2.5 Environment 2.5 Environment It is the end-user’s responsibility to ensure that the operating environment of the AMR remains safe for the AMR. If there are areas that are not safe for the AMR to travel in, those areas should be physically blocked off so that the AMR’s scanning laser will detect the bar- riers, and the AMR will not attempt to drive there. These areas can also be blocked off with for- bidden zones in the MobilePlanner software, but that should be in addition to physical barriers. Public Access All Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies, Inc. LD models are is designed to operate in indoor industrial or professional environments.
They must be deployed in a manner that takes into account potential risks to personnel and equipment. The product is not intended for use in uncontrolled areas without risk analysis, for example, areas open to general public access. Use in such areas may require deployment of additional safety measures. Clearance The LD Platform is designed to operate in an environment that is generally level and has no narrow doors or other restricted areas that are too narrow for the AMR to pass through. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that adequate clearance is maintained on each side of the AMR, so that a person cannot get trapped between the AMR and a wall or other fixed object.
You should consult the applicable standards for your area. An exception to side clearance can exist at pickup and dropoff locations where the AMR must get close to conveyors or other fixed facility objects. The primary direction of travel of the LD Platform is forward. When the AMR is turning in place, with no forward movement, the detection of an obstacle in its path of rotation will not trigger an E-Stop. ! WARNING: IMPACT INJURY RISK: Personnel who work with or around the AMR should not stand close to the AMR when it is turning in place (with no forward motion).
Obstacles If the AMR will be entering high-traffic areas, the user must take appropriate precautions to alert people in those areas that an AMR might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, the user must adjust the AMR‘s and/or the other machine’s parameters to reduce the risk of a collision. 2.6 Intended Use The LD Platform is not intended for use in any of the following situations: l In hazardous (explosive) atmospheres l Uncontrolled areas, for example, areas open to general public access Use in such areas may require additional safety measures, and a risk analysis 20 Mobile Robot LD Safety Guide 18393-000 Rev H
