Overview
Offering current, comprehensive coverage, INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS delivers a thorough introduction to the industry and a basic understanding of the subjects needed for starting a career in industrial robotics. It begins with a background on the history and development of industrial automation, then moves into subjects such as robot mechanical unit configurations, controller architecture, and general software structure. A general overview of programming and end-of-arm tooling is also provided.
The first edition highlights three subjects not typically addressed in robotic texts -- industrial sensors, vision systems, and maintenance. Sensors and vision systems are the eyes, ears, and fingers of modern industrial automation and robot systems. Numerous general maintenance concepts are presented to help prepare students for entry into the job market. The text also covers the economic aspects of robots in the workplace as well as the issues of human/robot interfaces.
- Offering real-world insight, INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS provides a basic understanding of the key concepts needed for students considering a career in industrial robotics.
- Its comprehensive coverage includes several topics not discussed in most robotic texts: vison systems, sensors, and maintenance.
- Extremely student friendly, the text provides information that is not robot or program specific –- meaning it can be used across programs. It is also packed with current examples and illustrations.
- Basic programming instruction definition and interpretation enable students to break a programming problem into its component parts, solve the component parts, and integrate them into a finished program.
- Ensuring students get the most from their study time, each chapter provides a list of key points, a summary of the key points, and a series of review questions to check their comprehension.
- Helping you maximize the success of your course, Instructor Resources include engaging PowerPoints, comprehensive Test Banks, and Answer Keys.
