Practical Applications and Programming of Industrial Robots
This short course provides participants with a practical and applied overview of industrial robotics in manufacturing. Over three sessions, the course covers the fundamentals of robot-based workplace design, the implementation of robotic operations (e.g., pick-and-place and grinding), and the use of ABB RobotStudio for virtual simulation and programming. Participants will gain hands-on experience in configuring robot work cells, programming robot movements, and optimizing robotic processes in a simulated environment.
Lecture 1: Introduction to Industrial Robotics
- Historical background and current trends in industrial robotics
- Types of robots: industrial robots vs. collaborative robots
- Components of a robotized workplace and robot-cell design principles
- Overview of robot applications (welding, bending, grinding, etc.)
- Robot selection criteria and workplace integration
Lecture 2: Pick-and-Place Programming with ABB RobotStudio
- Introduction to ABB RobotStudio environment
- Setup and configuration of virtual robots and grippers
- Teaching robot positions and motion commands (MoveJ, MoveL)
- Programming pick-and-place sequences in RAPID
- Testing and simulation of a box handling scenario
Lecture 3: Grinding Operation and Tool Path Simulation
- Assembling a grinding robot system in ABB RobotStudio
- Tool geometry, TCP setup, and motion planning
- Advanced RAPID commands (e.g., RelTool, Offs)
- Programming and simulating a robot grinding task
- Efficiency analysis and performance evaluation
