Description

Course Aim:

This course will expand on the application knowledge fields of robot operation and programming to include theoretical contents from the fields of robot safety, cell design and configuration, vision systems, as well as fundamental legal aspects that need to be observed when commissioning. The participants in this course acquire additional knowledge needed to perform more advanced robotic programming tasks such as relative and absolute motion programming, programming functions, use of structures, geometric operations and creating workspaces. Cell configuration and programming tasks will be performed using an offline development environment. Participants will be introduced to creating new Robot projects, communication with a PLC, mapping inputs and outputs on the ready2_educate cell, and offline programming. Additionally, programming with simulation-based technology to create and test programs offline will be explored. Set up and programming of a “Robot Vision” system will be explored. The acquisition and processing of 2D images are used to calculate base corrections. The resulting base correction will be used to correct the position of the robot tool relative to the position of a component and to perform camera guided motions. (Pick parts based on the image results) By the end of the course the learners will have performed robotic commissioning tasks, set up a vision system, created programs offline using offline development software, created offline programs using Simulation software, and deployed these programs to the ready2_educate cell.
