Project Kits

Vocational training should be as practice-oriented as possible and should always include the completion of projects by the learners. Projects are characterized by an open outcome and independent planning, implementation and control. This is not always fully possible with traditional learning systems. In addition, learners should also come into contact with the latest industrial technology during their training. The new Project Kit product series, which Festo Didactic is now offering for the first time, meets both these requirements.

Highlights

  • State-of-the-art industrial components from Festo are used
  • Are suitable for carrying out free project work
  • Come without course materials, but there is extensive documentation of the industrial components and in some cases courses in LX on similar topics can be used for preparation
  • Have a reasonable price

Project Kits electric drive technology

The Project Kits can be combined with each other, e.g. to create a two- or three-axis handling system, but of course also sorting or lifting systems.

There are only a few limits to the imagination. The inverters can control simple motion sequences directly, but thanks to their multi-protocol capability (EtherCAT - EtherNet/IP - Modbus/TCP - PROFINET) they can be controlled with all commercially available controllers.

Learners can access extensive documentation of the industrial components for their project, but can also find numerous tutorial videos on YouTube that explain the parameterization of the inverter, for example. This allows them to practise exactly the same way of working as is usual in industry. Courses on similar topics on our LX learning platform are also suitable for preparing learners for project work.
