MACHINERY FEATURE: ROBOTIC LAWN MOWERS

FREELEXO ROBOTIC LAWN

MOWER FROM EINHELL

When it comes to mowing the lawn, opinions are split. Depending on the size of
the property, it can mean several hours of work because the grass needs to be cut

at least once a week, particularly in the summer months.

ow though, help is at hand in the shape of the modern
FREELEXO robotic lawn mower from Einhell, which is operated
Nwith a removable 18 volt power X-change battery pack. Saving
time, giving precise cutting results and with an environmentally-
friendly design, the robotic mowers are not just a garden tool, but an
intelligent solution for a well-maintained lawn.
In its garden range, battery specialist Einhell offers robotic lawn
mowers with a variety of setting options, as well as accessory kits
with and without boundary wires.
They weave their way almost silently through the grass and are an
increasingly common sight in gardens, keeping the grass perfectly
in shape and saving a huge amount of time. The stalks are trimmed
precisely every day, with the cuttings remaining on the lawn as There are no boundary wires; boundaries are detected by means of cameras
natural fertiliser. Not only does this protect the grass from drying out and sensors
and from night frosts, but the nutrients from the severed stalks also
encourage strong and healthy growth.
Uniquely, the FREELEXO models get their power from a
removable power X-change battery pack rather than a permanent
battery. This can also be used in all other tools across the battery
platform, which already comprises over 300 DIY and garden tools.
After cutting the grass, for instance, you can continue to use the
battery in a hedge trimmer, grass trimmer or cordless screwdriver.
In addition, the range per battery charge can be adapted to the size
of the area that requires mowing, as the power X-change batteries
are available with different capacities (Ah). With the corresponding
installation accessories, the robotic lawn mowers can handle lawns
from 300 to 1200 square meters in size, making them suitable for
bigger gardens as well. Maximum protection due to sensors for impact, tilt, lift and rain

Robotic lawn mower without boundary wires
One of the top products in the range is the FREELEXO CAM 500 robot
lawn mower, which features sophisticated camera technology and is
ideal for lawns of up to 500 square meters. The integrated camera
scans the area to be mowed and identifies optical boundary features
such as stones, pools or bark mulch, based on colour and structure.
The ultrasonic sensors also recognise obstacles and physical
boundaries like hedges, walls and trees, removing the need to spend
a lot of time setting up a boundary wire. An intuitive keypad makes it
easy to program the mowing times.
Thanks to the mowing mode for secondary areas, the FREELEXO
CAM 500 can also be used flexibly in separate parts of the garden.
The scope of supply includes a five metre long magnetic tape that The cutting height is individually adjustable between 20 and 60 mm
can be configured as a virtual fence. The integrated magnetic sensors
detect the magnetic tape and turn the mower away on reaching it.
This makes it possible to cordon off areas that are not to be tackled,
such as those around a freshly planted tree or a flower meadow. A rain
sensor, anti-theft protection and impact, tilt, and lift sensors are also
included as standard. The cutting height of the robot lawn mower
can be adjusted from 20 to 60 mm, and the mower can handle slopes
of up to 25 percent.
