In today’s fast-paced world, smart devices are reshaping how we clean our homes and businesses—and floor cleaning robots are leading that transformation. But while sleek exteriors and advanced algorithms often get the spotlight, it’s the internal components—like microswitches—that do the real heavy lifting.
At Dewo Electronics, we manufacture the microswitches that bring these robotic cleaners to life. As the owner of a company dedicated to precision-engineered switching solutions, I’m excited to share how our products play a vital role in making floor cleaning robots more intelligent, reliable, and efficient.
Floor cleaning robots navigate complex indoor spaces, often filled with furniture, walls, and tight corners. Dewo microswitches provide ultra-fast snap-action feedback when the robot encounters an obstacle, prompting it to stop, reverse, or reroute—avoiding damage to both the unit and its surroundings.
Our switches are widely integrated into bumper designs. When the bumper is pressed, our highly sensitive microswitches activate instantly. This ensures smooth redirection and adds a physical layer of protection, powered by high-precision actuation and long cycle life.
Falling down stairs or ledges can be fatal for a robot cleaner. Dewo switches support edge detection modules, activating when a ledge is detected to stop the robot in its tracks—ensuring both safety and longevity.
Certain advanced robot models use Dewo microswitches to detect dirt-rich areas. Upon detection, the robot adjusts its behavior—triggering extra suction or repeat passes—ensuring spotless cleaning where it's needed most.
Our microswitches also help control brush motor engagement. Instead of running continuously, the brushes activate only when needed, conserving energy and extending the robot's battery life. It's smarter, cleaner, and more efficient—thanks to responsive switching technology.
Our microswitches are embedded in docking stations to confirm proper robot alignment before charging begins. When the switch is triggered, the system knows it’s safe to recharge—no guesswork, just seamless functionality.
Overcharging batteries can reduce robot lifespan. Dewo switches help monitor charging cycles, acting as protective cut-offs when thresholds are reached. This preserves battery health and maximizes performance.
Fast snap-action response for real-time control.
Customizable actuation force to meet your exact design requirements.
Energy-saving integration for optimized battery performance.
Rated for millions of cycles under mechanical stress.
Dust and moisture resistance (IP67/IP68 models available).
Superior materials: silver alloy and gold contacts for reliability in any environment.
Reliable fall and collision protection.
Seamless, hands-free docking and charging.
Low maintenance requirements and maximum uptime.
Even the best components face challenges. Here’s how Dewo Electronics tackles them:
| Challenge | Our Solution |
| Sensitivity calibration | Adjustable switches + software integration for dynamic environments. |
| Long-term wear | High-cycle life ratings and premium materials to extend product life. |
| Environmental exposure | IP-rated sealing to block dust, water, and contaminants. |
| Smart tech integration | Modular designs compatible with AI, IoT, and multi-sensor systems. |
We’re exploring non-mechanical alternatives that eliminate physical wear altogether—ideal for heavy-use robotic systems.
Our R&D is driving smaller, thinner switch designs without sacrificing performance. This gives engineers more flexibility in compact robotic designs.
Coming soon: microswitches with built-in sensors for pressure, temperature, or contact feedback—feeding directly into robotic control systems for smarter behavior.
Imagine your cleaning robot sending you real-time cleaning stats, alerts, or maintenance reminders—all powered by switch-integrated data collection. We’re making it possible.
Whether you manufacture home floor robots, commercial janitorial bots, or advanced industrial cleaners, Dewo Electronics provides the microswitches that make them work reliably, intelligently, and safely.
With a focus on customization, durability, and innovation, we’re not just a supplier—we’re your strategic partner in building the next generation of robotic cleaning solutions.
