Development of the automotive industry does not stand still. People are trying to improve your life, make it more comfortable and convenient. Car manufacturers are trying to facilitate driving to its customers. Due to this, constantly improving the various technologies. Thus, the manual transmission was attached to an automatic clutch. Adding these two elements together, the developers received a so-called robotic transmission, combining all the advantages and disadvantages of units. People know the name “box-robot”.
Figuring out the features of this design, you need to pay attention to the relevant reviews. Box robot requires a specific reference, but to understand why, you need to understand its structure.
According to the preliminary description it is possible to think that the overall design is a simple machine with a special control. But it is not. Take a closer look at this question.
Design is based on the mechanical box, which, in the opinion of both professionals and ordinary drivers are considered more reliable than the automatic. This can be understood by reading online reviews. Box-robot has a special device. They are necessary in order to shift to the clutch.
It is Worth noting that, using a conventional manual transmission, the driver chooses the time of switching. To do this, he focuses on what is happening on the road and uses the clutch pedal together with the linkage of the transmission. When designing a new device, which received controversial from drivers reviews, box-robot showed itself from a completely different side. It was decided to exclude from the above immediate actions of the driver. All important switching the computer. For the successful functioning of the robot has been equipped with special nodes-actuators. Through them it became possible to switch gear, which manages the computer itself.

Judging by the reviews, consumers noted a few major advantages. We are talking about the great fuel economy, ease of repair. Also some consumers like the lack of a clutch pedal. Another advantage of allocated drivers is that there is a possibility manually to change gears.
The Box in question, operated by nodes-actuators, which we mentioned earlier. They gather information about such details as the speed drive, the speed power unit, the work of some of the sensors. Proceeding from the received data, the computer decides what gear you want to activate. As drivers know, for the clutch servo is responsible. He accepts the command to change mode and disconnects the engine from the input shaft. During this process, the second servo is activated, it chooses the gear that is needed, and it instantly includes. A second later the motor is again connected to the shaft, and the car continues its path. This whole process happens as quickly as possible, so the person does not even notice. All he has to notice – a small pulse, but nothing more. It works the transmission – “robot”. The reviews discussed below.
The Servos are of two types. There are electric and hydraulic. The first is the engine, which is capable of using the gear, to move the Executive part. Hydraulic acts through a special cylinder. It receives commands directly from the control unit.
While using the drivers available identify the advantages and disadvantages. Of course, you need to talk about them. What statements can be found exploring the reviews? Box-the robot has its own characteristics. And to begin, consider the advantages.
Even with this list of benefits the device has its drawbacks that may deter some share of drivers. Look at them.
Due to the fact that the box has its drawbacks, the first developments were met with pretty bad. The main thing that did not like the drivers – jerks that appeared when driving. Most likely, it was felt due to the low speed. But the developers due to the small cost and ease of Assembly continued to seek solutions to the problems encountered.
In order to rectify the situation and to reduce the delay time when switching, the designers began to use boxes with two clutches that work independently from each other. This allowed to get rid of significant delays and jerks. Dynamics of machines has increased significantly; as consumer demand has increased dramatically. Already began to gain popularity box is a robot. Owner reviews are gradually getting better.
Now let's talk about who was the first to use robotized gearbox. Pioneers are “Audi”, and German «Volkswagen». They install on your machine such transmission since 2003. Reviews about how exactly their car works box, will be described below.
That gave the use of a dual-clutch? Due to the necessary gear is engaged before the previous one turns off. And thus the machine continuously switches from one to another, while maintaining traction in the right amount. This robotized gearbox called double clutch. She is the second generation. Returning to the design of the device, it is necessary to say that the physical box of any type works with one of the primary and secondary shafts. This same design has received them in two pieces. For what? Each pair corresponds to either the odd or even transmission. The primary shafts are located dolls, one nested in another. Connected to the power unit they are due to the multi-plate clutch.
By combining all of the best developments of the transmission of the second generation, that is, those who work with dual clutch, got more economical and faster technology drive. Also they are as comfortable as possible during operation. Due to the small volume of such a box rational and cost-effective to use in small cars than automatic.
But even with a lot of advantages can be identified and some disadvantages. For example, unlike the first generation, such a transmission is much more difficult to repair. Moreover, it will be released in a decent amount, which includes all drivers. Also previously had a problem with torque, but now this nuance is completely eliminated.
The model number of the manufacturer's "Opel" sometimes there are cars with robotized transmission. Unfortunately, they are more negative reviews than positive. Perhaps this is the fault of the manufacturer and "Opel".
