The course contains no hands on training on the robot units.
The course consists of lectures and photographic material designed to reinforce what the student has learned.

Audience: This course is recommended for mechanical maintenance technicians or other persons responsible for mechanical troubleshooting and maintenance of the robot.

Prerequisites: Previous experience or training in a related field involving mechanical disassembly, repair, and assembly of robots or machine tools.

Training materials: Each student receives a generic handout written for this class. 

Facility:  FANUC Robotics maintains a complete training facility which includes:

• 8 classrooms at Rochester Hills, Michigan, plus classrooms in 6 regional locations
• Over 22,000 square feet of dedicated training lab space in Rochester Hills
• Over 50 robots permanently installed in our Rochester Hills training lab.  This permits a low standard student to robot ratio of 2:1 with a maximum recommended ratio of 4:1.
• Class rooms located next to our robot laboratory for easy access to training robots
• A full service cafeteria so that no class time needs to be spent ordering lunches

Instructors and Engineering support: FANUC Robotics has 20 certified instructors with an average of over 16 years experience working with FANUC Equipment.  Our Training Department is backed by FANUC Robotics full Engineering and Product Development staffs to ensure our training materials are accurate and up to date.
