WORKSHOP
IO-Link Workshop: Discover Opportunity with a New Technology
Are you looking for a new avenue to achieve consistent cost reduction, high plant availability, and transparency? This is it! This offering is an open, standardized, and low-cost system for connecting actuators, sensors, and other field devices to the automation system. IO-Link provides systematic diagnostics and efficient handling of data at all levels.
This seminar will discuss how IO-Link offers a more efficient way of controlling and monitoring motor starters and other common components inside of a control cabinet. It will also demonstrate how IO-Link offers a much more efficient approach that can be easily implemented regardless of whose automation system is specified.
Attend the IO-Link seminar to get training that includes:
- Hardware overview
- Software overview
- Customer application examples
- Hands-on Labs to show how easy it is to create/test configurations

Universal Robots Core Training
Key Take-Aways from this Course
- Manage the robot safely understanding safety concepts
- Build and optimize programs for several typical applications such as pick & place, palletizing, polishing or dispensing
- Connect and handle peripheral equipment, such as sensors, grippers or conveyor belts
- Know the online tools and resources available to help with application programming
Course Description
After the 2-day course, you will have hands-on experience with a UR robot. You will have programmed the robot several times to perform common tasks, including the operation of common peripherals (conveyors, sensors, grippers). You will be able to optimize a pick and place flow, perform palletization, understand safety concepts, and know the additional resources available to them both online and through other training courses. You will be ready to return to your own robot and create pick and place, palletization, and other common application programs on your own.
You must have completed the UR Academy free e-Learning Core Track before attending this training.

TRAINING • 6 SPOTS • $1,800/STUDENT
Cognex InSight Explorer Spreadsheet STD & ADV Training
Course is a 2 Day training and primarily uses the Cognex InSight Explorer Software version 6.5.0. This course is a combination Standard & Advanced training using the Spreadsheet environment, and will focus on using many programming examples and camera images teaching machine vision and many of the STD & ADV vision tools.
Applied Controls will provided Training Laptops for each student. This training will use the Emulation Mode of the ISE software so we can focus on the use of the Spreadsheet environment as a developing and troubleshooting work space. Course workbook materials will be provided to each student along with a USB stick containing all of the PowerPoints, job programs, images, and software.
This training will not use cameras, lenses, and lights, so we can focus on the spreadsheet training of the software and vision tools. Continental breakfast will be provided along with a tasty lunch each day.
