This year, students partnered with two local companies (Research Product & ECHO US) to work with on real-world applications. Students in the course presented project proposals in Fall 2016. The department chose the three most popular and applicable projects to be developed with local industry partners. Students developed a timeline, bill of materials and basic design/programming concepts. Each group of two students then started to layout, design, prototype, build, assemble, wire, program, test, troubleshoot and debug their system.

This lecture is on how to use the Position Register motion element and the CALL command on FANUC Robotics Teach Pendant Programming to improve program execution efficiency and eliminate wasted moves. The [PR] or Position Register can be used to define a Point that is globally available (and the same coordinates) for any and all program, regardless of User Frame or Tool Frame specified. A demonstration is provided to show how the [PR] can be used to eliminate wasted motion from individual programs and make a set of programs run more efficiently.
