“FANUC’s products and training are extremely respected all over the world. As an authorized FANUC certified training facility, we are very excited to be able to offer this training to people in southwest Michigan,” said Kate Miller, Director of Corporate Training at Kalamazoo Valley. “This course is a great opportunity for participants to not only learn how to use a robot but also to master a unique process that almost any industry with a warehouse could utilize. Participants for this class can range from engineers to line workers to maintenance staff.”
In this course, participants will learn how to safely operate a FANUC robot and also work with simulation software incorporating FANUC’s latest iPendant, during lecture, to aide in learning while combining hands-on experience in the lab using the FANUC robots.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to demonstrate:
· Safely operate the robot in T1 and Auto
· Getting past Singularities
· Setup and use Joint, World, User, & Tool frames
· Create programs that use I/O,Position Registers, Registers, and Motion Instructions
· Touch Up existing programs
· Create file and system backups and learn how to restore a system that has seen loss
· Use ROBOGUIDE to create a mock setup of a work cell and run a program
The course is led by Ian Salo, a certified FANUC robotics instructor. He is a graduate of Western Michigan University with degrees in Industrial Technology and Business Education. He has more than 17 years of experience using a variety of CAD software packages, nine years of Engineering Principles, five years in 3D printing and has recently added MasterCAM to his skill set. Salo is currently the lead instructor for all of the Mechatronic modules at the Groves Center.
The Groves Center, 7107 Elm Valley Drive, Kalamazoo, is a state-of-the-art, 70,000-square-foot facility that includes a Mobile Robotics Lab, 3D Printer Room, HAAS CNC Lab, Mechatronics Lab, Electrical Panel Lab, Computer CAD/ CAM Fanuc SIM Classroom and a 5-Axis FANUC Robodrill Room.
