Program Description
An increasing number of companies are turning to robotics as a means for increased production. Robots have an impressive range of applications, from “pick and place” for packaging, to welding, painting, or inspecting parts immediately after a process. However, robots are not foolproof; they require effective preventive maintenance to ensure they operate at full capacity. If a robot malfunctions, an experienced maintenance professional must know how to troubleshoot the exact cause.
This Robotics Technician course provides an intensive overview of skills necessary for the robotics industry. Students will learn math, safety, quality, electrical systems, automation, mechanical systems, fluid systems, and rigging to prepare for a career as a robotics technician.
