Chapter 2: Safety
An AMR must often maneuver close to machinery, conveyors, or other fixed objects. In such
cases, operating standards usually allow an exception to side clearance requirements.
For information about software parameters that you can use to control the HD-1500's front and
side clearance zones, see: Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635).
Rotation Clearances
The HD-1500 travels in forward and backward directions. To change its direction, the HD-
1500 rotates on its center of rotation (turns in place). The HD-1500 has a full safety coverage of
360°, and therefore, obstacles will trigger a safety system event when the AMR rotates.
The HD-1500's Light Discs as well as its front and back light strips display a distinct turn sig-
nal pattern when it rotates. For more information, see: Light Discs and Beacon on page 199
and Front and Back Light Strips on page 202.
Docking Clearances
You should set a 2.5 m distance between the docking target (the goal defined in the map) and
the dock goal position of the AMR. This distance provides sufficient room for the AMR to
align with the docking target when docking. See: Figure 2-7. and Figure 2-8.
When docked, the distance between the AMR and the docking target is less than 500 mm, and
therefore, this area is considered to be a hazard zone.
