Description
As a result of the exponential evolution of robotics over the last decade, this technology has become essential in modern manufacturing processes, offering added safety, repeatability, precision and quality. This course provides an overview of robot-based technological processes through a systematic approach of the basic concepts of industrial robot programming within manufacturing structures. The current concepts related to robot programming will be outlined and exemplified with real industry applications. This theoretical introduction will be followed by practical applications for the configuration: ABB IRB 120 programming using the operator panel, Siemens Simatic S7 programming via TIA Portal framework, RFID configuration, Profinet communication, vision camera, Sinamics drive configuration and multiple industrial sensors and transducers.
Target group: Electricians and engineers with application experience
Content:
• Introduction in integrated robot cells: automation structures, sensors, communication buses, drives, PLCs, RFID and HMI
• Overview of RAPID programming for ABB robots, Siemens TIA Portal programming for PLCs and HMIs
• Teaching, saving and adjusting robot targets
• Implement and modify robot movements between working positions
• Parametrization and commissioning for industrial conveyor with Sinamics drive
• Vision camera (3D sensors)
• Deployment of Profinet industrial network
• Pick and place exercises with industrial robots
• Product assembly exercises using industrial robots and multiple automation equipment
• RFID exercises for product traceability
Objectives:
At the end of this seminar, the trainees will be able to:
• Use and combine different hardware and software applications to deliver professional and quick solutions
• Establish communication between the robot and its external controller
• Effectuate the communication between the robot controller and a SIEMENS PLC, respectively a SIEMENS Sinamics driver
• Implementing pick and place aplications using ABB robot and Siemens PLC
• Implementing assembly aplications using ABB robot and Siemens PLC
