The KURAVIZON robot, developed by Flexiv and KURABO.
Flexiv, a global provider of general-purpose robotics, announced it has partnered with KURABO, a Japanese developer of high-speed image processing and 3D measurement technology, to develop the KURAVIZON adaptive robot.
The KURAVIZION robot integrates Flexiv’s force control technology with KURABO’s 3D vision sensing technology, KURASENSE. The companies announced that KURAVIZON will be available for sale on January 10.
"The KURAVIZON system is a testament to Flexiv's commitment to expanding our global presence by delivering cutting-edge automation solutions," said Owen Wu, business development manager for the Asia Pacific region at Flexiv. "This partnership with KURABO allows us to merge our joint expertise and push the boundaries of what's possible in robotic automation."
KURABO’s KURASENSE technology, which functions as both the "eyes" and "brain" of the robotic system, combined with Flexiv’s Rizon robot as the integration platform, creates an ideal automation offering for industries in Japan that demand absolute precision and efficiency.
Driven by increasing inquiries from research institutions and manufacturers for advanced automation, KURABO sought to enhance its laboratory and factory automation capabilities through a strategic partnership.
After an extensive research and testing phase, Flexiv’s Rizon series of 7-axis adaptive robots proved to be the ideal match for the KURASENSE system.
With a payload capacity of up to 10 kg and force sensors enabling precision measurements down to 0.03 newtons, the Rizon series is optimally suited for applications requiring precision, flexibility and human-robot collaboration. By integrating KURASENSE with Flexiv’s adaptive robots, the companies said the KURAVIZON system delivers unmatched performance for tasks demanding high accuracy, adaptability and cost efficiency.
