Payload
The payload must be kept higher than the top of the AMR. If the payload or associated
structure blocks any of the AMR's sensors, the AMR cannot function correctly.
If the optional Side Lasers are present, ensure that the payload structure does not ob-
struct their scanning plane. This will affect the function of the Side Lasers and reduce
their effectiveness in detecting obstacles.
The total weight of your payload structure plus any objects carried by the structure must
not exceed the maximum payload capacity of the AMR.
Tipping hazards are more likely if the payload center of gravity is outside the recom-
mended specifications.
If a payload or payload structure projects or overhangs the outer dimensions of the AMR,
make the following considerations.
•
Contact your OMRON representative to change the size of the Safety Laser Scanners'
zones.
•
Repeat the safety commissioning procedure.
•
Modify parameters to change the AMR's Width , LengthFront , LengthRear , and poten-
tially its Radius . When making these modifications, ensure that the modified parame-
ters are used during path planning and obstacle avoidance.
Operating Environment
Abrupt appearance of objects or persons in the path of the AMR could result in personal
injury or property damage. You must make sure that the operating environment of the
AMR is adequately controlled.
The AMR is not intended to be operated on ramps or sloped surfaces. Using the brake
release button while the AMR is positioned on a slope of greater than 3% will cause the
AMR to roll down. You must not use the brake release button to move the AMR manually
when it is positioned on a slope of greater than 3%, unless necessary precautions have
been taken to prevent uncontrolled rolling of the AMR.
Use caution when stopping the AMR on a ramp. The use of the brake release will cause
direct rolling of AMR down the ramp. Powering OFF the AMR on a ramp should be
avoided if possible to minimize the use of brake release on a ramp.
Dust, dirt, grease, and water (or other liquids) can affect wheel traction, as well as opera-
tion of the drive wheels. If the drive wheels slip, it can potentially affect operating dura-
tion, stopping distance, and navigation accuracy.
Do not expose the AMR to rain or moisture.
An AMR can be unsafe if operated under environmental conditions other than those
specified in this manual.
