Flexiv (Santa Clara, CA), a provider of general-purpose robotics solutions, has partnered with KURABO (Osaka, Japan), a provider of high-speed image processing and 3D measurement technology, to develop the new KURAVIZON adaptive robot.
Integrating Flexiv’s industry-leading force control technology with KURABO’s advanced 3D vision sensing technology, KURASENSE, the KURAVIZON robot launched in January. KURABO’s KURASENSE technology, which functions as both the “eyes” and “brain” of the robotic system, combined with Flexiv’s industry proven Rizon robot as the integration platform, creates an automation solution for industries that demand absolute precision and efficiency.
Driven by increasing inquiries from research institutions and manufacturers for advanced automation solutions, 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, renowned for their superior force sensing and whole-body force control, proved to be the right match for the KURASENSE system.
With a payload capacity of up to 10 kg and industry-leading force sensors enabling precision measurements down to 0.03 newtons, the Rizon series is optimally suited for applications requiring precision, flexibility, and seamless human-robot collaboration. By integrating KURASENSE with Flexiv’s adaptive robots, the KURAVIZON system delivers unmatched performance for tasks demanding high accuracy, adaptability, and cost efficiency.
