Husqvarna Automower® 520 EPOS®
Commercial-grade robotic mower with wire-free EPOS® virtual boundaries and fleet control — designed for systematic mowing and consistent results.
Automower® 520 EPOS® is built for commercial fleet use. Using Husqvarna EPOS® (satellite-based RTK-GNSS), you set virtual boundaries instead of installing perimeter wire — ideal when you want to adjust areas seasonally, protect new seeding, or manage multiple lawns from one dashboard.
It navigates narrow passages, delivers consistent cutting patterns (lines, checkerboard and more), and is designed to work 24/7 through the growing season with normal cleaning and blade changes.
Key features & benefits
- EPOS® wire-free technology (virtual boundaries) with ~2 cm accuracy for robust, flexible installations.
- Systematic mowing with selectable patterns (parallel lines / diamonds / triangles / checkerboard).
- Multiple work areas with individual schedules, cutting heights and patterns per area.
- Temporary stay-out zones for events, repairs, reseeding, or construction work.
- Husqvarna Fleet Services™ for monitoring, control and analytics across your whole fleet.
- EPOS® guidance calculates efficient routes to and from the docking point.
- Warning lights (pulsating/solid) for visibility during night operation.
- Electric cutting height adjustment via app for quick on-site changes.
- 5-blade cutting disc (commercial 500-series) for higher cutting performance.
- FOTA updates (firmware over the air) via Fleet Services.
- Weather timer adjusts runtime to growth rate to reduce wear.
- GPS theft protection with GeoFence alerts.

Quick comparison
- Boundary type: Virtual wire only.
- Fast boundary changes, multiple work areas, and temporary stay-out zones in-app.
- Requires EPOS® RS5 reference station.
- Boundary is set by wire — changes typically mean moving/re-laying cable.
- Often best when you prefer a fixed perimeter or have site constraints for satellite positioning.
