- Capacity: You can load up to 18 cans of dog or cat food and PawBot will open 1 can at a time and serve your pet the food from opened can in a fresh bowl during each dispense cycle.
- Can sizes (USA): PawBot can handles two can sizes: 5.5oz (156g) and 3oz (85g). Just load them in and PawBot will automatically figure out which size they are and adapt its functions to match the can size.
- Brands: All brands of regular pet food cans for dogs and cats we have tested work fine. Most testing was done with US based brands. See far below notes for non-USA brands, sizes.
- Can types: Both pop-top cans (with pull tab) and those without pull tabs work fine with PawBot.
- Can material: Both steel and aluminum material cans work fine with PawBot.
- Mixing can sizes: There are 3 can stacks positions allowed inside PawBot. On each of these stack positions, you can stack up to 6 cans on top of each other, hence maximum capacity is 18 cans. Each stack can contain food cans of either of the two sizes. For example, a stack could contain any of the two sizes stacked on top of each other, but all cans in any one stack should all be the same size. You can have 1 stack of large size, and two stacks of small size or vice versa. However, please do not mix can sizes within a single stack as this can confuse the robot's assumptions and the dispense cycle could fail with possible damage to robot arm.
- Non-USA / international brands: PawBot programming is based on dimensions of cans rather than weight of cans. If you are not in USA, please measure the height and diameter of your pet food can and please email us before purchasing. Currently PawBot can handle two can sizes as noted just below. We can work with you to easily adapt PawBot to your country's can size. Current setting:
- Larger can: Height range: 1.45" - 1.6" (3.8cm - 4.1cm) approx. Diameter range: 3.3"-3.45" (8.3cm - 8.7cm) approx.
- Smaller can: Height range: 1.4" - 1.5" (3.5cm - 3.8cm) approx. Diameter range: 2.38"-2.6" (6.0cm - 6.6cm) approx.
