This class offers lots of hands on pendant training with lecture. Class will go over a large amount of material from how to write a program from scratch to how to recover the robot from common fault situations. Class is setup to handle students who have zero robot experience and to students that already have a basic understanding.  Recruiters are desperate to find FANUC programmers all over the United States.
