What You Will Study

Unit 1 — Introduction to Industrial Safety Practices and Introduction to Industrial Robotics (8 Periods, 30%)

Fire Extinguishers & its Types, safely handling Tools & Equipment, Use of proper Tools & Equipment & its maintenance, OSH & practices to be observed as a precaution. Introduction of Robots and their Importance in Manufacturing and Production, Applications of robots in manufacturing and assembly for which they can be efficiently utilized, Role of robots and automation systems in boosting the safety at dangerous manufacturing tasks, Structure and functions of robot System (Basic Package) and additional Equipment, Major Applications of Robots-Pick and Place, Arc Welding, Ultrasonic welding, Part Transfer, Packing, Palletizing. Type of End of arm tools and differences between them: Handling tools - Pneumatic Gripper, Vacuum Gripper, Hydraulic Gripper, Hydraulic Gripper, and Servo-Electric Gripper. Welding guns – Arc Welding guns, Spot welding guns. Robotic cell and its various components. Cycle time and its importance. Operator job in robotic cell. Safety procedure for Programmer and an Operator.

Safety first, then what industrial robots are, where they are used (welding, pick-and-place, packing), their tools and grippers, and how a robotic cell works.

Unit 2 — Jogging of Robot (4 Periods, 15%)

Turn ON /OFF Steps of Robot, Checking Robotic cell Health, Introduction to Teach pendent and key functions, Industrial robot Coordinate system, Different coordinate systems in Robots, Defining X, Y, Z co-ordinate system, Jogging Robot using Teach pendant in different Modes of coordinate systems: Joint co-ordinate system, rectangular co-ordinate system, and User or object co-ordinate system, Tool co-ordinate system, TCP (Tool centre point definition) i.e., TCP File. , Creating user defined work objects i.e., user coordinate frame File.(Box, circle, triangle work object definition)

Moving a robot by hand with the teach pendant: switching it on, checking the cell, coordinate systems, and the tool centre point.

Unit 3 — Programming of a Robot Using Teach Pendant (6 Periods, 20%)

Robot Program Structure, Different Motion Types used in Programming (PTP, Linear, Circular, Spline): Move J (PTP) , Move L (Linear) , Move C (Circular) , Move S (Spline) ; Different Motion Parameters used in Program Point Recording, Basic Program creation using Motion types and parameters, Path optimization for smooth robot movement and cycle time, Safety instructions to be followed while loading and unloading of parts.

Writing robot programs: point-to-point, linear, circular and spline moves, and how to optimise a path for smooth, fast motion.
