How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Universal Robots PolyScope, RoboDK, Siemens TIA Portal, Visual Components, GTE CBSF-75 Basic, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for measuring collision forces and pressures, on-site acceptance tests and SMED studies of reference changeover. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Assess the feasibility of collaborative applications.
Apply the safety requirements of ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066.
Design the layout and tooling of a cobot cell.
Commission and validate a collaborative cell.
Reduce changeover times using SMED.
