Robotics Maintenance Technology

This program will provide the student with entry level competencies in installation, setup, and repair of industrial robots. Industrial robots perform the same functions as human operators and are utilized for welding, materials handling, loading and unloading of manufacturing equipment, which are performed repetitively, accurately and without fatigue. Often the operations performed are ones which would be unpleasant or hazardous for a human.

The primary objective of the Robotics Maintenance Technology program is to prepare students for entry level employment in the field of Robotics Maintenance in manufacturing industry. Students completing this program could gain entry level employment as maintenance assistants, maintenance helpers or robotic maintenance workers.

A graduate of the Robotics Maintenance Technology program will be able to:

• Demonstrate the skills necessary to succeed in industry.
• Demonstrate skill in setting up of industrial robots.
• Demonstrate skill in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic troubleshooting and repair of industrial robots.
• Demonstrate skill in setting up required interfaces by integrating robotics systems with other machines and equipment in the work cell.
• Have working knowledge of industry safety practices and requirements concerning industrial robots.
• Demonstrate skill in design and installation of appropriate guarding and barriers to prevent unauthorized entry into the work cell area and resultant personal injury.
