INNOVATIONS

INNOVATION IS OUR COMMITMENT

Innovation is deeply rooted in our company DNA, a driving passion of our team and our daily aspiration.

Efficiency

Made for more free time

Lack of time determines the everyday lives of customers worldwide. We are constantly trying to improve our products so that users have time for the important things in life. Our product development team has invented a rechargeable battery that can be fully charged in just 8 minutes. After a short break to drink, work can be resumed immediately. We have also come up with something clever for our lawn mowers: Thanks to our new robot technology, customers can now dispense with boundary wires so that the robot can simply be placed on the lawn and do its work completely autonomously.

Mowing with AI

The robot mower, that recognizes its surroundings

Most robotic lawn mowers can only work in a defined area. Only after a time-consuming installation can the robot begin its work. With Landroid Vision, we have developed the first robotic mower that requires no perimeter wire, no mapping and no beacons and can be up and running in no time. Landroid Vision’s advanced neural network can distinguish between lawns to be mowed, obstacles and marked boundaries. With its wide-angle camera, the robot captures information and controls its behavior through its neural network. Lawn mowing has never been so easy and smart.

Small engines
are big polluters

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, one gasoline-powered lawn mower emits the same amount of pollutants as 11 late-model cars. According to the agency, emissions from lawn mowers are responsible for about 5% of total pollution in residential areas during peak season.

End users cannot be held responsible for environmental pollution as long as there is no alternative technology. Electric lawn mowers require long, cumbersome cables, while battery-powered mowers only work for a limited time. In addition, both models are considered less powerful than gasoline lawn mowers… In 2009, Positec launched IntelliCut, a revolutionary generation of cordless lawn mowers that can achieve a remarkable cutting capacity of up to 1,600m² on a single charge. The mowers are equipped with power-on-demand technology, an electronic control system that increases power on demand, putting petrol mowers in the shade.

If 50% of the estimated 150 million mowers in use worldwide were to be replaced by IntelliCut zero-emission lawn mowers, it would be the equivalent of getting rid of over 800 million cars. At least for one hour a week, 6 months a year. Our technology makes it possible.

Good vibrations?
Not always

Vibration from hand-held power tools is a common cause of occupational disability – painful and disabling conditions of the blood vessels, nerves and joints known as HAVS (hand-arm vibration syndrome). Millions of workers are at risk of developing HAVS in the workplace. HAVS is serious and disabling, and once the damage is done, it is irreversible. The European Union’s Directive 20002/44/EC recognizes the risk and limits the exposure of workers in the EU (exposure action level of 2.5m/s2). Unfortunately, the vast majority of power grinders, hammer drills and reciprocating saws do not comply with this important safety regulation.
Some tools vibrate as a side effect, others as the main effect. With power sanders, for example, the sandpaper attached to the sanding disc vibrates. Positec’s VibraFree technology takes a unique approach: it absorbs the unwanted vibrations and transfers them to the workpiece instead of transferring them to the operator’s hand. Simple and revolutionary, it works independently of the feed force.

VibraFree-based sanders not only comply with EU safety regulations, but also significantly increase worker productivity by redirecting unwanted vibrations back to the work tool. An Intertek-certified sanding test has shown that VibraFree sanders reduce vibration by around half compared to the best competitor machine and are over 30% more efficient. The combination of lower vibration and higher performance leads to a drastic reduction in vibration exposure for the user.

Creativity & Innovation

There is a difference between creativity and innovation. As Theordire Levitt puts it: “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things”. At Positec, we are not satisfied with great ideas, we put them into practice.

Quiet

For a peaceful atmosphere in the suburbs

Originally, we wanted to extend the running time of our cordless lawn mowers by improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the blades. In doing so, we discovered a way to significantly reduce noise emissions compared to other mowers. While a typical petrol lawn mower can still be heard from a distance of half a kilometer, our new Intellicut® lawn mowers are barely audible from less than 10 m away. We call it the “whispering lawn mower”. We would cheer about it, but we don’t want to disturb the neighbors.

Solutions

Innovation in all areas

We analyze the everyday challenges of power tools and their users and offer new solutions that significantly improve product benefits. And in all areas of application. Do you want to saw something? Thanks to our Exactrack technology, the saw blade can be positioned directly on the guide rail so that distances no longer need to be recalculated. Do you want to sand something? With interchangeable sanding attachments, the Sanddeck combines 5 sanding tools in one cordless tool. We have also found a solution for the DIY workshop: All tool attachments can be flexibly connected to a battery with a 1-meter power cable – this keeps the tool light and allows you to work flexibly without being tied to a fixed power source.

Take care when using chainsaws

Among the most common power tools for lawn and garden, the chainsaw is by far the most dangerous. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 36,000 people are treated in emergency rooms each year for chainsaw-related injuries. The medical costs of chainsaw injuries in the US alone amount to approximately 350 million dollars per year.

We recognized the problem and felt that the typical chainsaw was designed for the needs of loggers rather than homeowner applications. Therefore, our primary goal was to develop a chainsaw that could handle everything from pruning to cutting logs to cleaning up after a storm. The result is the Worx® JawSaw, a chainsaw in which the chain is enclosed by a blade cover that prevents accidental contact with the chain by the user, who must keep both hands on the tool handles to operate the saw.
Designed to meet the needs of homeowners, the JawSaw is a much safer chainsaw that can help significantly reduce the number of chainsaw-related injuries.

For a more relaxed coexistence

During the spring, the air in the suburbs is polluted with noise and other air pollutants. A typical gasoline-powered lawn mower can be heard up to 500 meters away. In other words, a single lawn mower pollutes up to 100 acres of the neighborhood with noise. Electric lawn mowers are quieter, but still spread their noise over a distance of 200 meters. Such noise pollution has a negative impact on the quality of life in residential areas.
As with helicopters, the greatest noise nuisance with lawn mowers is not caused by the engine, but by the blade. By improving the aerodynamics of the mower blade, we were able to achieve a significant reduction in noise. We call this technology “Mute”, and it lives up to its name. With Mute, noise propagation is limited to 15 meters. Worx® battery-powered cordless lawn mowers are lightweight, exceptionally quiet, easy to use and deliver mowing results like no other.
Gardeners can now maintain green spaces without disturbing the peace and quiet of their neighbors. In addition, Worx® IntelliCut™ technology allows you to set a higher torque for thicker grass and reduce power to save energy.
