The CSM was developed between FANUC America, APT Manufacturing, Rockwell Automation, and listening to the industry’s demands for employability skills today and what education needs to deliver this type of technology for preparing students for a smoother transition from education to industry on the first day.

This program will cover a complete manufacturing line, starting with raw materials and concluding with a finished product. Students will learn how to adjust the equipment for maintenance, production schedules, and cycle times. The program is equipped with RFID tracking to monitor parts throughout the line and features laser marking for part verification, assembly, pack-out, and palletizing. Different operations are wirelessly connected, allowing them to be removed and taught individually in a classroom setting. This setup includes Rockwell PLC, HMI, SMC valve banks, and onboard air compressors. Challenge your students by introducing faults for them to identify using the schematics or tracing wires and consider adding new buttons and functions to the PLC and HMI.

FANUC’s new robot controllers feature the new iPendant with enhanced screen resolution and processing capability. The new user interface, iHMI, can display guides for setup and programming, as well as tutorials from the main home page which has a design common to FANUC CNCs, enabling easier use of robots.
Using the programming guide, even first-time robot users can create a program for a simple handling task and execute it in just 30 minutes! Easier usage also improves efficiency by facilitating system setup and maintenance.
