ADMF 116 - Industrial Robotics I


PROGRAM: Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020

Introduces the basic theory, operation, and programming of industrial robots and their applications through simulations and hands-on laboratory activities. This course will use lecture, lab, online simulation and programming to prepare students for C- 215 Robot System Operations I Certification through Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA).

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Identify safety hazards and apply safe working practices when working with automated equipment. [a,c]
  2. Demonstrate ability to create and set up a robotic work cell. [a, c]
  3. Demonstrate an ability to properly start up, operate, and shut down an industrial robot. [a, c]
  4. Create and execute robot programs in teach mode and playback mode. [a, c]
  5. Demonstrate ability to define tool center points. [a, c]
  6. Develop an understanding of various coordinate systems used in robotic programming. [a]
  7. Demonstrate ability to backup and restore robot programs. [a, b]
  8. Demonstrate an ability to recover robot operation from common faults. [e]
  9. Demonstrate an ability to monitor and operate robot inputs & outputs. [a, b]
  10. Create and execute MACRO’s. [a]
  11. Demonstrate an ability to create programs with subroutine structure. [a]
  12. Recognize how multiple robots, PLC’s, and CNC types of equipment integrate with each other. [a, b, c, g]
  13. Demonstrate an ability to edit programmed positions. [a, e]
  14. Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b, e,]
  15. Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
  16. Assess readiness to take the SACA C-215 Robot System Operations I Certification exam. [h]
