Automatic braking systems
Automatic braking systems ensure operational
safety. They make it easier for the operator to
pay better attention to on-site restrictions and
specifications due to the work process. Auto-
matic braking systems therefore also make an
important contribution to increasing handling
performance.
In principle, the design of the automatic brak-
ing systems can be adapted to the customer's
requirements. The exact function must there-
fore be obtained from the order.
A sensor system mounted on the industrial
truck forms the basis for reliable detection of
the areas (zones) in which the truck must
brake or stop. Also see the section entitled
Overview of sensors
.
CAUTION
Automatic braking systems are assistance systems
for the operator. They do not exempt the operator
from a duty of care.
DANGER
Danger to life and risk of significant damage to
equipment due to malfunctions
Changes to the sensor system must only be carried
out by authorised service personnel. Every time the
racking is modified, assistance from authorised serv-
ice personnel is required. It is vital to check whether
the planned modifications have a negative impact on
the functionality of the automatic braking systems. In
particular, this includes changing the geometric di-
mensions, such as adding or removing uprights. Dur-
ing any repair work, it is vital to check whether the
sensor system for aisle detection or zone detection is
affected. The sensor system may need to be adap-
ted to the modified dimensions. To maintain the func-
tionality of these systems, it is important to observe
the information given in the system descriptions.
