Description
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to demonstrate fundamental motion control concepts common to industrial motion control systems. This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of the concepts, terminology, functionality and applications of motion control. Students will set-up and configure motion systems utilizing hardware and software common to industry. This course also gives participants first-hand experience as they learn about collaborative robot (“cobot”) platforms. Safety considerations for implementing robots into their workplace are covered, as well as fundamental applications for robot types. During the in-lab portion of the class, students learn how to program basic moves for cobots, different types of endof-
arm tooling, and their industrial applications are also introduced. PREREQUISITE: IET 214 Programmable Controllers; IET 246 Engineering Energy Applications
