The increasing use of electrical positioning drives in the industry has led to a skills gap that can have a negative impact on productivity.
The content includes:
• Fundamentals of electrical drives.
• Linear & rotary mechanical drives, which include tooth belt, spindle, ball screw and torque motor.
• Motors (DC motors, AC motors - synchronous & asynchronous, servo, stepper).
• Brakes for electrical drives.
• Mechanical gear units for electrical drives.
• Displacement encoders (incremental, absolute, resolvers).
• Selection criteria for electrical drives.
• Controllers.
• “Positioning drives” (software tool).
Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
• Differentiate between the different types of mechanical drives (axis) and their constructions.
• Understand and know the characteristics, technical data and applications of the different types of mechanical drives (axis).
• Differentiate between the different types of electrical motors and their constructions.
• Understand and know the operation, characteristics, technical specifications and applications of the various types of electrical motors.
• Differentiate between the different types of brakes and gear units for electrical drives, their operation and application.
• Differentiate between the different types of encoders, their operation and application.
• Select the most appropriate electrical drive (axis, motor, brake, gear unit and controller) for a given application using the “positioning drives” software tool.
• Set up, commission, power up, and configure an electrical drive system.
