FCU TIMS moved the production line robotic arm into the classroom

Feng Chia University actively promotes practical education. Prof. Zhang Yuanren, one of the teachers of "Factory Processing Practice" in the second semester of the 109 school year, specially arranged the first and second classes in the experimental field of the TIMS Center to lead students to experience "seeing and touching" "The robotic arm. Let the freshman understand the principle and application of the machine structure, establish a preliminary concept of mechanical function and operation, including how to use it correctly to avoid problems such as accidents.

"Factory Processing Practice" robotic arms perform grouping operations.Center for Taiwan Intelligent Manufacturing System (TIMS) of Feng Chia University is an innovative research unit subsidized by the Humanities Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology. It is also fully supported by the school to establish an experimental field and introduce hardware system manufacturers to jointly develop and cultivate talents. The platform that responds to the needs of various industries is also an important bridge for exchanges between Fengjia teachers and students and manufacturers. At present, the field has conducted many lectures through collaborative robotic arms and industrial robotic arms sponsored by Tia Luo Machinery Co., Ltd. and Taiwan Igus Corporation, respectively. It has also assisted civil engineering teachers and two groups of special students to conduct research to achieve Diversified application and activation of cross-department cooperation.

Chen Lihong's classmate's successful examples of PHM application technology were favored, and he successfully applied for an internship opportunity at AU Optronics.

Unlike other laboratories, the TIMS Center is an open experimental field. In addition to the above-mentioned robotic arms, there are also the smart factory logistics system sponsored by Swiss Sangbaitai Co., Ltd. and the enterprise resource planning sponsored by Jumao Technology Taichung Branch. (ERP) system. It is particularly worth mentioning that Mr. Zhang Yuanren led the Aerospace Fourth Grade Classmate Chen Lihong to carry out the failure prediction and health management (PHM) of the robotic arm. The successful application of technology in the TIMS center also enabled Chen to successfully apply for an internship at AU Optronics. opportunity. PHM technology is not only used in machine tools, but also in robotic arms. Interested teachers, students or manufacturers are welcome to come and communicate.
