Programming Robotic Arms, Robotic Training Courses, Robotic Simulation & Robotic Cell Design
What else we can offer?
Manufacturers of robots emphasize easy-to-use and modern programming robotic arms, as well as robot training courses and simulation tools. However, the design of a robotic cell must address the differences between conventional automation and robotic applications due to the larger size of industrial robots, higher power consumption, and the potential for serious injury.
Programming Robotic Arms
There are many software tools available for programming robots, and the choice of software depends on the type of robot and the programming language used.
Robotic Training Courses
Our Robotic training courses can be beneficial for both beginners who want to enter the field of robotics and experienced professionals seeking to enhance their skills.
Robotic Simulation & Robot Cell Design
Robotic simulation and robot cell design play a significant role in optimising the performance, efficiency, and safety of robotic systems in various industries.
Our Robotic Skills
With advancements in technology, robotics has become an integral part of many industries, including manufacturing.
Programming robotic arms plays a vital role in ensuring that the manufacturing process runs seamlessly.
Robotic training helps operators to learn the necessary skills to utilize the robots effectively while maintaining safety protocols.
Robotic cell design requires careful consideration of the production process, including the size and shape of the products and materials needed, to ensure that the cell operates efficiently. Additionally, robotic simulation helps to identify any potential errors or bottlenecks in the system before implementation, saving time and resources.
At our company, we pride ourselves on our expertise in all aspects of robotics and take a deep dive into the specific needs of our clients, enabling us to offer tailored solutions that meet their exact requirements.
Programming Robotic Arms
When programming robotic arms, robot operators use software commands or instructions that allow the robot arm to perform certain tasks. Moreover, robot programming is a well-organized structure that includes the use of pushbuttons to indicate when to start or stop the operation. However, the operator needs to consider each of these elements carefully when programming robotic arms. Please bear in mind that robotic software varies according to the robot manufacturer.
At this stage, operators need to consider the safety cell components. Mainly, the robot is a set of robust mechanical devices capable of causing serious injuries to the operator.
Steps for Offline Robotic Programming Arms
Here below is a breakdown of the steps that take place for the robot programming aspect:
- We build a complete robot cell simulation using the CAD data from the project (Fixturing CAD models, End Of Arm Tooling CAD models, Peripheral equipment CAD Models, and Guarding and Safety Devices).
- Define the TCPs (Tool Centre Points) for each element of the End Of Arm Tooling
- We define the fixturing and cell coordinate systems (Work Objects ABB, User Frames FANUC, Base Coordinates KUKA).
- We program the key movement positions via the simulation.
- Define the virtual IO.
- Create the offline program structure in some form of text editor, for example, Notepad++
- Import the programs into the simulation software.
- Test the robot cycles.
- We will send the robot programs and setup files to the customers after testing.
- The customer imports the robot programs and setup files into the robot onsite.
- The customer tests the sequences and reports back any areas requiring attention.
Robotic Training Courses
ABB Robotics training, FANUC Robot training, KUKA Robot training
We can provide customised training or robotic courses as follows:

Where the training courses are conducted?
Each of these courses can be conducted on your premises to fit your production schedules or preferences. After our robotic training, with our manuals for reference, you will feel confident enough to tackle most problems. However, if you need further advice, our support team is available to give guidance and advice while you are still learning.
As such, we recommend a maximum of three students per course to ensure a high level of practical experience.
Robotic Training Courses
Why should you provide robotic training to your staff?
There are several reasons why providing robotic training to staff can be beneficial. Here are some key points:
Improved efficiency and productivity: Robotic training equips staff with the skills and knowledge to work effectively with automated systems.
Increased job satisfaction: Offering robotic training demonstrates an investment in the professional development of employees. Moreover, this can boost morale, job satisfaction, and employee retention rates.
Future-proofing the workforce: With the ongoing automation trend, providing robotic training ensures that employees remain relevant and adaptable in the face of technological advancements. By equipping staff the company can future-proof their workforce and maintain a competitive edge in their industry.
Robotic training is essential in new installations and contributes to faster and more effective start-ups. However, robot operators should be updated with the latest robotic training due to new robot manufacturer specifications. For example, ABB Training, KUKA Training, and Fanuc Robot training vary between robot brands and continue to improve robot performance.

Maximise your investment with our robotic training
By investing in robotic training, you have the opportunity to maximize the returns on your investment. Here are some strategies to ensure you get the most out of your robotic training program:
Assess training needs: Identify the tasks that can be automated and determine the skill gaps that need to be addressed. Moreover, this will help tailor the training program to your unique requirements.
Choose a comprehensive training program: Select a training program that covers all aspects of robotic operations, including programming, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety protocols.
Customize the training to your operations: Adapt the training program to align with your organization’s specific robotic systems and processes.
Provide hands-on experience: Practical, hands-on training is crucial for building confidence and competence in working with robots.
Offer ongoing support: Robotic technology is continuously evolving, so it’s important to provide ongoing support to your staff even after the initial training program.
Encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing: Foster a culture of collaboration among your staff members who have undergone robotic training. Therefore, this maximizes the return on your training investment.
Measure the impact: Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the impact of the robotic training program and make adjustments to the training program.
Robotic Cell Design & Robotic Simulation
One of the most critical features of robotic cell design and its programming is safety. Therefore, cell design involves planning for a fully functioning integration process. Additionally, An industrial robot cell is a workstation that consists of at least one robot and its controller, along with safety measures. Generally, there are two types of robotic cell designs: steel and aluminum.
Aluminum is lightweight and easy to modify or extend without welding or painting. On the other hand, steel has a rugged appearance and is suitable for heavy work, such as metal processing industries.
Phoenix offers both types of cells, and you can choose the one that suits your work best. Our experts can also assist you in the selection process if you have any confusion in your mind.
Robotic Cell Design Safety Components
Whenever it comes to the use of sophisticated and complicated technology, like robotic systems, safety must come first. Moreover, it is estimated that between 20% and 50% of the cost of a robot installation is due to safety-related issues. Therefore, cell design is an essential factor that contributes to the safety of the integration system.
These safety features create a safe working environment for the employees to work on the robot cells. Because of this, some of the safety measures to protect human operators from physical harm are constructing physical barriers between the robot and human workers, emergency stop buttons, and laying out the equipment within the work cell.
Phoenix provides robotic cell design services before executing projects to ensure their effectiveness.
