In an item on TMCnet this week, industrial robots supplier ABB Robotics announced a partnership with Vincennes University to enhance the Indiana college's vocational and technical robotic training.
The deal would also reportedly give ABB an authorized training facility in the central Midwest.
Vincennes is no stranger to teaching students about robotics. The University launched its original Associate of Science Degree in Robotics Technology in 1983, and since then has expanded its related curriculum to include Computer-Integrated Manufacturing which includes Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Automated Process Control, Elecrical Machine Control, Mechanical Drive Systems, Motor Control Systems, Robot Programming and Servicing, Industrial Networking, plus other courses in automation.
Under the agreement, 29 ABB robots and related work cells, software and controllers will be installed into VU's newly opened $9 million industrial training facility, the Indiana Center for Applied Technology (ICAT).
