ADM 2030 - Cell Integration

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 2Lab 2
Course Description: This course is an introduction to the basic control systems used to automate manufacturing processes. Course content includes: hydraulics and pneumatics used for motion control, PLCs programmable controllers, sensors and vision systems, robotics used in designing a computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) cells. This is a hands-on, team-based class giving students the basic concepts needed to design manufacturing automation systems. Students will use both hard automation and robots used in cell based manufacturing systems.
