EWI is pleased to announce a new addition to its slate of in-person automation classes, Robotic Vision Systems and End-of-arm Tooling. This two-day course offers an essential introduction to some of the more common end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) options as well as applications and robotic vision systems.
Structured as a functional overview for technical professionals who want to broaden their practical understanding of these topics, the course covers basic principles and provides hands-on experience centered around collaborative platforms. Day 1 covers applications that require EOAT, constructing the I/O for emergency stops, and robot setup, then closes out by having students create a sample use program. Day 2 provides a review of common sensor types (camera, optical systems), robotic integration, software configuration, and wraps up with a practicum on integrating a 2D camera with a pick-and-place system.
Taught at EWI’s Buffalo Manufacturing Works, Robotic Vision Systems and End-of-arm Tooling offers 15 professional development hours (PDH) upon completion.
The next class session will be held April 2-3, 2024. Interested in attending? Contact Susan Witt, Manager of Industrial Training, at [email protected] or 716.710.5538.
