Department Description
Robotics TrainingAn increasing number of companies are turning to robotics as a means for increased production. Robots have an impressive range of applications, from "pick and place" for packaging, to welding, painting, or inspecting parts immediately after a process. However, robots are not foolproof; they require effective preventive maintenance to ensure they operate at full capacity. If a robot malfunctions, an experienced maintenance professional must know how to troubleshoot the exact cause.
   These robotics classes cover the major components of industrial robots, the common applications for robots, and axis movement. Later classes address vision systems, effective preventive maintenance for robots, as well as common causes of robot failure along with the ways to identify those causes.
