1.1.5.1 Danger Areas
Wheels
Due to their unique design, the four Mecanum wheels of the MPO-500 have a higher potential for danger than normal
wheels. Please mind the following in order to prevent injuries or damages:
• Never touch the wheels of the moving robot and also prevent guests, passers-by and especially children from
touching them.
• Take care that no part of the cargo or additional components (e.g. cables, wires) can touch the wheels.
• Make sure that the working space of the MPO-500 is free of all objects which might be caught in the wheels.
Different from normal wheels Mecanum wheels may not only run over objects but objects might also get stuck
in the wheels and might be moved along.
• In case additional safety measures are required please contact Neobotix. We will provide wheel housings de-
signed for your application.
Battery Drawer
Both the outsides of the robot and the battery drawer are completely safe to touch while the robot is in use. Neverthe-
less, opening the battery drawer allows one to reach into the robot platform and to touch powered components.
Warning:
Never reach into the robot platform while the system is turned on. There is risk of electric shock!
All cables and wires on the batteries and inside the drawer are placed and cut to length in a way that will prevent
damages during normal operation. Modifying or moving these parts might cause damage to the wires.
Warning:
Always take great care that no cables are clamped between drawer and platform or get caught in the
telescopic slides. Please contact Neobotix immediately when noticing any damages to the cables.
A robot with damaged battery cables must not be operated in any case!
