3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 42830 and the following apply.
3.1 industrial heavy-duty mobile robot
An industrial mobile robot with a rated load of not less than 10 t, used indoors, outdoors or in mixed environments, with non-tracked navigation.
NOTE: If it is a composite robot, only the mobile platform part is covered, excluding the manipulator arm.
3.2 industrial mobile robot; IMR
A mobile robot used in industrial automation, based on its own control and capable of moving.
3.3 stopping accuracy
The deviation between the actual arrival position and the target position when the robot stops after reaching the target position.
3.4 repeatability
The degree of dispersion of the actual stop positions when the robot repeatedly reaches the same target position from the same direction under the same conditions.
[Source: GB/T 30030-2023, 3.4.8, modified]
3.5 safe braking distance
The distance traveled by the robot from the detection of a safety stop event to a complete stop.
3.6 time operating rate
The ratio of the robot's actual effective operating time to the planned operating time.
NOTE: The actual effective operating time is the time within the planned operating time that the robot actually uses to produce qualified products or complete effective work, excluding unplanned downtime (e.g., downtime caused by failures, adjustments, etc.).
3.7 mean time between failures; MTBF
The mathematical expectation of the operating time between adjacent failures, also referred to as the mean operating time between adjacent failures or the mean interval between failures.
[Source: GB/T 23567.1-2009, 3.7, modified]
4 Symbols
The following symbols apply to this document.
L: Maximum wheel circumference of the robot.
T: Time.
S: Distance between two points.
D: Safety distance.
