Programming Skills (7)
Notable Accomplishments. I was tasked to program an ABB cell to produce a 7 second cycle time. I was able to accomplish this in about a week. Later I found out that the cycle time was to be achieved with two robots instead of 1. This was a material handling robot for Delphi automotive picking and placing small parts to a dial.

Notable Accomplishments. I was tasked to program an ABB cell to produce a 7 second cycle time. I was able to accomplish this in about a week. Later I found out that the cycle time was to be achieved with two robots instead of 1. This was a material handling robot for Delphi automotive picking and placing small parts to a dial. At Schneider Packaging using Pallet Pro software, we could select the number of layers on the HMI, however, we were not able to select the layer the slip sheet would be on. I was able to modify the code so that Slip Sheets could be selected from the HMI.
