Description

Learner Profile:

Learners should have completed the Intermediate 3-day Robotics or have proven experience with robotics operation, as this course builds on what was previously taught in the KUKA Intermediate 3-day Robotics course.

Learner prerequisites:

Learners should have basic PC literacy. 

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the course the learners will be able to:

  • Ability to operate a robot cell in a manner compliant with robot safety regulations.
  • Carry out the commissioning procedures mastering, and tool/base calibration.
  • Create robot programs with movements and logic functions.
  • Declare and use variables, loops and subprograms in KRL.
  • Create simple palletizing and depalletizing routines


Course Content:

  • Structure and function of a KUKA robot system
  • Moving a robot manually, axes and cartesian jogging
  • Commissioning procedures-Robot Mastering, Tool Calibration and Base Calibration
  • Executing robot control programs
  • Working with program files - creating and modifying programmed motions
  • Using logic functions in a robot program
  • Using technology packages for gripper operations and pick place applications.
  • Variables and declarations and working with simple data types.
  • Successful programming in KRL (KUKA Robot Language)
  • Using program execution control functions – input and output signal, local and global variables, conditional checks, loops and sub program call in KRL.
  • Introduction to operating a robot in conjunction with a higher-level controller i.e., Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
  • Introduction to arrays and structures (structs)
