 QUALIFICATIONS FOR SUCCESS
Highly qualified employees are the most valuable asset in our industry – this is something about which KUKA Roboter
GmbH, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial robots, is convinced. That is why equipping customers for
economic success means not just supplying state-of-the-art robots, but also training customers in their optimal use at
KUKA College.
Our seminars offer each participant a custom-tailored concept for maximum results. The training is organized in modules
so that participants can gain additional qualifications step by step. Ideal for system operators, service personnel, pro-
grammers, robotic system designers, and also managers.

SHARING EXPERIENCE

The decisive factor for economic success is not the individual robot, but the complete system. Besides hardware, soft-
ware and customer service, expert advice and training play an important role. It is taken for granted at KUKA Roboter
GmbH that we will continue to be there for the customer, from the first informational contact right through to the appli-
cation.
Benefit from our many years of experience! Our KUKA College instructors provide realistic training – after all, each
participant will have to put what is learned to use in everyday practice. KUKA instructors know what they are talking
about: they possess practical experience, and have been trained in the theory and methodology of teaching. They are
thus able to make even complex subject matter easy for participants to understand.

 CERTIFIED ROBOT PROFESSIONAL

Certified Robot College

The path to becoming a robot expert has long ceased to be a matter of “learning by doing”. If you want to succeed,
you need qualified instructors – and optimized course contents. The contents of each seminar at KUKA College are
clearly defined. KUKA instructors can thus guide participants step by step to their goal – an optimal qualification.

KUKA College has available a wide spectrum of courses, from training in fundamentals, programming and servicing
right through to special application seminars. All KUKA College locations are certified to guarantee the same high
quality standard. All instructors are highly qualified, and the training facilities are state-of-the-art. In addition to
current robot types, other components such as external axes, bus systems and PLCs are also available, making it
possible to set up a variety of system configurations. High-tech training requires high-tech equipment.

 CERTIFIED ROBOT PROFESSIONAL

A highlight of the curriculum at KUKA College is the training program for qualification as a KUKA
Certified Robot Professional. The three subject areas of the training are aimed at robot service tech-
nicians, programmers, and administrators. In each specialist area, participants learn what is needed
to become a fully-qualified robot expert. Graduates’ skills are verified and documented by means
of a final examination in each area, leading to a diploma as a KUKA Certified Robot Professional in
one of the three technical fields: Robot Technician, Robot Programmer or Robot Administrator.

 ROBOT OPERATOR SEMINAR

In the Robot Operator seminar, experienced instructors train participants in the operation of robots in a system. Gradu-
ates have mastered the fundamentals of KUKA robot technology and can assist in commissioning work on robot systems,
can operate robots in accordance with the safety regulations, and can carry out point corrections on simple application
programs.

ROBOT SERVICE TECHNICIAN SEMINARS

Personnel whose jobs involve the commissioning, maintenance and servicing of

robot systems and the creation of simple application programs can benefit greatly
from our seminars for robot service technicians. Participants learn how to diag-
nose and rectify faults in controllers, drive systems and in the robot arm. A basic
course in Robot Operation or Basic Robot Programming serves as a foundation
for special seminars in Electrical and Mechanical Servicing.

 ROBOT PROGRAMMER SEMINARS

A robot programmer has to be able to create new robot programs, to mod-

ify existing programs, and to add new program sections. Participants in
these seminars learn how to implement automation tasks in the form of
structured robot programs, and to optimize program run times. They are
thus able to speed up production and make subsequent modification of
the program easier. Participants also learn how to work with the field bus
systems which are most often used for the control of robots (DeviceNet,
Interbus, Profibus).

ROBOT ADMINISTRATOR SEMINARS

Robot administrators configure the user interface for the robot controller,
define customer-specific and application-specific program commands and
integrate them into the robot controller. They also learn to make full use of
the robot’s potential and integrate it optimally into the production process.
This also includes the configuration and programming of external axes
and integration of the robot controller into a Windows network.

ROBOT APPLICATION SEMINARS

Spot welding, arc welding, grinding and polishing, adhesive bonding or

laser welding and cutting – all processes which can be made highly pro-
ductive through the use of robots. Special application seminars at KUKA
College provide training to programming personnel whose everyday work
requires them to create and modify technology-specific programs. These
seminars are conducted in cooperation with partner companies who are
responsible for the specific application technology.

 ROBOT SPECIALIST SEMINARS

Many tasks in the robotics field require specific technical knowledge. For
participants with expert knowledge of robots, KUKA College offers specialist
seminars aimed at programming personnel involved in integrating and pro-
gramming supplementary applications connected with the robot controller.
These seminars provide specialist expertise on such topics as communica-
tion with other system components, control of complete systems or visual-
izing production sequences.

SEMINARS FOR CELL PLANNERS AND DESIGNERS

Robotic cell planners and designers are responsible for the optimal integration
of robots into automation solutions. In order to give such robot experts the nec-
essary qualifications, special seminars provide an overview of KUKA’s range
of robots and automation equipment and their optimal applications. These
seminars show how to select and integrate the most suitable robots. Other im-
portant contents are offline programming, layout creation and simulation.

MOBILE CELL

KUKA College comes to you: “Mobile cells” are

available for programming seminars, and are
equipped with a robot and the corresponding
handling system. It is thus possible to carry out
robot training at the user’s location which is in
no way inferior in terms of quality and quantity
to that provided at permanent KUKA College
facilities.

If you need it, it’s in our program

Training is a dynamic process. Training concepts have to be adapted continuously to meet changing requirements.
That’s why ideas based on practical experience are always welcome.

If you have any suggestions or questions about KUKA or its course offerings, please call us on: +49 821 4533-1906.
