TOR laser weeder
Trabotyx · Netherlands
First Dutch laser weeding robot, launched June 2025 by Trabotyx (Maarssen) — an autonomous GPS-RTK platform that kills weeds as small as 1 mm with blue diode lasers (adjustable to 200 W each, up to 6 lasers per machine), zero-till and chemical-free. Trained for nine vegetables (carrots, onions, lettuce, cabbage, herbs, spinach, beet, parsnip, chicory) and three flower-bulb crops (lilies, tulips, peonies), with under 2% crop hit rate. The TOR Flex works a 1.5 m width; production is capped at 10 machines for the 2026 season.
Available in: Netherlands
At a glance
Best for
Dutch organic and low-input vegetable and flower-bulb growers who want chemical-free, zero-till in-row weed control — the laser removes weeds mechanical hoes miss without disturbing soil, and the vendor claims ~91% fewer weeds versus conventional practice.
Avoid if
Your weeds routinely exceed ~2.5 cm before treatment, your daily area demand outstrips ~1.3 ha/day per machine, or you cannot secure one of the 10 machine slots for 2026.
Not suitable for
Broadacre cereals, vineyards, orchards, barns; buyers outside the Netherlands, where sales and service are currently concentrated.
