Chapter 8: Maintenance
8.5 Cleaning
Clean the following items on a regular weekly schedule.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK
Do not use organic solvents to clean any part of the AMR unless directed in
the cleaning instructions. Organic solvents might damage electronics resulting
in an unsafe operating state that could cause injury or damage to equipment.
Work Area Maintenance
Regularly maintain the workspace as follows:
l
Immediately remove any material on the workspace floor, such as dust, dirt,
grease, ice, or pooled liquid. Objects on the floor might interfere with safe driving
and accurate navigation. Any material that affects the drive wheel traction impairs
the AMR’s ability to drive, stop, turn, and navigate. Pay particular attention to goal
locations and commonly traveled paths.
l
Keep the AMR workspace clean and free of moveable transient objects such as pal-
lets, carts and furniture. Any objects that block the mapped permanent features of
the workspace (such as walls, columns and doors) can interfere with navigation,
causing the AMR to be less efficient.
l
Clean the floor at goal locations such as charging stations or pick up and drop off
points. Accumulated dust, debris, or grease can affect AMR traction, which reduces
positioning accuracy and repeatability, potentially wasting battery power.
l
If the HAPS option is installed, inspect and clean or replace HAPS magnetic tape.
NOTE: If you make a permanent change to the workspace, such as by installing
a large fixed machine, consider re-mapping the impacted area to incorporate the
change. Particularly if the change blocks the AMR's ability to scan original work-
space features.
