Advanced PMAC Workshop
This two day course is centered about the use and implementation of advanced PMAC functions. This particular class is a custom developed session based on Advanced PMAC applications development. As a result, ample notice is necessary to assemble the proper materials. Students should expect to spend 60% of their time programming & debugging the advanced functions for their specific application. The introduction to PMAC workshop is a prerequisite.
Cost: $1250 / per person
6K Programmers Workshop
This workshop is based on Parker Compumotor’s 6K multi-axis controller capable of controlling both servo and step motor systems. Through hands-on exercises, students will learn to work within the Motion Planner software environment, develop 6K code and apply hardware features. The 6K4 and OEM drives will be used unless other arrangements are made. The class is focused on programming issues. Both servo and stepper drives will be used.
Cost: $450 / person
Vision Application Workshop
This one day course is designed to teach users about machine vision. Through hands-on exercises, students will learn the basics of camera setup, image acquisition, and image pre-processing. Students will also learn how to utilize a variety of vision tools to solve different applications as well as receive training on program flow, and communication protocols.
Cost: $450 / person
PLC Programming Workshop
This two-day course is designed to familiarize users with PLC ladder programming. Students will gain hands on experience with the creation of a simple PLC program, learn how to communicate with a PLC, and understand how to implement a variety of instructions to simplify PLC programs, and learn how to store data within the PLC. Omron PLC workstations will be provided for use during the class.
