ED811 – Servo and Stepper Motor Drives - Basic

The increasing use of electrical positioning drives in industry has led to a skills gap that can have a negative impact on productivity. If you are a user of conventional pneumatic drive technology, this course provides you with the knowledge and skills to master the basics of electrical positioning drives.

Target group

Maintenance, Design/Engineering, Trainer
