THE PROGRAM

Don't just operate the robot.
Commission it into production.

PLASTEN ROBOTICS INTEGRATION — COMMISSIONING ENGINEER is a practical program for engineers who bring industrial robots into machine tools and production lines and keep them running.

Integrate

Connect robots to machine tools and production-line equipment, mapping signals and I/O.

Program

Write production-ready robot programs for handling, palletizing and process applications.

Commission

Carry out start-up and adjustment (commissioning) of a robot cell before handover.

Maintain

Diagnose faults, recover from collisions and repair robot systems in production.

6-WEEK CURRICULUM

From cell architecture
to a commissioned production line.

50–60 hours of structured learning, live workshops, assignments and practical cases.

WEEK 01

Robot & Cell Architecture

Mechanical structure, controller, safety systems and coordinate systems of an industrial robot cell.

WEEK 02

Machine-Tool Integration

Interfacing robots with CNC machines and PLCs, I/O mapping and signal exchange.

WEEK 03

Material Handling Applications

Loading and unloading of workpieces, gripper selection and part positioning.

WEEK 04

Palletizing & Auxiliary Systems

Palletizing routines, paint and spray systems, and conveyor integration.

WEEK 05

Robot Program Writing

Path programming, tool and work offsets, calibration and production-ready routines.

WEEK 06

Commissioning, Diagnostics & Repair

Start-up and adjustment procedures, fault diagnostics, maintenance and a final commissioning project.

PRACTICAL TRAINING

Real integration problems. Structured commissioning.

Students work through realistic robot integration scenarios rather than memorizing program syntax.

CASE 01

Robot Won't Reach Point

Diagnose reach, singularity and offset issues in a taught path.

CASE 02

Gripper Won't Release

Trace pneumatic, electrical and I/O logic for an end-of-arm tool.

CASE 03

Palletizing Sequence Out of Sync

Correct timing and positioning logic in a palletizing routine.

CASE 04

Machine Handshake Failure

Resolve an I/O handshake fault between robot and CNC machine.

CASE 05

Paint System Won't Trigger

Diagnose signal and sequencing faults in a spray/paint application.

CASE 06

Conveyor Timing Mismatch

Fix synchronization between a conveyor and a robot pick cycle.

CASE 07

Calibration Drift After Collision

Recover accuracy after a mechanical collision or accidental knock.

FINAL CASE

Full Cell Commissioning

Commission a complete robot cell and produce a professional handover report.

THE PLASTEN METHOD

Stop guessing at the teach pendant.
Start commissioning with a method.

Every integration case follows the same engineering logic.

01 Understand the application

02 Map the signals

03 Program the routine

04 Test in a safe cycle

05 Commission for production

06 Verify and document

FINAL ASSESSMENT

Prove your integration skills.

The final assessment combines theory, a robot programming task, a practical commissioning case and a handover report.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this course suitable for beginners?

This program assumes basic robotics or CNC exposure. If you are starting from scratch, we recommend the Robotics & Automation — Beginner Program first.

Which robot brands are covered?

The program teaches transferable integration and commissioning methods that apply across common industrial robot brands, alongside FANUC, Siemens SINUMERIK, Syntec and GSK CNC integration.

What applications does the program cover?

Material handling (loading/unloading of workpieces), palletizing, paint and spray systems, and integration with machine tools and conveyors.

Do I need access to a robot cell?

No. The program can be completed online using the provided cases and materials. Access to a real robot cell is highly beneficial for additional practice.

Can companies train several engineers?

Yes. PLASTEN can provide corporate and private-group training. Contact us for a company program.
