CNC & Robotics Welding

1. Title of the Course:

Robotic Welding

2. Aim:

To introduced to robotic welding systems as well as learn how to perform basic procedures on a system. To learn how to move the material from one place to another place & create welding routines program their own weld paths, and be able to store and retrieve programs and parameters.

3. Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge in Welding Technology

4. Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course students will be able to,

• Explain the construction and working principle of robotic welding.
• Demonstrate the material handling process using robot.
• Demonstrate different weld joints using welding robot.

5. Teaching Strategies:
