WHY IT WORKS
Four Things a Rigid
Cleaning Head Cannot Do.
-
01
It touches the surface, on purpose.
The Pliabot® joint lets the squeegee sit flat against the glass and follow it. Contact force stays inside a set band, so the pane is cleaned rather than blasted — and the airframe never feels the push.
-
02
Recoil cancelled at the joint.
An 8 MPa jet pushes back hard. SlimEngine™ absorbs that reaction in the muscle instead of passing it to the flight controller, so the drone holds station.
-
03
One-step nozzle change.
Fan, pencil or brush head, swapped on the ground in seconds. The controller recognises the tool and loads its motion envelope.
-
04
Built for all-weather duty.
Rated −40 °C to +60 °C and IP55, operational up to 10 m/s wind. The muscle envelope is a 400-hour service part, swapped in under ten minutes.
