MODERN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTIC FUNDAMENTALS: A Practical Guide to Automation Systems, Programming, Motion Control, Machine Vision, Maintenance, and Smart Manufacturing

By Daniel K. Mercer

Want to master the skills that turn complex machines into precise, efficient, and reliable production systems?

Understanding modern equipment can be challenging when technical concepts, programming methods, control principles, and practical applications seem disconnected. Without a clear foundation, learners may struggle to interpret specifications, troubleshoot faults, improve performance, or understand how individual components work together. These challenges can limit confidence, waste valuable time, and make practical problem-solving more difficult.

This book provides a structured, practical learning experience that connects essential engineering principles with real-world applications. From mechanical components and motion calculations to programming, sensors, machine vision, workcell integration, safety, and maintenance, the book explains key concepts in a clear, progressive manner. Practical examples, worked problems, and project-based guidance help readers strengthen their understanding and apply what they learn to realistic technical situations.

Inside this book, you will learn how to:

- Understand robot components, mechanical systems, and technical specifications.
- Apply coordinate systems, kinematics, and motion-control principles.
- Develop programs and coordinate equipment through PLCs and sensors.
- Understand machine vision, inspection, and automated production tasks.
- Recognize hazards and apply sound maintenance and troubleshooting practices.
- Evaluate workcell layouts, production performance, and investment considerations.
- Explore connected production technologies, digital twins, and emerging applications.

Whether you are a student, technician, aspiring engineer, or experienced professional seeking to strengthen your technical knowledge, this guide offers a valuable foundation for continued learning and practical development.

Take the next step toward greater technical confidence and practical competence. Get your copy today and build the knowledge needed to work more effectively with modern engineering systems.
