RC8A – Basic Programming & Operation (OH)

This class is an introduction to DENSO robotics hardware and software and serves as a good start for someone either new to the field of robotics or just new to DENSO robotics in particular.  The class begins with robotics 101, and moves through the safety systems of the robot, up through jogging, variables, teaching positions, to writing the first programs.  We review how the robot I/O works, how it interfaces with a PLC, and also how to perform the robot homing/calibration routine, and that’s all just on the first day.  On the second day, the students open up our offline programming software, WINCAPS III, and learn how to back up their programs and controller data, how to write and fully simulate programs offline, and more.

The purpose of this class is not to make any student a robot expert, but to give each student a level of knowledge, familiarity, and comfort with the controller and hardware, so they understand the fundamental concepts of the DENSO robot system and are empowered with the tools they need for problem solving and development when they return.
