Exercise 1: Introductory Exercise
Abstract
PLEASE
NOTE THAT
All exercise references are referred to:
R-30iB basic operator manual [B-83284EN_05]
In further exercises, we will just refer to it as Operator
Manual. (OM Section…)
Every exercise is based on knowledge acquired in previous
exercises. This means you should make sure that all the
knowledge in the exercise is known before continuing. If
something in the recapitulation is not known, or not very
clear, you should do that exercise again.
In the beginning of every exercise, we give you a list of
equipment, you need. You should make sure that you have
got all the needed equipment, because otherwise, you will
not be able to do every part of the exercise.
In this exercise, we will give you a quick overview of the basic
controls and knowledge needed for every other steps and exercises
on the robot.
After this exercise, you should be able to turn the robot on and off,
switch between the different modes and do some basic jogging.

Exercise 2: Simple TCP Teaching
Abstract
In this exercise, we want to show you the concept and the setup of
TCP.
TCP stands for Tool Centre Point and is especially important for an
easier way to jog the robot in tool coordinate system.
But not only in jogging there can be a difference. Also when
changing the attitude of the final flange (and therefor of the tool)
while moving, the tool will not move in a linear motion and the speed
will be different from the one of the flange.
At the end of this exercise, you should be able to understand the
concept of TCP and the use of this setting, and you should be able
to set a TCP with all the different methods available.

Exercise 3: Simple Robot Programming
Abstract
In this exercise you should learn the basics about programming a
robot and the different options available to program a robot.
After this exercise, you should be able to program a simple motion
and put comments into your program.
