The robot cannot detect objects between the robot and the cart, and it cannot detect objects
behind the cart (the robot does not reverse as part of the route; however, it can reverse when
placing a cart). For this reason, it is not possible to drive more than one cart at a time by chaining
carts together.
MiR250 Hook is a partly complete machine as defined in the EU machinery directive. Those who
design, manufacture, or commission a system that does not meet the limitations of use of
MiR250 Hook carry the obligations of a manufacturer and shall ensure a safe design according to
EN ISO 12100. Guidelines outlined in this manual are not sufficient.
NOTICE
