Mowbot
Mowbot has been designed and developed in Italy by Zucchetti Centro Sistemi. The company works in the robotics and automation industry and serves both the consumer and large corporations. Zucchetti's guiding principle is that "technology should always be at the service of man and not the other way around." The company develops highly innovative products and services. Mowbot is their high-tech answer to your home robotics needs in the garden.
Getting started with MowBot is simple.
A border wire is laid around the perimeter of your lawn to define the mowing area. The wire can also be set around ponds and flowerbeds. The MowBot automatic lawn mower senses the signal from the border wire and moves freely within the enclosed area cutting your lawn. If MowBot touches a tree or any other obstacle, it will reverse safely and select a new direction to mow.
The 200 and 300 Series feature automatic charging as standard and it's available as an optional extra for 100 Series models. MowBot returns to its charging station when the batteries are low or the schedule you have set is complete. Using MowBot's time controller, the operating days and times can be easily set.
- Low voltage border wire is completely safe
- Works around trees and other obstacles
- Choice of manual or automatic charging
- Small grass clippings feed nutrients into your lawn
- Your ideal lawn height is maintained
- Built in rain sensor on all models
How does the MowBot automatic lawnmower know where to mow?A wire is first laid around the border of your lawn defining the area to mow. When the MowBot remote control mower reaches the wire it changes direction.
Can I bury the border wire?If you peg the wire flush to the surface of your lawn you will find that after a while the grass will grow over it. However if you prefer, the wire can be buried up to 40cm deep.
My garden is hilly, will MowBot cope with slopes?MowBot will work safely on lawns that have gradients as steep as 30° without losing speed or power and without the risk of turning over.
What about flowerbeds and trees in the garden?For obstacles such as trees, walls and sheds the MowBot robot mower will sense when it touches them, it will reverse safely and select a new direction to mow. For flowerbeds and ponds, these areas need to be excluded from the mowing area by using the border wire.
Is the height of cut adjustable?Yes, the blade can be moved up and down to achieve the length of grass that you prefer.
What happens to the clippings?The finely cut grass clippings are a great source of nitrogen for your lawn, essentially providing you with a natural fertiliser. This leaves you with no clippings to dispose of and no piles of rotting grass in your garden.
What if it rains?Just like conventional mowers, best results are achieved if your lawn is cut when dry. MowBot’s rain sensors ensure that it stops mowing and returns to the border wire or charging base when it senses rain.
When MowBot mows while I am away, can it be stolen?MowBot has a number of devices to deter theft. A 4-digit security PIN number prevents unauthorised use. Some models also incorporate an audible alarm. (Not 100 Series)
Is it safe?MowBot lawnmowers meet all current safety standards including CE & TUV. MowBot will cut out if lifted or turned over. You still need to treat it with care just like any traditional mower.
How noisy is MowBot?MowBot robot mowers are virtually silent so won't disturb you or your neighbours at all.
Is MowBot the future?Technology is about making our lives easier. MowBot is pioneering the future of mowing technology, automating the chore of cutting your lawn.
