Chapter 5: Payload Structures; Safety; Warning Labels; Warning Lights - Omron HD-1500 Platform User Manual

A payload structure is any mechanical equipment that you attach to the HD-1500 for the pur-
pose of performing a task. It might be as simple as shelves to receive bins of parts or as com-
plex as a robot arm. In some cases, OMRON designs and constructs a custom payload
structure for a specific application. In most cases the OMRON customer or an integrator
designs and implements their own payload structure.
The HD-1500 provides the mobility and navigation for the payload structure together with the
electrical power and data signal connections required to operate a payload structure. This
chapter describes considerations and requirements when designing payload structures for the
HD-1500.

5.1 Safety

Warning Labels

The only warning labels that are shipped with the HD-1500, unattached to the platform, are
the No Riding labels. All other labels are installed in the factory.
For information on where to attach the No Riding labels, see: Attach the No Riding Warning
Label on page 108. Also, for information on label maintenance, see: Warning Labels on page 1.
Any additional safety labels for the payload structure or specific to the end-use application
shall be evaluated by the user as part of the risk assessment.

Warning Lights

Your HD-1500 must include warning lights appropriate for its application. In most cases, the
light discs and the light strips in front and back of the AMR provide sufficient light indication.
However, for large payload structures you may need to install an additional warning light
(user-supplied) to ensure visibility of the AMR.
!
The HD-1500 provides the following:
Colored light discs on each side that provide visual cues about the AMR's status and
l
its pending movement. See: Light Discs and Beacon on page 199.
Colored light strips in front and back of the AMR. Similar to light discs, these light
l
strips provide visual cues about the AMR's movement status. See: Front and Back Light
Strips on page 202.
Provision for an auxiliary warning light on the AMR Controller (LIGHTS on page 163).
l
You can use this connector to mount a warning light in a more prominent location,
which might be more appropriate for AMRs that have taller payloads.

CAUTION: To comply with CE requirements, an AMR must have a readily-
visible warning device, such as a flashing light (user-supplied) to indicate
when it is either ready to move or is moving.
