AMFG 2100 - Introduction to Robotics

4 Credits

Students learn basic concepts and skills in industrial robotic operations with emphasis on the Fanuc R-J30iA series robot controller. Students program, test, run, and trouble-shoot FANUC material handling application programs. Students successfully completing the course will be able to: Safely demonstrate power up and jog the robot, execute production operations and recover from common faults, create and modify material handling programs and macros, and utilize robot and controller input and output signals.

Note: The course consists of online curriculum, demonstrations, and a series of laboratory exercises using the Fanuc CERT training modules. Obtaining a FANUC CERT certificate is possible.
