Tri Rivers RAMTEC web FANUC 2D iRVision Certificate

Tri-Rivers RAMTEC—first high school in nation to earn FANUC 2D iRVision Certification

Twelve Tri-Rivers/RAMTEC Level 2 Engineering Technologies students recently became the first high school students in the nation to earn a FANUC 2D iRVision Certificate, according to Mark Edington, their Robotics instructor.

This course covers Handling Tool Applications and Advance TP programming.  The students had to demonstrate hands-on skills including: Advanced Control Structure, Advanced Coding of Programs, 2D Vision Process, Vision Concept and Error And Fault Recovery.

“This is quite an accomplishment for our students and the Marion community,” said Ritch Ramey, the students Engineering Technologies instructor. “We are so fortunate to have a certified trained instructor like Mark Edington in our Central Ohio community.”

Robot Vision applications are widely used in 21st century Automation and Integration systems, explained Edington. “Vision is used for “Quality Checks”, Part recognition, and various robot functions.”

Ramey said, “We are looking forward to our students using their FANUC iRVision industrial certification and training in school and in their future careers as they help over come the critical shortage of highly skilled Robotic and Maintenance Technicians.”

Edington said this training is part of providing skills that will help solve the national “Manufacturing Gap” over the next five years throughout the United States.

Welding with sparks

New Welding Classes in Tri-Rivers RAMTEC

https://www.ramtecohio.com/training/industry/welding-fabrication/

Welding is one of the few career choices that is in high demand at all times. To meet those demands Tri-Rivers Center for Adult Education is offering three part-time classes and one full-time class in their state of the art RAMTEC training center on the Tri-Rivers campus, 2222 Marion-Mt. Gilead Rd, Marion, Ohio. 

Part Time Welding Course Offerings

“Since welders are needed in almost every industry, it gives them the flexibility to switch industries without changing careers,” said Retterer. “Most career choices have ups and downs; whereas, welding has endless opportunities that keep fueling the demand for welders.”

The three part-time classes include:

• Introduction to Welding, which is designed to instruct students in welding safety and welding techniques.  

• Basic Welding  teaches students the basic knowledge of shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding and oxyacetylene cutting. 

• Advanced Welding is for the individual in the field of welding with experience in arc welding and/or has completed the Basic Welding program. 

The full-time 650-hour Tri-Rivers Adult Education Welding program in RAMTEC starts January 8th, 2018 and runs through June 13, 2018, Monday through Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm, said Retterer. “This program covers the basics of Shielded Metal Arc Welding Flux Cored Arc Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding with structural fabrication skills and hands-on practice and skill attainment lab sessions

The full-time welding program gives students the opportunity to earn industrial certifications, said Retterer.

Tri-Rivers RAMTEC is hosting an event to celebrate Manufacturing Day on October 13, 9am to 4pm, including a facility tour, a VEX Robotics Competition, and for the first time, an industrial robotics contest. Ritch Ramey, Engineering Coordinator for RAMTEC, said, “Students are thirsting for more real-world robotics applications experience.” He hopes the industrial robotics contest will become a national competition.

 

The event, sponsored by the PRIME (Partnership Response In Manufacturing Education), Honda Foundation, FANUC and Yaskawa Motoman Robotics, in coordination with Robotic Industries Association (ria), Consolidated Electric Cooperative, Inc, National Robotics Challenge, (NRC), REC Foundation and RAMTEC Vex Robotics League, is open to the public.

“We are encouraging area high school students, college students, adults and regional manufacturing technicians to attend,” said Ritch Ramey. “Our goal is to draw attention to the outstanding opportunities that a career in manufacturing can provide.

“Over the next decade, it is estimated that nearly 3.5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs will be needed and 2 million of those jobs are expected to go unfilled due to manufacturers’ inability to find talent with the required skills,” said Ramey. “These numbers dramatically underscore the importance of introducing as many people as possible to the significant role played by manufacturing in Ohio and the entire nation.”

Manufacturing Day will show students how math, science, engineering and problem solving tie into real-world applications,” said Ramey. “They will see this and experience the relationship between STEM and manufacturing and what types of careers are available in the manufacturing field.

Exhibits and demonstrations will  include: FANUC Robotics Industrial Robotics Contest, Motoman Robotics Industrial Robotics contest, Vex Starstruck contest, Fastech MasterCAM , Sandvik Tools, Lincoln Technical College, Honda, Universal Robotics, Miller Augmented Welder, National Guard Mobile trailer, Robotics Educational Contest Foundation (RECF), Lincoln Electric Welding, Parker Hydraulics, Allen-Bradley PLC,  Mitsubishi PLC and Omron PLC.

RAMTEC was created to provide a technically trained, highly skilled workforce to promote the creation and expansion of business and industry through robotics and advanced manufacturing technologies.
