Training Course - Controller Training

Led by maxon’s qualified engineers, this event is ideal for engineers wanting to learn motion control principles and features with exercises and practical work.

Motion control is mechatronics. It combines mechanics and electronics, actuators (motors) and sensors, all controlled by software. This training session will identify and define the role, behaviour and mutual interaction of the different elements of a motion control system.

The course is held at the maxon UK headquarters – Maxon House, Hogwood Lane, Finchampstead, Berkshire RG40 4QW and will run from 9.30-4.00 pm. Lunch will be provided. The classes will be kept small to ensure a high level of support. It is a practical session using maxon EPOS and ESCON controller training kits. Both sets of Studio software need to be downloaded before attending.
