Abstract
This course introduces the student to welding automation. It provides detailed instruction and hands on experience working with controls for welding automation and automated welding systems. The student will work with many types of equipment including the following: Automatic Voltage Control, Cold Wire Feeder, Arc Video Camera and Monitor, Longitudinal Seamer, Sidebeam and Carriage, Tilt and Rotate Positioner, Turning Roll System, Weld Lathe and Orbital Tube Welder.
Note: This is a hybrid course that combines the use of the computerized system you are currently using called NTER with in class lecture, laboratory exercises and experimentation. As a student in this course you will be either programming, operating or welding with automated equipment on most class days. The NTER portion of the course will help to enhance student learning, provide instructions and structure to the course. All students are expected to attend all class sessions at the campus. Computers will be provided at the campus for use in this course.
Please note that all course materials and content are provided in the IMS Common Cartridge (IMSCC) format. The content can be accessed by opening the IMSCC file using your organization's Learning Management System application (these include Blackboard, D2L, Canvas etc.). Additional information about accessing Common Cartridge files can be found on the IMS Global Web site: http://www.imsglobal.org/cc. Future plans for the Skills Commons Web site include a feature that will allow users to view and download course content that is provided in the IMSCC format.
