Greenville Tech Foundation receives SCARA Robot from the Staubli Corporation
The
Staubli Corporation, with its North American Headquarters in Duncan,
SC, has given to the Greenville Tech Foundation, a new SCARA robot. The
gift is valued at $30,000.
David Arceneaux, Staublis Operations Manager-Assistant Division
Manager, said, We are quite pleased to be able to help Greenville
Technical College effectively prepare students for well-paying jobs in
our area. We have been quite impressed with the work we have seen done
by the instructors at Greenville Tech.
The robot will be used in the mechatronics lab at the Brashier campus to
train 45 to 60 students each semester, who are taking courses in
automated controls and robotics. Instructor Duane Anderson said the new
robot will allow our students to get more hands on time with all the
robots we use in our lab and also allow them to see how a SCARA robot
works and the advantages it has over other types. This is the only
SCARA robot we have in the lab.
