Tape and Marker Application

Use the information in this section to understand HAPS tape and marker application.
Precautions for Correct Use
OMRON does not provide the protective coverings with the HAPS option. A protective covering
needs to be installed when applying the magnetic tape to the floor to prevent damage from the
AMR traffic. The protective covering must be supplied by the user.
The following considerations apply to the installation of HAPS magnetic tape and markers.
• The recommended length of magnetic tape is 250 to 350 mm (300 mm is optimal).
• The distance from one end of one marker to the end of the next marker must be at least 500 mm.
• The standard tape used is South-facing-up with adhesive on North. The markers always have the
opposite polarity of the tape. If the tape is South up, the markers must be North up.
To determine the distance between the AMR and its final alignment goal (such as a machine with
which it interfaces), refer to AMR Dimensions on page 2-3.
Since the AMR body is 1195 mm wide, setting a distance of 620 mm from the center of the tape to the
intended conveyor creates a gap of 22.5 mm between the AMR's side and the goal. If your payload
has an overhang at the side, you must adjust the width accordingly.
Apply markers 20 to 30 mm to the right of the main tape track as detailed in the following figure (a two-
stop arrangement is shown).
