MECH 2720 - Robotic Design and Maintenance



Credit hours: 4 (3 hours lecture and 2 hours lab)

Course Description:
This course delves into the design of 5 and 6 axis robots. Students study the design of robots including the drive systems for each joint and the internal programming involved for joint movement. After the design of an industrial robot is understood the student will learn about maintenance of a typical robot to include servo motor and control and harmonic drives and how to replace components.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate the ability to:

  1. Understand the utilization of different axes robots used in industry
  2. Identify all axes of a robot
  3. Describe a typical servo drive and harmonic drive systems for each joint
  4. Perform PM on a robot
  5. Perform repair of drive systems on a robot
  6. Describe the proper protocol for safety in maintenance operations of a robot
  7. Troubleshoot typical robotic issues and perform maintenance to correct issues
