8.8 Cleaning
8.8 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, ice, or pooled
liquid. material 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 pallets,
carts and furniture. Any objects that block the mapped permanent features of the work-
space (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 pos-
itioning accuracy and repeatability, potentially wasting battery power.
l
Every 6 months, measure the floor’s coefficient of friction and make sure it is in the
range: 0.55 – 1.0. (See Environment and Floor on page 115.)
l
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 area to incorporate the change.
Particularly if the change blocks the AMR's ability to scan original workspace fea-
tures.
Platform Cleaning
The following table gives a summary of cleaning procedures for the LD-250.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK
Before working on drive assemblies, make sure that you put the AMR into a
safe state for maintenance operations. Press an E-Stop button or remove the bat-
tery. Make sure that its wheels are immobilized to prevent the AMR from mov-
ing.
