Cutting disc question

Hi,
mower is running, but still working on improvements. From the mechanical side I see a problem in cutting disc and blades.
Very often blades stop turning around screw axis, because there is a grass between blades and disc :

Grass on the blade :

Do you have a similar problems? What's your solution? Blade position (upper/lower side of disc) ?

Thanks for feedback

Thank you, yes it's option. How big space you have for blades ? Are they completly free ? Can they move up and down or only turn around ?

I just took the disc assembly from the shop and mounted it with the blades on top. Unfortunatelly i cannot send a picture, because i am at work, but maybe tonight - if its not raining cuts and dogs.
The blades are mounted with the original bolts from the shop. They can turn freely and wiggle a little up and down but the main thing is, the disc protect the blades from getting cluttered with gras. I think Automower also has a disc under the blades.

Hi.
I think there is a problem normaly when you remove the blade the insert need to stay on the disc ? .
Yes the blade need to turn freely on the bold.
In fact this append when you mow a too hight grass, Normaly if the mower cut only 5 mm and Max 10 mm on dry grass this never append.
Please Glue the insert or you are going to destroy the disc ,I view a post on this but where ????
Thanks.

I don't see any problem as long as the blades are outside of the disc and cutting the grass.

Hi Wolfgang,
I'm also working on the new mower version 2018 named Black pearl. :)
But some of prepared modifications I will alredy implement on the current version. One of this is also shield. It's already in production. I reworked it from the system with ball bearing to the sytem with slide bearing. I also canceled inlets for screws which holds blades, but it's still 100% compatible with current plastic disc from the shop and very easy for production and very cheap.
Now I'm 90% done and will do a test to see how it's working. If it's ok, I will post more informations.

I hope the Black Pearl is water resisten in order not to sink on the grass ;)
I have to create a new chassis to be rain resistant. Therefore I am really interested in your solution.
