Flexible Manufacturing Learning System 1

Robotics and Computer Programming

The Flexible Manufacturing Learning System 1 (94-FMS1A) adds to either the Robotics and Computer Programming 1 Learning System (94-RCP1) or the Robotics 2 Learning System (96-ROB2A) to teach advanced programming applications of robotic systems. Applications include linear motion, palletizing, barcode readers, digital gauging, CNC workcells, serial communications, multitasking, and interrupts. These capabilities are commonly found in the current generation of industrial robots.

The model 94-FMS1A provides real-world components students will use to create workcells that model industrial applications of advanced robotics. Students will develop flexible manufacturing robot programs, design and build interfaces, install automation components, and demonstrate the operation of live systems. Amatrol’s Flexible Manufacturing Learning System includes a digital gauging module, barcode reader module, servo traverse axis, FMS interface module, sensors, test components, student learning materials for theory and lab, and teacher’s assessment guide. The learning materials also support the use of an optional CNC machine module to demonstrate robot loading and unloading.
