AS INDUSTRIES look to add robot technology to the production cycle, operator safety must be ensured. Recently introduced operator courses from ABB offer robotics jogging licences.
The company has introduced a one-day robotics training course, called a Jogging Licence, designed to satisfy the training needs of Australian manufacturers.
The objective of the new course is for production personnel to develop an understanding of basic robot safety and the safe operation of robot controller systems.
According to ABB Robotic’s Greg Sale, there is an increasing number of people working in production facilities that contain robotic equipment.
“While personnel do not need to go inside the protective barriers of a robotic cell on a regular basis, when the need does arise it is important that people understand how to do so safely,“ he said.
The training will cover Introduction to the robot, documentation, presentation of the S4 or IRC5 robot system, manual operation of the robot, jogging window, input/output window, coordination of systems, TCP0, hands-on practice (system start up procedure etc.), introduction to quick teach, programming window inst/test, system errors, log files and practical demonstrations.
The course is carried out in the company’s dedicated training facility in Melbourne or can be arranged on-site.
