WLD	264B	Introduction to Basic Robotic Welding: Module B

Credit Hours:  	2.00	Lecture Periods: 	1.00	Lab Periods:  	2.00

Description:
Procedures and techniques in robotic automated welding. Includes safety, programming and operation procedures for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process using a Fanuc R30iA robotics welding cell, Teach Pendent Programs (TPP), and maintenance.

Prerequisite(s): CAD 101 or 117; WLD 110 and 261.
Information: Prerequisite(s) may be waived with welding industry experience. Constitutes approximately second one-half of WLD 264. WLD 264A and 264B combined are equivalent to WLD 264.

Course Learning Outcomes:   
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
1.	Demonstrate all safety protocol.
2.	Demonstrate how to set up power supply operations and safely jog the robot through different coordinate system.	
3.	Demonstrate how to write, modify, and edit new and existing welding programs 
4.	Create program and run a robotic welding project.
