Project

The course project

Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.

About 18 hours

Two-wheeler frame welding cell on an AR1440: INFORM jobs, weld schedule, FX5U handshake and cell FAT

Design, program, safeguard and document a Motoman arc-welding cell in which one AR1440 on a YRC1000 welds motorcycle rear sub-frames on a two-station rotating positioner, with a Fronius power source on Weldcom, under a Mitsubishi FX5U cell PLC. You deliver the INFORM job set with its arc files and weld schedule, your own PLC-robot handshake table and risk register, an FSU configuration, a cell FAT record and the operator's recovery note. The sample pack shows what a welding-cell integrator hands over.

Sample document pack, 10 documents, filled in for the scenario

  • Cell layoutWeld Cell 2 Layout and Safeguarding: Rear Sub-frame Welding Cell
  • Risk registerRisk Assessment Register: Weld Cell 2 (ISO 12100, task-based)
  • SRSSafety Requirements Specification: Weld Cell 2 Safety Functions
  • I/O handshakePLC-Robot I/O Handshake Table: CP-201 to YRC1000
  • Control narrativeCycle Description and Modes: Weld Cell 2 Rear Sub-frame Welding
  • SDSSoftware Design Specification: Robot Job Set, Weld Schedule and Cell PLC
  • Test reportStopping Time and Distance Measurement: AR1440 and Positioner Sweep in Weld Cell 2

FAQ

Common questions

Which controllers are covered?

YRC1000 as the current generation, with DX100, DX200, XRC and FS100 where the videos show them; the pendant logic is consistent across them.

Is this only for welding?

Arc and spot welding get their own modules because that is where Motoman lives in India, but jobs, frames, I/O and MotoSim apply to handling and palletising too.

Is MotoSim free?

There is a trial; every MotoSim exercise can be done in it.

Is the Yaskawa Motoman Robot Programming course really free?

Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.

What certificate do I get, and is it a vendor qualification?

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.

Who made the video lessons in the Yaskawa Motoman Robot Programming course?

The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.

How long does the Yaskawa Motoman Robot Programming course take?

Plan on about 13 hours in all, including the video lessons, notes and practice tasks. It is self-paced, so you work through the fourteen modules at your own speed.

Is the Yaskawa Motoman Robot Programming course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.

Is there classroom robotics training in India as well?

Not on a robot. In our Bangalore classroom you learn how a PLC commands and interlocks a robot cell; robot programming itself is taught in our free online courses, not on a robot in the classroom. This free course is one of those online courses. Details are at edwartens.co.in/robotics-training-bangalore, and the programme itself at edwartens.co.in/courses/aep.
