaces, ±0.1mm repeatability, and joint speeds up to 225°/second. Surrounding the core cobots, Swisscobots sells proprietary accessories (a self-closing Schraubstocksystem clamping system rated to 40 kN, pneumatic grippers compatible with all KR-series robots, and a workbench with workpiece plate and clamping prisms) plus application-specific integrated systems pairing cobots with CNC machines from manufacturers such as Haas (VF-2SS), Takisawa (110), and SKT15 lathes.

The business model combines hardware resale with professional services: end-to-end consulting from concept through implementation, in-house SolidWorks CAD development for custom integration, employee training for non-specialist robot operation, and ongoing service and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with all sales conducted through direct field engagement in Switzerland. Revenue, funding, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed, and the company operates as a domestic-only distributor within the DACH region.