Box-robot, which we consider runs with only 1 grip. It brings some discomfort, as the driver can feel the process of shifting. Most of the machines equipped with this option, but there are also models with the second generation.
For reviews, to get used to the box will have a long time, it is specific. However, it is possible, and after a decent interval of time to use it is most convenient. Separately note that the price tags on these vehicles, the transmission repair is low, so it can be in a separate advantage. It allows you to close your eyes to serious disadvantages.
Drivers Often say that it is necessary to regularly recalibrate the clutch. Due to the fact that this question is almost taken care of by the manufacturer "Opel" box-robot (reviews about this occur constantly) as if live their lives. It is not adapted to the way of driving of the driver, so sometimes may even lose.
In General, is not who advises to buy a car from a company called "Opel" with a robotic gearbox. If you still have a desire to experience, you should look to the most expensive options. However, we must note that follow on the road will have twice carefully, not to miss if suddenly the box will be “slow down”.
Have above considered the overall situation for "Opel" we would like to touch on the Astra car, which used a box-a robot. "Astra", reviews of which are controversial, but not bad, got the design of the first generation, so we can say that it is designed for everybody. And we are talking about the process of operation, not repair. Some drivers note that with this box better than mechanical. However, her work is much worse when compared to a conventional and most well-known automated. Many note that "Astra" box-robot doesn't like traffic jams and sometimes begins to falter in the work. Depending on the nature of the damage, the device may be much cheaper to repair than an automated transmission. However, to say that this is true in all cases, it is impossible.
Considering that everyone has their own preferences in the selection of the machine and its transmission, the driver will decide whether they are suitable for this «Toyota». Box-robot, reviews of which are good in 80% of cases, shows normal operation. But it also has some disadvantages.
Before you purchase a car, many are thinking about what transmission is better? For this we consider the advantages and disadvantages. We will do this, taking into account the feedback box is a robot.
"Corolla" such equipment is dedicated to the ode of drivers. They say that when work is spent a small amount of fuel. Moreover, it is easier to maintain and much cheaper. But there are also disadvantages. What? Automatic changes gear slightly faster than “robot”. Sometimes brings smooth operation that affects the dynamic drive and comfort in General. And before to go somewhere in the winter, always have to warm up the car. Otherwise there is a high probability that the transmission will work properly.
Not all drivers enthusiastically accept the fact that you have the box robot to "Toyota Corolla". Reviews most consumers make it clear – machine to manage easily and problems rarely occur. But again, you need to understand the specifics of this transmission and be ready to adapt yourself to it.
Consider a legendary car of domestic manufacturer with a robotized transmission. Try to understand the advantages and disadvantages, given the reviews. «Lada-Vesta”, the robot-like box which not all consumers have proliferated in the market. All write that it will have a long time to get used to, however this is not a problem.
Met online in a large number of good reviews. They allow us to understand that the main problem of the box is just too small (in comparison with automatic transmission) shift speeds. Quite often drivers don't use manual mode, usually this is not necessary. Often, an urgent need appears only when moving in a large stream of cars. And as you know, transmission is not adjusted to the particular driving style of the driver, and therefore safer and cheaper to use manual mode.
Some consumers do not like the prospect of self-control, because the transmission of the same given to the computer, and it should always run without human intervention.
Also of the benefits consumers note that box-the robot is not very heavy powerplant, so travel is convenient and comfortable. The switching process after the implementation of the dispersal occurs fairly quickly. However, working with a single grip – almost the last century. This greatly hinders the development of such transmission, as the first generation model get a lot of negativity in his address, and it reduces the popularity of the device.
Overall, “Lada-Vesta” is considered normal inexpensive option. Gain it, as a rule, those who are just learning to drive, more advanced people in it do not pay attention.
Unfortunately, the owners of the car "Ford Focus" box-robot reviews were not promising. We can safely say that it has attracted a lot of negativity and condemnation towards an American manufacturer. The first is not any drivers – the cost of repairs. Many write that after learning its price, wanted to resell the car and buy a “normal” with an automatic transmission.
But still has some advantages, this box is a robot. Reviews (“Focus” – not the only model, where he established a similar design) allow to confirm that fact. For example, this box car is equipped with the second generation. During the trip there is a maximum level of convenience and comfort. Work integrally, and the gear change is almost imperceptible.
In General, some consumers to buy a vehicle suggest, other – no. It all depends on taste, as serious flaws there. However, when choosing you need to think carefully and weigh, only then to decide on such a serious step, like buying a car robotic «Ford». Box-robot, reviews of whichwe've already seen – the most important item in the car, to its selection must be approached carefully.
