Precautions for Safe Use
• Although the lasers used are Class 1 (eye-safe), OMRON recommends that you not look into
the laser light. The maximum permissible exposure cannot be exceeded when viewing lasers
with the naked eye.
• Lasers cannot reliably detect glass, mirrors, and other highly-reflective objects. Use caution
when operating the AMR in areas that have these types of objects. If the AMR will need to
drive close to these objects, we recommend that you use a combination of markings on the
objects (e.g., tape or painted strips), and also use Forbidden Areas in the map, so that the
AMR can plan paths safely around these objects.
Additional Information
Optional Side Lasers may be purchased and added for additional object detection. Refer to
on page 1-23 for more information.
Safety Laser Scanner
Each Safety Laser Scanner provides detection in a 270° field of view. Both Safety Laser Scanners pro-
vide a complete 360° range of detection area around the AMR. The lasers operate in a single plane
positioned at 175 mm above the floor.
WARNING
Objects in the environment, protruding out, above, or below the AMR lasers' scanning
planes shall be configured as forbidden areas during workspace map creation. This
will minimize possible collision risk during operation.
Low Lasers
Two Low Lasers detect obstacles below the scanning plane of the Safety Laser Scanner, such as an
empty pallet or fork truck blades, which are too low for the Safety Laser Scanner's detection plane.
The Low Lasers are positioned near the floor and can detect objects that are at least 65 mm tall.
The Low Lasers also detect obstacles that might be significantly wider near the floor, such as a col-
umn base, while the Safety Laser Scanners might detect only the upper, narrow portion of the column.

Drive Train and Suspension
The AMR utilizes a differential-type drive train with two drive-wheels. This drive train style makes the
AMR highly maneuverable and allows it to rotate in place. The drive wheels have solid polyurethane
tread for traction and durability. Casters are mounted to rocker arms and freely rotate 360° to provide
stability during operation. This arrangement allows the AMR to maintain contact with the floor over un-
even areas or bumps.
The drive wheels discharge accumulated electrical charge to ground. This prevents damage to sensi-
tive AMR electronics.
