Vivin Vinson BASICS OF FANUC INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

Are you stepping into the world of FANUC industrial robotics and don't know where to start? Basics of FANUC Industrial Robotics is the hands-on, beginner-friendly guide that takes you from zero knowledge to confidently operating, programming, and simulating FANUC robots - the same robots powering factories in automotive, electronics, and manufacturing industries worldwide. Written by an industry engineer with real-world experience across ABB, KUKA, and FANUC platforms, every chapter is grounded in actual shop-floor practice - not just theory. Whether you are an ITI student, diploma or B.Tech engineer, automation technician, or a trainer, this book gives you the structured, practical foundation you need. What you will learn inside: ? Types of industrial robots and FANUC's robot lineup (LR Mate, M-10, M-710, R-2000, CRX) ? Robot anatomy - all 6 axes (J1-J6), joints, payload, reach, and work envelope ? FANUC coordinate systems - World, Joint, Tool, and User Frame explained clearly ? How to teach TCP (Tool Center Point) using the 3-Point method, step by step ? R-30iB / R-30iB Plus controller - components, functions, and architecture ? iPendant operation - every key, menu, and operating mode (T1 / T2 / AUTO) ? TP programming - J, L, C motion instructions, FINE vs CNT, speed data, P[ ] registers ? I/O basics - DI, DO, GI, GO, AI, AO with FANUC symbols and RAPID examples ? ROBOGUIDE offline simulation - setting up a virtual workcell from scratch ? Common FANUC alarms - SRVO-001, MOTN-023, INTP-130 and how to fix them ? 3 complete practical exercises with full TP programs you can run immediately ? 20 review questions to test and consolidate your understanding Why this book stands out: Most robotics textbooks are either too academic or too advanced. This book is different. Every concept is explained in plain language, every procedure is given as a clear step-by-step guide, and every code example is taken from real automation workflows. You will not just read about FANUC robots - you will understand how to work with them. Ideal for: ITI and diploma students, B.Tech engineering students, automation and maintenance engineers, robotics lab instructors, and self-learners preparing for a career in industrial automation.
