Universal Robot Core Training

Universal Robot Core Training

KEY TAKE-AWAYS FROM THIS COURSE

  • Manage the robot safely understanding safety concepts

  • Build and optimize programs for several typical applications such as pick & place, palletizing, polishing or dispensing

  • Connect and handle peripheral equipment, such as sensors, grippers or conveyor belts

  • Know the online tools and resources available to help with application programming

COURSE DESCRIPTION

After the 2-day course, you will have hands-on experience with a UR robot. You will have programmed the robot several times to perform common tasks, including the operation of common peripherals (conveyors, sensors, grippers). You will be able to optimize a pick and place flow, perform palletization, understand safety concepts, and know the additional resources available to them both online and through other training courses. You will be ready to return to your own robot and create pick and place, palletization, and other common application programs on your own.

Please note that you must have completed the Online Core Training to be able to sign up for the In-class Core Training.
