Robot Systems Integration 1 Flex


Course number : 8110015    ID : 67712    Program Code : 001:FlexFA26

« back to classes page
An industrial robot on its own is just an arm. It earns its place on a line when it is integrated: reading sensors, driving solenoids, handshaking with a PLC, and holding a cycle time the rest of the cell can live with. This course teaches that integration work.
You will program, interface, and optimize industrial robot systems in an Industry 4.0 environment for pick and place, basic assembly, machine load and unload, and gluing applications. You will interpret existing robot programs, develop a sequence of operations and write the program for an application, enter programs and points with a teach pendant, wire on/off input sensors and solenoid output devices to the robot's digital I/O, interface that I/O to a PLC, and tune the result for cycle time. Program commands covered include three types of motion, speed, offset, data register, branching, digital I/O, looping, waiting, and macros.
This course prepares you to test for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-216 Robot Systems Integration 1 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 C-216 Robot Systems Integration 1 micro-credential. 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.
