DriveAcademy program dates released

The dates for SEW-Eurodrive’s DriveAcademy motor and drive training program have been released. The nationwide program will commence in late March 2014.

The DriveAcademy training courses are designed to provide end users and system integrators with a comprehensive set of skills to get the most out of motor and drive technologies and applications.

The combination of theory and hands-on practical segments used in each training course equips attendees with specific knowledge relating to SEW products, meaning they are better able to use this functionality in their own workplace. All courses are tailored to a variety of end users, including drive engineers, service application engineers, operations managers and maintenance technicians.

According to SEW-Eurodrive National Training Manager Michael Stranieri, the company is making it easier for more customers to receive training. “In addition to training offered at our DriveAcademy centres located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, we are offering site training for companies in country areas,” said Stranieri. “It is important that our customers are equipped with the proper training to get the most out of the products.”

DriveAcademy training courses cover a wide range of topics, including maintenance and condition repair - focusing on the 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 SEW-Eurodrive’s most popular technologies.

“The two-day Movidrive B operation start-up and troubleshooting course is a necessity for maintenance staff,” said Stranieri. “The course is centred on troubleshooting and recovering the Movidrive B frequency inverter from a serious error.”
