Robotic Arm for Tree Cutting & Pruning
(REF: S-1941) |
| Trial Project |
|
| Solution Feature |
- Modular End Effectors: Quick-swap electric saw (cuts ≤30cm trunks) and trimmer for adaptive pruning, reducing manual intervention.
- Precision Control: 4-axis arm (±0.05mm repeatability) with 4K camera/LCD remote enables OSH-compliant cuts from ground level.
- Tracked Mobility: IP63-rated chassis with low-pressure tracks ensures stability on slopes/uneven terrain (max. 1,200kg total weight).
- Battery Power: Swappable lithium packs (4h runtime) enable emission-free operation near pedestrians.
- Safety Tech: Proximity sensors + geofencing prevent collisions with structures/people.
|
| Trial Application and Expected Outcome |
- Phased Trials: Test pruning on 5-10m trees first in controlled zones, then public roads with traffic management.
- Arborist Oversight: Experts validate cut quality against ANSI A300 standards, adjusting tool paths.
- Stress Testing: Operate continuously in rain/dust to refine IP63 resilience.
- Safety Metrics: Record near-misses to optimize geofencing/proximity alerts.
- Real-World Feedback: Log operator input (e.g., tool-swap time) to simplify interfaces pre-production.
