Product Information

Intended Use

The EMROX mobile manipulator was developed for professional and industrial automation applications with a precisely defined range of functions and a limited working area. These include, but are not limited to

  • Machine loading
  • Scanning, measuring, and testing applications
  • Handling and processing parts
  • Assembly tasks

The EMROX is equipped with various protective functions for safe operation. Nevertheless, it may only be used in environments in which only instructed persons are present, who have preferably been fully trained in working with the mobile manipulator and have at least been made aware of the existing residual risks and the permissible rules of behaviour.

Improper Use

The protective functions of the EMROX and the safety of its operation are based on the fact that all reasonably foreseeable situations have been adequately taken into account. It must therefore not be operated in open environments in which it can leave the intended working area in the event of a theoretical localisation failure. Furthermore, it must not be operated in environments that can change unpredictably, such as areas accessible to the public.

The EMROX must explicitly not be used in applications in which it may come into contact with persons who have not been informed of the existing residual hazards and the permissible rules of behaviour. This includes, but is not limited to

  • Guests and visitors without appropriate safety instructions
  • Passers-by
  • Children

Danger

  • The robot must not be operated in areas where there is a risk of falling down stairs, loading platforms or similar. This can lead to serious injury or even death!
  • The robot must not be used to transport people. Persons may not ride on the robot itself, nor may the robot be used to move other vehicles or trailers with persons travelling on them. Sudden movements or mechanical failure can otherwise result in serious injuries.
  • The robot must never be operated in the vicinity of guests, passers-by or other uninstructed persons. Otherwise there is a risk of potentially serious injury.
  • The operator must check and confirm that safe operation of the robot vehicle is possible both during initial commissioning and for permanent changes to the robot (e.g. superstructures and attachments) as well as for temporary changes (e.g. loading). Otherwise there may be a permanent risk of damage or injury.
