About Me

My expertise is in Fanuc robotics (20 years) both via pendent and Roboguide offline programming. I also have 2 years of experience developing PLC code and HMI displays using Rockwell Studio on a multistation line involving historical data logging. (PLC/HMI experience was gained after my first review below)

My experience is with many manufacturing processes including welding, assembly, material handling, material application (RTV/grease/etc), plasma cleaning, clean room operations, machining, and metal stamping. I have experience with machine vision (inspection and robot guidance 2D/3D laser), multi-arm robot controller setups, and Fanuc force tooling.
