maxon academy

maxon motor's "maxon academy" training platform represents another innovative step in customer support. www.maxonmotor.com/academy offers comprehensive knowledge on drive technology; printed publications, e-learning modules and seminars on drive technology and motion control. "Professor's Desk" supports tutors and students.

Intelligent drive technology, used either in equipment or plant construction, is relevant in the context of mechatronic systems. Designers and developers have to ensure that the mechanical drive works reliably in accordance with the application's requirements, but it must also be cost-effective and energy efficient. For this to happen, the correct design and dimensions are essential, but this is only possible with knowledge of properties, parameters, thresholds, tolerances and reserves of the various drive components.

maxon academy is a training platform that provides technical knowledge on drive technology beyond data sheets and technical data on individual drive components. Several books on drive selection and magnetism have already appeared under the maxon academy label. We are expanding this by offering other forms of knowledge transfer. maxon academy is the central focus for sourcing background information and basic knowledge on maxon's product portfolio. Interested parties can take part in e-learning modules or find out about forthcoming seminars on drive technology and motion control. maxon academy also provides the opportunity for finding out about specific areas of training.

The target audience includes practitioners and people who deal with drive technology matter, such as designers, engineers as well as maxon staff and people who work in sales and service. The content also features an accessible mix of presentations, theoretical basics, exercises, demonstrations and in practical work where possible and useful.

But maxon academy is also geared towards prospective users, such as engineering students and their tutors. With "Professor's Desk", maxon is responding to the growing demand for basic educational material and future support from this segment. Professor's Desk therefore contains presentations for tutors, documentation and exercises for students as well as models with suggestions for practical mechatronics training.

For those interested in drive technology, maxon academy is a comprehensive platform for in-depth education and training in this challenging field - at first hand, directly from the world's leading provider of high-precision drive systems.
