C-103 Certified Industry 4.0 Associate III—Robot System Operations

Robot System Operations certification is an introductory credential that prepares individuals to operate industrial robots and other industry 4.0 technologies in a modern production environment.

This certification is ideal for manufacturing technicians, maintenance technicians, and IT professionals seeking to become versed in robot system operations.

This course is intended for an operator, technician, engineer, or programmer who must set up, record, and/or troubleshoot programs on the HandlingTool software package. The course covers the HandlingTool application, testing, running, and refining the program and production setup.

Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises.

The course consists of lectures, chapter reviews, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. In addition to lab exercises, a pre-test, and post-test are used to measure mastery of objectives.

Competencies

• Identify safety hazards and apply safe working practices when working with automated equipment.
• Demonstrate ability to set up and jog a 6-axis robot.
• Demonstrate an ability to appropriately start, operate, and shut down an industrial robotic cell.
• Demonstrate an ability to effectively define tool center points (TCP).
• Develop an understanding of the various coordinate systems used in robotic programming applications.
• Demonstrate ability to backup and restore individual files and programs.
• Demonstrate an ability to recover robot operation from common faults and errors.
• Demonstrate an ability to monitor, force, and simulate robot inputs and outputs.
• Create and execute MACRO’s commands within a robotic application.
• Demonstrate an ability to create programs with a subroutine structure.
• Demonstrate an ability to modify programmed positions.
• Develop an understanding robot Smart Manufacturing Concepts.

This training combines robot system operations (HandlingTool application) with a RoboGuide simulation. The simulation component adds an additional three weeks (9 sessions) of training.

This course is an introductory course that prepares individuals to operate industrial robots and other industry 4.0 technologies in a modern production environment.

This certification is ideal for manufacturing technicians, maintenance technicians, and IT professionals seeking to become versed in robot system operations.

This course is intended for an operator, technician, engineer, or programmer who must set up, record, and/or troubleshoot programs on HandlingTool software package.

The course is divided into two sections that cover:

• HandlingTool application
• RoboGuide simulation.

HandlingTool application covers testing, running, and refining the program and production setup. RoboGuide simulation covers creating a HandlingPro virtual work cell that contains a FANUC robot with end of arm tooling, one or more fixtures for holding parts and a teach pendant program that moves parts from one fixture to another.

Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises.

The course consists of lectures, chapter reviews, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. In addition to lab exercises, a pre-test, and post-test are used to measure mastery of objectives.
