COURSE # TRRMT40-701 – 4 Days
Description:
This course explains the concepts involved in creating
a work cell, defining the cell, making the necessary
modifications to settings in the Robot, as well as the
required modifications to settings and PMC Ladder
logic in the CNC. Topics covered also include teaching
frames and programs on the Robot, creating and utilizing
M-codes for operating the Robot within the G-code
program on the CNC, as well as operation of the Robot
from the CNC operator panel and operation of the CNC
from the Robot iPendant. This class will utilize the Robot
Connection Function on the CNC side (available on
FANUC 0i Model D and newer controls) and Machine Tool
Easy Setup option for the Robot (available on R-30iA and
newer Robot controls). These functions are used in this
class because they give the student the opportunity to
learn the underlying concepts involved in the integration
process. These concepts have been incorporated in
newer features such as Robot Connection Function II
(for FANUC ROBODRILL) and QSSR (Quick and Simple
Startup of Robotization).

Course Benefits
This course is intended to provide attending students
with the fundamental concepts and knowledge required
to perform an integration of a FANUC robot and a FANUC
CNC. The course will have students create a viable
work cell, to understand the software, hardware and
programming required to make a work cell that is fully
functional.
