Programming FANUC robots at the teach pendant

What this covers

Integration, not just programming

Robot work here is full integration — not just writing TP programs. It spans cell design, mechanical fit-up, electrical wiring, PLC handshake design, safety architecture, and commissioning. The FANUC CNC tending cell is the clearest example: built from scratch as a complete system.

I work primarily with FANUC robots (R-2000 series, M-20, LR Mate), using Roboguide for simulation and offline programming, and the teach pendant for on-machine work. FANUC-certified through FANUC UK courses.

CNC tending

FANUC robot integrated with CNC machine — part load/unload, door signals, and cycle management.

Cell design

Full cell layout from floor plan through to guarding, access, and service routing.

Offline simulation

Roboguide simulation for reach studies, cycle time estimates, and offline program development.

Commissioning

Full commissioning plan with acceptance checks and handover documentation.
