Mobile Robot LD Safety Guide
OMRON provides other sources for more safety information:
The Mobile Robot LD Safety Guide provides detailed information on safety for LD Platform-based mobile
robots. It also gives resources for information on relevant standards.
It ships with each mobile robot.
4.8 Risk Assessment
Omron as manufacturer are aware of our duties and responsibilities regarding the development,
manufacturing and placing of safe mobile robots on the market and consistently implement them. However,
Omron have no direct influence on the usage of our mobile robots. As a precaution, we point out the
following:
The assembler incorporating the LD mobile robot into the final machinery, are obligated by law to ensure
that a risk assessment is carried out in order to determine the health and safety requirements which apply to
the whole machinery. The machinery must then be designed and constructed taking into account the results
of the risk assessment.
Omron strongly recommends the assembler, to use EN ISO 12100 for this risk assessment.
The risk assessment and its outcome must be documented in the Assembler’s Technical file for machinery,
conform ANNEX VII of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE.
4.9 EHSRs fulfilled
The LD mobile robot as a partly completed machinery, fulfils the following essential requirements of the EC
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC:
