SEW-Eurodrive’s DriveAcademy offers drive technology training to assist its clients in optimising their applications by providing them with a comprehensive set of skills. It offers product specific and general training related to drive engineering through well researched and tested training material, as well as training demo models. “There are 18 predefined courses offered in total, however, the DriveAcademy can customise courses to suit individual customer requirements,” says general manager of communications, Rene Rose.

According to Rose, the logic behind the DriveAcademy is to provide customers with professional training to an international standard, as this will enable them to obtain maximum value from their product, while assisting them in undertaking basic maintenance on units themselves. “The electronics courses are exceptionally well attended, especially Movidrive B, which is a more complex inverter. Our geared motor maintenance and repairs training has also proven to be highly popular to date,” she continues.
SEW also offers demo benches, which customers can purchase to conduct their own internal training. DriveAcademy training specialist Clive O’Reilly explains that the demo benches are wired according to SANS 10142 regulations in terms of safety and electrical design. “We provide detailed electrical drawings and installation instructions with each demo bench to ensure functionality and correct installation. Each user-friendly demo bench is supplied as a pre-fabricated plug and play solution,” he concludes.
