New training packages offer a controlled, safe learning environment to build practical skills that can be applied quickly in the workplace.
Stepper and servo motor are essential for precise and controlled motion in a wide range of industrial applications. Motor installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting skills are prerequisites for automation, robotics, and mechatronics specialists, as well as industrial electricians, and electrical and maintenance technicians.
Ready-to-use learning material
New courses available on the digital portal Festo LX allow learners to gain practical expertise in these skills and lean about the operating principles of stepper and servo motors, drive configuration and commissioning, wiring techniques, motor sizing methods, homing procedures, motion profile creation, troubleshooting strategies, power transmission methods, PID motor control, and more.
Practical training using professional equipment
Turnkey packages include all the necessary hardware to carry out the learning activities outlined in the courses. Learners study motors in linear- and angular single-axis applications; they can also build a gantry application. Sturdy equipment provides a safe work environment. Protective guards ensure learners’ safety during experimentation. Industrial components from Festo increase realism and durability. The drive can be configured and commissioned using the free program Festo Automation Suite.
