« back to classes page
Robot System Operations and simulation course is an introductory course that prepares individuals to operate industrial robots and other industry 4.0 technologies in a modern production environment. This certification is ideal for manufacturing technicians, maintenance technicians and IT professionals seeking to become versed in robot system operations.This course is intended for an operator, technician, engineer, or programmer who must set up, record, and/or troubleshoot programs on HandlingTool software package. The course is divided into two sections that covers the HandlingTool application and RoboGuide simulation. HandlingTool application covers testing, running, and refining the program and production setup. Recommended safety procedures are integrated into all training exercises. RoboGuide simulation covers creating a handlingPro virtual work cell that contains a FANUC robot with end of arm tooling, one or more fixtures for holding parts and a teach pendant program that moves parts from one fixture to another. The course consists of lectures, chapter reviews, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. In addition to lab exercises, a pre-test, and post-test are used to measure mastery of objectives. Leads to Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-215 Robot System Operations 1 Certificate and FANUC Certified Robot with RoboGuide Certification.

Notice

Please read: 

FLEX FORMAT: This course is offered in Hawkeye's Flex format at the second floor of the Automation and Robotics Center (ARC). Flex is competency-based and a flipped classroom: you complete the theory in the Learning Management System (LMS) online on your own schedule, then come to the ARC open lab to practice and demonstrate hands-on skills on the matching industrial trainers. You advance by demonstrating skill mastery of each competency, not seat time. Flex lab nights are Monday–Thursday, 5:00–9:00 pm, with an instructor and lab assistant on duty; the lab is also open for independent work Monday–Thursday from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm, and Fridays 8:00 am–4:00 pm. The subject-matter expert for this course is scheduled for Wednesday night; plan to attend that night each week for in-depth help and hands-on competency testing. Rolling enrollment: start any week. Refer to your registration form or class details for the timeline to complete the course from your start date. This course aligns with the SACA C-215 Robot System Operations 1 micro-credential and FANUC Certified Robot with RoboGuide Certification. The course fee includes two attempts at the SACA Silver (knowledge) exam and one attempt at the SACA Gold (hands-on) exam, administered at the ARC.

 

DEVICE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The online portion of this course uses a Learning Management System (LMS). Click for minimum device requirements to access LMS! Students without a qualifying device may borrow a Hawkeye laptop by requesting the Laptop Checkout Form; the student is responsible for repair or replacement costs if the laptop is damaged, lost, or stolen. Safety glasses (one pair provided) and closed-toe shoes are required at all times in the ARC lab.
