How does the robot window cleaner: design elements and functionality

Robot - automatic device. The device performs a variety of mechanical action in accordance with the established program in it. The task of a robot that washes windows - to repeat the movement of human hands. He does so much more active, with the same intensity and frequency, so the result is usually excellent. Measured translational movement eliminates gaps.

The machine can do both dry and wet cleaning. Fits desired mode where either moistened wipes, or used in dry form. Wetting may be carried out in special containers that are part of the structure.

A robot cleaner for windows: the main technical characteristics

To date, a lot of models of robots, so you should have some knowledge to understand the differences. First of all window cleaning apparatus for different specifications. One of the most important things - a way to consolidate on a vertical surface. There are two types of models:

• vacuum means;
• magnetic robots.

Vacuum embodiments held on the surface by pumping. The degree of coupling is constantly monitored by special sensors. If there is a problem, be sure the device signals this.

Magnetic models consist of two units equipped with magnets. They are mounted on the inner and outer sides of the surface in a strictly coinciding position. Magnetic field generated by securely holds the elements on the horizontal surface.

Robot wiper for cleaning the windows on the magnet has a larger working surface, which contributes to the efficiency, but the need to install on both sides limits its application.

Work machines can both in automatic and in manual mode. To do this on the remote control, select the specific option. In automatic operation the robot moves for a given algorithm. With manual control unit must be directly set the direction.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the possibility of remote control greatly facilitates the use of the device, especially when cleaning with high-placed surfaces.
