Seminar Program:

Drive Sizing

Practice-Oriented Sizing, Analysis and Optimization of Electrical Servo Drive Systems

Objectives

The seminar teaches you how to select the best possible configuration of servo drive systems using the CAE tool, SERVOsoft®. You will learn how to calculate several different applications and learn various options for analysis and optimization (selecting and optimizing drives, saving energy, the benefits of different motion profiles). During the seminar, we will also have the opportunity to examine current projects of participants.

In electrical engineering, drive technology is understood to mean the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy using electrical machines. This includes the power supply for the electrical machines as well as how to configure and control them. Usually drives are not standalone, but part of complex automation systems, where drive technology is an integral and very important component. Servo motors, together with appropriate drives and controllers carry out highly accurate positioning tasks, fast acceleration and shortened cycle times. Using servo drives can increase system productivity and efficiency. Exact configuration of the components of these systems is an important prerequisite. Planning servo drive systems includes all electrical and mechanical components. With optimal configuration, different applications can be achieved more cost-effectively and efficiently.

This seminar will work with SERVOsoft v4. Each participant receives a v4 PRO 90-day version. See What's New in v4.4...

Who Will Benefit

The seminar is designed for electrical, mechanical, application and sales engineers, with intermediate or advanced level experience in sizing servo systems, who want to take their knowledge to the next level with SERVOsoft as the tool to help them get there.
