Mechanical Brake Inspection Proce-
dure
Perform annual inspection of the mechanical brakes for proper operation. Before you begin, make
sure it is safe to manually move the AMR to an open area with level floor.
Use the following procedure to verify that the mechanical brakes engage and disengage properly.
1 Connect the pendant to the AMR and drive forward approximately 2 m in order to align the cas-
ters in the direction of motion.
2 Release the three-position enabling device to ensure that the AMR is in emergency stop mode.
3 Press and hold the brake release button and then push the AMR straight forward. One or two
people should be able to push an unloaded or lightly loaded AMR. For a heavily loaded AMR,
you may need more people.
You will hear a click sound when the brake release button is pressed and then the AMR should
roll smoothly. Contact your OMRON representative if the AMR does not move.
Refer to 4-17 Manually Pushing the AMR on page 4-35 for more information.
4 Release the brake release button and then try to push the AMR forward with the same amount
of force used in the last step, to confirm the brake is working. The AMR should not move or
rotate. This completes the mechanical brake inspection procedure.
If the AMR moves while the brake is activated during this step, stop using the AMR and contact
your local OMRON representative.
