   |  WLD 264B - Introduction to Basic Robotic Welding: Module B   2 Credits, 3 Contact Hours1 lecture period 2 lab periods
 
 Procedures and techniques in robotic automated welding. Includes safety, programming and operation procedures for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process using a Fanuc R30iA robotics welding cell, Teach Pendent Programs (TPP), and maintenance.
 
 Prerequisite(s): CAD 101  or CAD 117 ; WLD 110  and WLD 261 .
 Information: Prerequisite(s) may be waived with welding industry experience. Constitutes approximately second one-half of WLD 264 . WLD 264A  and WLD 264B combined are equivalent to WLD 264 .
