54 Drive Technology and Motor Control > Project Kits Electrical Drive Technology Project Kits Practical Training with Industrial Components A new concept Vocational training should be as practice-oriented as possible and always include projects carried out by the learners. Projects are defined by open outcomes and require independent planning, implementation, and control — aspects that are not always fully achievable with traditional learning systems. Moreover, apprentices should have the opportunity to engage with the latest industrial technologies during their training. The new Project Kits from Festo Didactic, offered for the first time, address both of these needs. Highlights – State-of-the-art industrial drive components from Festo – Suitable for project work – High accuracy – Affordable price for training Configuration example: 2-axis handling with – 2x Drive Kit – 1x Spindle Axis Kit – 1x Linear Slide Kit – And a profile plate, if necessary Configuration example: 3-axis handling with – 3x Drive Kit – 2x Spindle Axis Kit – 1x Linear Slide Kit – And a profile plate, if necessary Exciting projects The first project kits focus on electrical drive technology and currently include the three packages listed below. The drive can be mounted on either axle using the included attachment kits, and the axles can be combined to create a variety of applications— such as two- or three-axis handling systems, sorting units, or lifting mechanisms. The only limit is your imagination! The inverters can directly control simple motion sequences. Thanks to their multi-protocol capability (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, PROFINET), they are compatible with all common industrial controllers. Learners have access to extensive original documentation for their projects, as well as a wide selection of tutorial videos on YouTube—explaining, for example, how to parameterize the inverter. This allows them to practice workflows exactly as they would in an industrial setting. In addition, numerous courses on our LX learning platform can help prepare learners for successful project work.
