Alan — Robot Programmer

I've been a avid user since 2000. The very first version I used was AutoCAD R13. I took a course to keep myself current. We used AutoCAD 2016.

Experience creating programs from scratch, tool frames, user frames, configuring I/O and mastering robots in educational setting with professional experience. Recently completed ROBOGUIDE Handling Pro course through Fanuc in February 2019 and obtained Robot Tool Handling Application Programming certification as well in 2016. I chose to attend Mott Community College for my certification because the robot classes were twice as long as the classes at Macomb Community College. Performed numerous roles such as Mechanical, Electrician and Pipefitter to build Robot Cells. Installed Many Fanuc and ABB robots in seventh axis applications. Installed robots in vertical and horizonal positions. Built, installed, maintained many robot EOAT devises and Lioni dress packs as builder and Industrial Maintenance Technician positions. Performed program offsets to robot in roles as Industrial Maintenance Technician and Automation Technician.

Working experience with ABB MIG welding, spot welding and material handling robots in production setting. Experience consists of touching off welds and correcting robots from crash positions due to misloaded parts working with Robot Studio, Rapid programming, Teach Pendant Programming and B&R Automation Studio.

I have installed many racks with these systems at work. I have no work experience programming PLC systems yet. I have taken PLC classes in college. Currently I'm learning more with my online myPLCtraining.com subscription. Have listed years build, installation and troubleshooting experience. Been practicing ladder logic working with timers, counters, latching and reset bits for over three years using simulation software.

I have built Mezanine Iron structures on a large scale with conveyor and elevators.

Adjusted robot presets for Bell Spray and Fan Spray applications including multiple Fanuc P-iB paint robots programmed for line tracking applications. Set up DCS in Diagonal and Manual Input. Experience with Creating Programs from Scratch, Editing Programs with Background Edit, Line Tracking and Boundaries. Performed cleaning and maintenance of paint application components and systems. We as a team achieved numerous Highest Conveyor Speed goals and set Record Good Parts Passed on various parts.

Started by affiliating myself with two weld cell programs to enable dry cycle runs with six robots and a trunnion in each weld cell. I had the opportunity to work a little with Fanuc's Interference Check interface. Moved on to programming a two-robot weld cell with a trunnion. I took the initiative to ensure the cell had power to the whole cell and notified the proper personnel to correct the issues with air leaks to operate the clamps. Was given four different robot simulations to use for optimum reach for the robot configuration throughout the program. I used notepad to manipulate the robot to reach the approximate robot targets and construct a program with zones, weld offsets that were pre-defined by the customer with necessary IO to rotate the trunnion and registers with all four different robot simulations using proper syntax. I took care to ensure the robot would reach the targets in the current state within the program by opening and closing clamps in the fixture when necessary to satisfy the sequential flow of the program.

Experience with IRB 4600, IRB 1200, IRB 120, YUMI robots and controllers. Have developed software programming for ABB Robot Controllers using Robot Studio and Rapid code. Worked with graphical Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), primarily using ABB equipment. Had been introduced to B&R automation Studio creating recipes to manipulate algorithms for motor controllers, IO and interfacing with ABB robot controllers. Used Solidworks PDM software to navigate through drawings for useful information. Created parts using AutoCAD software and water jetting. Installed devices to panel assembly and wiring during system builds making the proper adjustments to ensure functionality. Had traveled for installs of production equipment and systems.

Hired on as an Automation Technician, contracted through CitiStaff. Challenge Manufacturing is an metal stamping company that does a lot of welding as well as stud and bung installation onto their stampings prior to shipment. I am hired to handle more of the automation side of the production lines. I work with ABB and Fanuc robots modifying robot paths to create better welds as well as correct them from crash positions. Sometimes I will work with our Controls Engineer to correct issues with RSLogic 500 and 5000 as well. I tend to fill in the day with red light calls when applicable, I like to see the complications of build work and previous mechanical engineering flaws as well. Challenge has numerous cells consisting of control, weld and power panels, spot and mig welders, nut and bolt feed bowls, pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, THK rails and blocks, I/O blocks, cables, laser sensors, proximity switches, pressure and vacuum switches as well as numerous weldments.
