The Side Lawn Mower is a specialized rear-hinged attachment designed for high-performance mulching of branches and grass around tree trunks, root zones, and nearby trunk areas. It features a deck with three horizontal knife flails, which, guided by mechatronic actuation, follows a precise trajectory around tree trunks. This ensures efficient weed control, soil aeration, and optimal root zone conditioning while preventing damage to trees. This advanced design provides smooth and precise mulching, making it an ideal solution for maintaining plantation health and productivity.
The Side Lawn Mower is an electrically driven attachment, ensuring consistent performance, precision, and efficiency without relying on hydraulic actuation. All instrument functions are based on electromechanical and mechatronic solutions powered by brushless motors, eliminating the need for hydraulic oil and actuators. This design significantly reduces leakage risks, minimizes maintenance requirements, and eliminates environmental concerns associated with hydraulic systems. The electric-driven mower deck allows for gentle and precise operation in root areas, preventing structural damage to both trees and equipment while ensuring smooth and efficient mulching around trunks and in plantation passages.
Encoder-Based Soft Contact Sensor & Suspension Frame
The Side Lawn Mower features an encoder-based soft contact sensor integrated into a specially designed suspension frame around the mower deck. Unlike traditional discrete sensors, this advanced system continuously calculates the real-time distance between the lawn mower deck and the tree trunk, ensuring precise and adaptive operation around trees.
