Omron LD-250 - Chapter 2: Safety; 2.1 General Hazards

Chapter 2: Safety
This chapter describes important personal safety considerations. All persons that operate an
LD-250 or work in the vicinity of an LD-250 must read and understand this information.
2.1 General Hazards
This section describes potentially hazardous situations and conditions.
!
WARNING: The following situations could result in injury or damage to the
equipment.
l
Do not ride on the AMR.
l
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit. Be aware that the maximum payload
decreases as the floor's incline increases.
l
Do not exceed the maximum recommended speed, acceleration, deceleration, or rotation
limits. See Center of Gravity (CG) on page 86 and Acceleration, Deceleration, and Rotation
Limits on page 74.
Rotational speed becomes more significant when the payload’s center of gravity is
increasingly offset from the AMR's center of gravity.
l
At speeds of less than 225 mm/sec, the safety laser is not active. There is a risk of injury
or property damage.
l
Do not disconnect the drive motor encoder cables unless required to do so as part of a
maintenance procedure. See Maintenance on page 141.
l
Do not drop the AMR, run it off a ledge, or otherwise operate it irresponsibly.
l
Do not allow the AMR to drive through an opening that has an automatic gate or door
unless the door and AMR are configured correctly with the Call Box or Door Box option.
Refer to the LDPlatform Peripherals User's Guide for details on the Call Box or Door Box.
l
Do not expose the AMR to rain or moisture.
l
Do not continue to run the AMR if hair, yarn, string, or any other items have become
wound around its axles, casters, or wheels.
l
Do not use unauthorized parts to repair the AMR.
l
Do not power on the AMR without its wireless antennas in place.
l
Although the lasers used are Class 1 (eye-safe), Omron recommends that you not look
into the laser light.
l
Sunlight and reflective surfaces can affect the AMR's laser operation.
l Do not operate the AMR in a flammable gas environment.
