Robotic integration, installation, and services for integrators and end users. I install, commission, program and service robotic cells in palletizing, material handling, packaging, vision guided motion, and welding. Primarily Fanuc and ABB, and Motoman. However i do have experience with Kuka and Nachi. I welcome all robotic brand requests.
Installed over 30 Fanuc robotic cells for various companies in the US and Canada. From single pick and place cells to palletizing cells that palletize a pallet a minute with single infeed to 8 pick conveyors, 2 robots stacking 8-1 conveyors. From picking and placing 200 eggs a move to vision oriented picking product packs at rate of 72 ppm. Palletizing from 7 to 45 cases a minute. Pick and place m430s that placed 68ppm. DCS safety dual zone RQE, etc. Typically with Allen Bradley controls, Cognex or proprietary camera and associated software. Panel view, ProFace, Maple and Cmore HMI.
Programmed installed or commissioned the following applications
bar code dtection
pick orientation
pass fail inspection
vision guided robot motion picking corn dogs, chicken packages, billet parts,
I carry the Rockwell Programming tool kit to program PLCs I have built programs from scratch zone control conveying to sequential robot communication with control or compact logix. From micrlogix 1200 to L32s to VFD 525/575.
Light curtains
Safety module configuration
dual zone dual check
Motoman welding and handling experience
Installed and assisted in the build and installation of over 12 robots in four cells that handled pkgs nearing 72 ppm using pick pro
Commissioned a press tending/degate/flame cell using RobotStudio with 6650, 4600, 2600 with safe move
Arcwelding applications include creation of program for saw blade sharpening table weld and x frame weld for a BMW supplier.
Possess only a working knowledge of and only conducted minor edits and loads- no from scratch creation experience. I would welcome the right opportunity.
Nachi spot welding with WTC 6000 experience in an automotive supplier for Honda. DeviceNet fixtures and Turk IO mapping
From planning and organization of the install to customer signed site acceptance I have installed over 30 units in the last 5 years. From 4 and 5 robot cells to single up cells with fixed station stacking. I have assisted in the build and factory acceptance of 16 cells in the last two years for one of my customers. I have assisted four additional integrators with their installations in palletizing, automotive welding, press tending, degating, food processing, pick and place, and food handling,
Part of the build, breakdown, and installation process is wiring. I have wired simple 200-300 wire cells to 2,000 wire plus cells. All of my installations have had some wiring to be done (over 30)
I have a broad range of manufacturer experience having supported Fanuc as an authorized integrator, ABB, Kuka, and Nachi for my customers. I carry Roboguide software as wel as RobotStudio
One of my passions is conceptualization to realization of new and innovative approaches to utilization of robotics. I have been able to be a key part of a few R&D projects. Two of which were highly successful in the plastics industry. In each case production goals were surpassed by 400+%.
Fanuc and ABB experience. From Roboguide PalletProTurbo to RobotStudio.I have installed over 20 palletizing cells in the last 3 years.
10 years of civilian experience and four years aboard ship as a machinist mate in propulsion engineering plants.
