DriveAcademy schedule to begin in March

SEW-Eurodrive has released an updated schedule for its nationwide motor and drive technology training program, DriveAcademy. Based on the same in-depth technical training syllabus used to educate the company’s own engineers, DriveAcademy provides end users and system integrators with a comprehensive set of skills to get the most out of motor and drive technologies and applications.

“We have increased the number of unique courses to support the diverse products we have here at SEW,” said SEW-Eurodrive’s National Training Manager, Michael Stranieri. “For example, we have introduced special ‘decentralised topic training’ weeks, which includes five courses in five days. This training will provide customers with technical and practical knowledge for the following products: Movimot, Movigear, Movifit and Movipro.”

DriveAcademy training courses cover a wide range of topics, including maintenance and condition repair - covering maintenance and repair of SEW gearmotors and condition monitoring systems for preventative maintenance. Product-specific courses are also offered, providing insight into the implementation of some of the company’s technologies. All courses are offered for a variety of end users, including drive engineers, service application engineers, operations managers and maintenance technicians.

“Standard courses are offered in small class sizes to ensure participants receive a high level of personal attention,” Stranieri said. “This equips attendees with specific knowledge relating to our motor and drive technologies, meaning they are better able to leverage this functionality into their own workplace.”

The 2013 schedule begins with training on the Movitrac B series of frequency inverters in early March. More information on DriveAcademy is available at www.sew-eurodrive.com.au.
