6 Axis Robot Arm

This self-study course is designed to be taken at your convenience and on your own schedule. You have 90 days to finish the course from the time of purchase.

When it comes to manufacturing, speed, efficiency, quality maximization, and cost reduction are hallmarks of the six-axis robot.  Learn key foundational knowledge of the anatomy that goes into this rapidly developing articulated robot.  Discuss the fundamental concepts and terminology that small-to-major manufacturers are using to strengthen industries across the U.S. You will gain valuable skills in the specification of robotic properties such as payload and reach requirements, while learning how to startup, shutdown, and jog six-axis systems.
