Vivian — Controls Technician

Troubleshoot faults in robot programs. Read/Edit ladder logic with Studio 5000/RSLogix. Use Structured Text to create new programs. Map new sensors to input modules. Address SMC modules using BOOTP. Find ways to improve cycle time and brainstorm continuous improvement ideas. Provide maintenance support when needed. Monitor automation processes to verify functionality.

Corrected problems by troubleshooting, adjusting tooling, opening fixtures, and replacing broken components (shanks, shunts, shot pin and clamp cylinders, electrodes, etc.) on robots and tooling. Find efficient ways for the cells to run and coordinated ideas with Controls to implement more efficient cycle times. Ran cables (ethernet, smb, auxiliary, etc.) through cable trays and leonies. Read and understand Structured Text on a teach pendant, navigate both Fanuc and ABB programs, modify weld/move/pick/drop points via teach pendent. Ensure all cells remain running and are problem free, making good quality parts.

Maintained equipment in operating condition by performing preventive maintenance and repair.
