Introduction to Robotics in CIM Systems - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

For one-quarter/semester, freshman through senior-level courses in two-and four-year colleges in Introduction to Robotics, Manufacturing Automation, or Production Design. Featuring a careful balance of theory and application techniques, this introduction to robotics shows students how to design and build a robot-driven automated work cell-from selection of hardware through programming of the devices to economic justification of the project. Written from a manufacturing perspective, it does not address robots in an isolated manner, but rather explores the broad topic of industrial work cells that contain a robot-including robot automation and all the other technology needed in the automated work cell to integrate the robot with the work environment and with the enterprise data base.

Contraportada

Employment trends in the field of robotics have changed over the years. Engineers and technicians no longer concentrate solely on robot technology; instead, they are capable of working on the entire production system. For this reason, any training in robotics must reflect this emphasis on the total system. The need for personnel who can design, develop, implement, and provide support for automated production systems with robots is significant and is growing.

This fifth edition of Introduction to Robotics in CIM Systems includes information about the hardware, software, and programming that support the implementation of automated work cells and manufacturing systems.

New in the fifth edition of the text:

• Goals and objectives listed at the beginning of each chapter.
• A career spotlight highlights careers related to the concepts being covered in every chapter.
• Updated information on safety and troubleshooting.
• A section outlining program commands for the Yaskawa robot.
• Major updates and additions throughout.
