For those who manage large-scale green spaces, Husqvarna recently introduced the Automower 560 EPOS robotic mower.
The Automower 560 features satellite-based EPOS technology that allows the user to establish wire-free, virtual boundaries and no-mow zones.
The unit features a floating, five-blade cutting system centered around a quick-release cutting disc that is engineered to handle dense grass and variable terrain at heights of cut from 0.8 inches to 2.4 inches. A pivoting front axle helps maintain ground contact to maximize traction on slopes up to 27 degrees, and an integrated radar unit coupled with an optional AI vision technology can detect obstacles in the unit’s path. If Automower encounters any obstacles, it stops or changes direction, further ensuring its mowing mission.
The Automower is equipped with several sensors, including an automatic and immediate shutdown of the cutting function if the unit tips over or is lifted from the ground. The product design ensures that the blades are positioned well away from the outer edge of the machine body for increased safety.
One unit can maintain 1.5 acres in a 24-hour period.
Powered by an 18-volt lithium-ion battery, the Automower can run for 150 minutes on a single charge. Charge time is about 55 minutes.
Husqvarna’s Fleet Services allows users to remotely:
- control and analyze an entire fleet of products via smartphone, tablet or laptop
- monitor exact location of each unit
- control remote start/stop
