The present invention relates to a cutting device (1) for fitting on an unmanned aerial vehicle (10) for the high-level pruning of vegetation in areas close to power distribution lines, which comprises at least one system for attachment (200) to the aerial vehicle (10) having a central beam (230), at least four arms (210) having connection points (12) to rods of the unmanned aerial vehicle, oriented toward motors of the aerial vehicle (10) for attachment to the aerial vehicle and a system for releasing (220) at least one cutting tool (300) whilst in use, and at least one cutting tool (300), made up of a plurality of saws each driven by a motor (310), a cutting rod (330) for attaching the plurality of saws and an automatic leveling system (320) for the cutting rod (330), which maintains said rod (330) in a horizontal position during the cutting process.
Cutting device to be fitted to an unmanned aerial vehicle for the high-level pruning of vegetation in areas close to power distribution lines, wherein it comprises at least one system for attachment to the unmanned aerial vehicle having a central beam, at least four arms having connection points to rods of the unmanned aerial vehicle, oriented toward motors of the unmanned aerial vehicle for attachment to the aerial vehicle and a release system for at least one cutting tool whilst in use, wherein said cutting tool in use comprises a plurality of saws each driven by a motor, a cutting rod for attaching the plurality of saws and an automatic leveling system for the cutting rod, which maintains said rod in a horizontal position during the cutting process.
Cutting system for the high-level pruning of vegetation in areas close to power distribution lines, wherein it comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle, preferably an industrial drone, in order to approach highly complex access points, which comprises a plurality of drive motors, and a cutting device which comprises at least one attachment system to the unmanned aerial vehicle (10) having a central beam, at least four arms having connection points to rods of the unmanned aerial vehicle, oriented toward motors of the unmanned aerial vehicle for attachment to the unmanned aerial vehicle and a release system for at least one cutting tool whilst in use, where said cutting tool is made up of a plurality of saws each driven by a motor, a cutting rod for attaching the plurality of saws and an automatic leveling system for the cutting rod, which maintains said rod in a horizontal position during the cutting process.
