In this course participants will work to solve typical sensor faults in a piece of automated equipment and fully understand the path chosen to correct it. They will experience scenarios where the sensor has failed, been wired incorrectly, has not been setup correctly, needs adjustments made, or was improperly selected for the current application. Upon correctly diagnosing the fault, making the repair or change, and verifying its effectiveness, the participant must state why they came to that conclusion. To accomplish this, participants will select and replace several of the sensors on a bottling line. While working through the challenges of integrating new sensors, participants will work as a team to troubleshoot the problems that arise during the process, test-out alternative sensors, and discuss what could be improved/modified to produce consistently good products.
Audience-
Anyone required to install, setup, or repair sensors

In this hands-on course you will learn how to safely operate a 6-Axis FANUC robot and manually control it in various modes such as Joint & World. Participants will become familiar with opening and editing programs, commanding I/O, work with Position Registers, as well as creating some of their own basic material handling programs. With this baseline knowledge of programming, participants will be able to follow the flow of a more complex program with subroutines. Using these skills, the participants will experience programs that will crash into fixtures, the DCS, other machine components, or need to restart the cycle with the robot still in the machine. They will learn how to safely jog the robot away and then use Position Registers to get the robot safely back to a Home Position. Upon discovering these issues the participants will Touch Up those points to avoid future crashes. Lastly, participants will learn how to use the functions within the teach pendant to aide in troubleshooting faults.
Audience-
Operators, Maintenance Technicians, Engineers assisting with the line

In this course participants will experience an array of sensors used in the automation environment. Each sensor has pros & cons and understanding those allows us to select the best type of sensor for the job. After this course participants will be able to select various sensors to perform a desired function based on accuracy, durability, consistency, price, size, and system integration. By working through real-life scenarios, the participant will then narrow that choice down further based on the stated objectives to provide a system that will not only provide dependability, but one that is cost effective as well. Participants will also gain an understanding on correctly wiring those sensors based on its configuration (NPN, PNP) and other hardware that may be required. Lastly, participants will apply what they learned to a bottling line’s sensors by properly setting them to in order for the machine to run optimally.
Audience-
Anyone required to spec, install, setup, or repair sensors.

In this intermediate program, participants will explore potential hazards in the workplace and ways to minimize or eliminate the hazard. They will learn the major features of the Mill and Lathe, the differences between the milling machine and the lathe, and the Cartesian coordinate system as it relates to both machines. Participants will learn the accurate measurement of linear, angular, positional and diametrical dimensions of machined parts using calipers, micrometers, height stands, thread wires, and test fitting threads with its matched mating surface. Participants will explore cutting tools for mills and lathes, discuss the best application of each type of cutting tool and learn about a variety of materials that cutting tools are made of and the coatings that can be applied to help extend tool life and help with quality of finished part. Participants will be introduced to feed and speed charts for calculating optimal feeds and speeds for machining based on type of material the work piece is made of and the material the tooling is made of. Participants will learn the formulas used to determine feeds and speeds based on the charts provided and manufacturer resources in determining best feeds and speeds for their particular tooling. Participants will explore the different kinds of threads, the critical dimensions of the thread, different classes of threads, measuring thread dimensions, the different process to cut threads and the most efficient process based on the application. Participants will learn different preparatory and secondary operations that may be needed to be completed before or after finish machining has be completed and receive an introduction to deburring, thread chasing, sawing, drilling, turning and milling techniques to either prepare work for placement within the work holding device or as a finishing operation.
Audience-
Participants with previous Mill and Lathe Experience.
