Modifications or manipulations in the battery may lead to considerable safety risks and are therefore prohibited. WARNING MiR1000 may drive into a ladder with a person on it. Risk of injury. • Don't place ladders in the robot's work environment.
Commissioning on page 78 prepared to the environment according to the guidelines. This is a prerequisite for safe usage of MiR1000. MiR1000 is designed for and all risks are considered when used with one of the following types of top applications: •...
2. Safety MiR1000 can be used as a partly complete machine as defined in the EU machinery directive, with top applications that do not meet above limitations. Those who design, manufacture or commission a system that does not meet the limitations of use of MiR1000 carry the obligations of a manufacturer and shall ensure a safe design according to EN ISO 12100.
For example, they must be aware that visibly marked operating hazard zones must be respected. 2.5 Foreseeable misuse Any use of MiR1000 deviating from the intended use is deemed as misuse. This includes, but is not limited to: •...
MiR does not take any responsibility for the creation of the risk assessment, but we provide information and guidelines that may be used in the MiR 500 and MiR1000 Risk Analysis Guide found on the Distributor Site under Manuals.
MiR1000. Refer to the MiR Fleet PC User guide for more information. 2.8 Safety-related functions and interfaces MiR1000 is equipped with a range of built-in safety-related functions as well as safety- related electrical interfaces designed for integration with a top module and/or top manipulator.

2. Safety This section contains safety precautions related to lithium batteries in MiR robots. NOTICE MiR does not support any additional batteries applied to the MiR1000 by the customer. WARNING Lithium battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if they are abused electrically or mechanically.
3. Product presentation 3. Product presentation MiR1000 is an autonomous mobile robot that can transport loads up to 250 kg1000 kg and pallets indoors within production facilities, warehouses, and other industrial locations where access to the public is restricted. Users operate MiR1000 via a web-based user interface, which is accessed via a browser on a PC, smartphone or tablet.
• MiR 250 Cart Carrier A top application that allows MiR1000 to tow carts with a payload of up to 500 kg. To read more about the add-ons, go to www.mobile-industrial-robots.com. 3.2 Identification label The identification label of MiR1000 is placed above the MiR controller behind the rear maintenance hatch.
1. M8 mounting holes for fixation of top module. For more information on mounting top modules, see Mounting a top module on page 119. 3.6 MiR1000 internal parts Most internal parts of MiR1000 are reached through maintenance hatches that open to different compartments: • Front compartment • Rear compartment •...

1. Connector for status light band 2. Drive wheel Top compartments The two top compartments hold interfaces to external units, for example MiR1000 EU Pallet Liftor MiR1000 Pallet Lift. To open a top compartment, remove the four screws and lift off the top cover.
MiR1000. 3.7 What does the robot see? Before preparing the environment for MiR1000, it is worth understanding how the robot works, what it can see, and what it uses for navigation. MiR1000 is an autonomous and collaborative robot that relies on localization techniques to orient itself in its environment.

3. Safety functions Safety laser scanners The safety laser scanners on MiR1000 are of the type AOPDDR (active opto-electronic protective device responsive to diffuse reflection). AOPDDR is a protective device that uses opto-electronic transmission and reception elements to detect the reflection of the optical radiation generated by the protective device.

'field sets' when combined. The active field sets are automatically selected based on the speed of MiR1000. A person or object within an active protective field will bring the robot to a protective stop and the robot will remain stopped until the protective field is free.
3.10 Limiting safety-related functions MiR1000 has several built-in safety-related functions that are used to ensure safe operation in the environment it is designed to be used in. Advanced control software ensures that the drive patterns are within safety related limits and thereby avoid triggering a safety function.

Safe load position The safe load position safety function ensures that the robot will not drive, while MiR1000 Pallet Lift or MiR1000 EU Pallet Lift is not in the lowest position and hence there is a risk of compromising stability.
External emergency stop button input This input is for connection of an optional emergency stop button. If activated, the safety system issues a category 0 stop followed by a controlled brake which brings MiR1000 to a stop. Must be manually deactivated by activation of the restart button.

MiR Robot Interface 2.0 Reference Guide. 4.7 Charging the robot A charger cable and an external charger is not part of the MiR1000 standard delivery. To charge MiR1000 using the cable charger: Open the maintenance hatch at the back of the robot. To open the hatch, push two buttons on the hatch and pull the hatch.
Surfaces The floor surface of the work environment must be dry. MiR1000 functions on many different types of surfaces, but some materials can affect the performance and safety of the robot, such as very thick carpets or slippery floors.
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to test if sunlight or reflections from high gloss materials affect the robot's performance or safety. Inclines, doorways, corridors, gaps, and sills MiR1000 can drive on 5% inclines, go through minimum 800mm wide doorways, and traverse 20mm sills or gaps. 5.2 Creating markers and positions This section describes how to create markers and positions.
Page 95
Issue: MiR1000 will stop if a person steps out in front of it. In a transient work flow area, the robot will stop and reassess its paths many times a day, thereby wasting valuable time.
Page 97
This may cause the robot to believe that there is enough space (if the posts are far enough apart) below the shelf to pass through. MiR1000 will then plan a path underneath the shelves, but when it comes closer, the camera will see the obstacle.
The robot can be used manually, see Driving the robot in manual mode on page 72, but the main way to use MiR1000 is by creating missions. Therefore, this section presents some key examples of good practices when creating missions. 6.2 Creating a mission This section describes what a mission is and how to make one.
Select Save to save the mission. The mission should look like this: 6.5 Handover testing It is very important to schedule time for handover testing. The new users of MiR1000 might have new questions after they start using the robot or new issues or situations might have appeared.

Future possibilities After the initial installation of MiR1000, it is a good idea to inform users of other possibilities they might find useful after having used the robot for some time. This could include: •...
The following drawings illustrate the center of mass (CoM) specifications for safe operation with different payloads. WARNING Load falling or robot overturning if the load on MiR1000 is not positioned or fastened correctly. • Ensure that the load is positioned according to the specifications and is fastened correctly.
VI, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Fee for disposal and handling of electronic waste of Mobile Industrial Robots A/S robots sold on the Danish market is prepaid to DPA-system by Mobile Industrial Robots A/S. Importers in countries covered by the European WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU must make their own registration to the national WEEE register of their country.
The emergency stop circuit in the robot runs through all four emergency stop buttons and through pins 1-4. If the circuit is broken, MiR1000 enters protective stop. To complete the circuit, you must connect pins 1 and 3 together and pins 2 and 4. If you have any emergency stop buttons on your top application, they can be connected to the emergency stop circuit through these pins.
