Robotic Training Courses
The real litmus test for any organisation seeking to fulfil its CSA contract to your company is
its ability to provide a wide range of training on the technologies it intends to support.
The technician arriving on site with a maintenance manual under his arm and a ‘try-as-you-go’
approach, for example, can, at best, only correct the maintenance or repair job at hand. The
technician who knows your system intimately and understands each component and its
integration within that system, however, can deliver overall optimal system performance every
time.
An in-depth knowledge and many hours of practical experience are the key components to
advanced training in robotics. It is these skills alone that serve as a measure of the
capabilities of any CSA provider seeking to secure your business. At MAR we offer our clients
training courses on a wide range of automation and robotic systems. Many courses include a
final assessment in the form of an achievement test with certificates awarded to all clients
successfully completing the course.
Following are the standard seminars conducted by MAR. If you are interested in any of these
courses please contact Jeff Fordham on 02-9748 7001 or email jfordham@machineryautomation.com.au.
1. Introduction to Robotics
The Introduction to Robotics seminar is aimed at personnel who require an understanding of
the capabilities of articulated (6 axes), parallel-arm (4 axes) and delta-style high-speed
picking industrial robots. This seminar covers:
• Robot selection
• Payload and reach requirements
• Sensor integration
• Human machine interface integration
Participants in this seminar are also introduced to robotic applications including:
• Materials handling
• Food industry applications
• Palletising
• Special purpose applications
2. Introduction to Robotics for Executive-level Management
This seminar is aimed at those managers who require an understanding of the capabilities of
robotic systems and the suitability of those systems for their facility.
Case studies relevant to the attendees’ industries will be presented to provide an
understanding of the specification procedure as well as quotation and implementation stages.
The participants in this seminar are trained in the fundamentals of:
• Robot system introduction
• Robot system integration
3. Robot Selection and Integration
This seminar is geared specifically towards those personnel responsible for the design and
project planning of robotic cells with articulated (6 axes) robots. The participants in this
seminar are trained in the fundamentals of:
• Robot selection
• Mechanical integration
• Electrical integration
• Software integration
4. Field Bus Technology for Robot Controllers (Kuka & ABB)
Seminar goal:
The seminar Field Bus Technology for the Kuka & ABB Robot Controllers is aimed at the
programming, maintenance, commissioning and design personnel who are implementing the
Interbus, Profibus or DeviceNet field bus system in conjunction with the Kuka KR C2 robot
controller or ABB S4C+ robot controller.
This seminar provides training in
• The basic principles of bus systems
• Configuration of master and slave systems
• Configuration of single-master and single-slave systems
• Commissioning and troubleshooting
5. Kuka Robot Training Courses
5a. Kuka - Electrical Servicing KR C2
Seminar goal:
This seminar “Electrical Servicing, KR C2” is aimed at the personnel responsible for the
electrical maintenance of robots with the KUKA robot controller KR C2.
This seminar is also recommended for personnel involved in commissioning the robot system.
The participants in this seminar are trained in the fundamentals of proper commissioning, fault
diagnosis and troubleshooting for the electrical equipment of the robot system KR C2.
5b. Kuka - Basic Robot Programming KR C2
Seminar goal:
The “Basic Robot Programming” seminar is aimed at the programming personnel for KUKA
industrial robots. This seminar provides training with regards to
• The proper and safety-conscious operation of a robot in a production environment,
• The modification and maintenance of robot application programs
• The creation of linear application programs (without branching and hierarchical
structures).
5c. Kuka - Advanced Robot Programming Part 1 KR C2
Seminar goal:
The Advanced Robot Programming seminars aimed at the programming personnel for KUKA
industrial robots. Building on the Basic Robot Programming seminar, programming knowledge
and capabilities are extended and deepened in this seminar. The main emphasis of the
seminar is the high-level programming language KRL.
5d. Kuka - Advanced Robot Programming Part 2 KR C2
Seminar goal:
This seminar you will learn about the use of external axes. This includes the operation,
programming, calibration and configuration of these external kinematic system (e.g. two-axis
turntables or linear units).
You will learn how to use a software tool to transform and optimise motion programs.
You will also learn how to use program commands to output a variety of robot messages for
the operator.
