Automation | Industry 4.0

Learning contents:

• Fundamentals of sequence control & programming:

  • Use and declaration of variables

  • Loops and conditional logic (branching)

  • Interrupt handling and event control

  • Generation of user and system messages (smartPAD notifications)

• Tool management:

  • Automatic removal, pick-up, and return of various tools (marker, wire loop) in the magazine

  • Tool measurement and tool definitions

• Path guidance & continuous motions (pen & paper):

  • Teaching 2D path motions analogous to industrial welding, cutting, or gluing processes

  • Segmented, linear, and continuous motion sequences

  • Application of spline motions and automated path routines

  • Tracing predefined shapes as well as drawing logos (e.g., EDU, KUKA, Orange Intelligence)

• Fine motor skills & precision ("hot wire"):

  • Training high-precision robot motions in 3D space

  • Guiding an eyelet/loop along complex, predefined wire contours without contact

• Object manipulation & material flow (pick & place):

  • Gripping, moving, and precisely positioning the supplied cubes

  • Palletizing and depalletizing tasks using the integrated 9-compartment magazine

• Free path and air motions:

  • Teaching and visualizing three-dimensional free-form motions in space

• Wave table

  • 3D path guidance & spatial contours: Programming, teaching, and precisely tracing three-dimensional, wave-shaped spatial curves with the tool/pen

  • Tool orientation in space: Continuous tracking of orientation (tool alignment angled to the curved surface) for 3D contours

  • Tracing lasered reference contours: Exact guidance of the spring-loaded pen along predefined, lasered contour lines on the curved surface
