This video shows the completed Capstone project by Carter and Collin. Students started with a basic 5'x5' #80-20 table, developed the idea, designed all tooling, and fixtures. Assembled all mechanical, pneumatic, and electrical systems. All robot, PLC, and HMI programming was completed by students. This proof-of-concept project was completed for ECHO USA, Inc. in Lake Zurich, IL.
Regular progress reports, full documentation, and simulated Factory Acceptance Testing had to be completed. To learn more or sign up, visit www.madisoncollege.edu/amst

![CALL, PR, REPLACE commands to optimize a TPP
Each student developed 3 programs. One for each number. Programs were tested and run individually. The assignment required them to combine all three programs into one, using the CALL instruction and to optimize program flow. Students accomplished this by eliminating individual home positions in each program and replacing them with a global position [PR] in the CALL program. They also improved efficiency (run time) by replacing all SPEED motion elements to the allowed maximum of 250mm/sec.
Students developed the script, narration and video in a small group setting.
All training is offered for FREE on state of the art equipment and software through a federal grant by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) in the cities of Portage, Reedsburg and Waterloo.
Students are enrolled in Robotics for Industrial Automation - level 1 funded through the EDA. CALL, PR, REPLACE commands to optimize a TPP](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j3zbRcR4xiU/mqdefault.jpg)
