9.8 Making a brake test
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to perform an adequate test of the robot's
braking capability.
The braking distance of MiR200 is particularly dependent upon four factors:
1. The speed of the robot
2. The payload of the robot
3. The surface the robot drives on
4. The decline of the surface the robot drives on
Because of this, it is not possible to predetermine the exact braking distance of MiR robots.
The distance has to be determined in the environment and under the driving conditions the
robot will be operating in.
The goal of the brake test is to ensure that the robot will brake in time to avoid a collision
with a human or object when driving with maximum payload, with different field sets for
different speeds, and at the steepest supported decline.
If the measured braking distance is too long, the field sets of the robot should be made
larger to ensure a safe installation. This can happen if the floor has low friction, for example,
