Ron — Robotic engineer

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.

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.

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,

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.

Nachi spot welding with WTC 6000 experience in an automotive supplier for Honda. DeviceNet fixtures and Turk IO mapping

Motoman welding and handling experience

Possess only a working knowledge of and only conducted minor edits and loads- no from scratch creation experience. I would welcome the right opportunity.

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,

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+%.

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

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)

US Installation and service of all robotic and autoamtion equipment. This was the same role as I had with KL prior to the acquisition by Zoetis with the added task of training their techs.

Sr. Advanced Technology Specialist As site project manager, installer, and US service tech nationwide, installed 12 robotic cells, automated converging conveyance systems (1-5 line), Parallel Transfer systems, 14 palletizing conveyors, high speed counters (100k pph), retro fitted analog 45kpph counters to high speed including complete controls rewire and PLC conversions from Siemens to Allen Bradley. Serviced 16 Fanuc robots (grease, servo memory batteries, controller batteries, etc) and conducted 4 extensive reliability audits of over 32 offerings. These installations included reading blueprints and setting equipment, reading schematics and wiring power and controls for conveyors, and robots- lagging, recording teach points, creating additional travel points, testing (auto recovery, program, dry run and live run), connecting to PLCs (Micro, Control, Compact) through RS Linx and Logix or Studio Designer, to set Allen Bradley Powerflex 525's, check I/O's, etc., training operators, maintenance, and management in the commissioning operation and maintenance of lr 200s (with ir Vision), 410s (Line track Vision Cognex camera), and 710s and their associated conveyance systems (auto loaders, docking stations, in-feeds, etc). Rebuilt and installed separators, replaced PLCs, HMIs, and installed disinfecting automatic wash systems (1- 500pph, 1-700pph). Highlights: Point man for $2m, multi-phase, install for ground-breaking new technology Oversaw integration of three independent logics, including laser and vision line trac Installed 100s of on-site program edits to adapt functions to customer needs Wrote field program edits to successfully integrate with competitor's equipment
