Lenze introduces new online training concept
At the Lenze stand at the Drives & Controls exhibition visitors will be able to find out about a new online product training concept that begins with the i500 range of frequency inverters. The flexibility offered by on-line training makes the learning process much more user-friendly. Lenze is also making a presentation at the Drives and Controls Conference on how new ideas can save large amounts of energy in the field of factory automation. Although further reasons to visit the show are hardly needed, each day a valuable track experience will be won in a free prize draw on the Lenze stand.
Lenze are introducing the new online training at their stand D330. It begins with the new i500 frequency inverters, also being shown for the first time in the UK. By making training on-line, participants gain as they can train at times to suit them and at their own pace without having to travel to a training centre. The i500 training modules are offered at three levels covering the basics and with modules at application/commissioning level and for Service Engineers. The modules cover the knowledge required by most customers, but they are supplemented by an optional workshop course for those needing further hands-on experience. Access is through the Lenze online training portal and screen simulations are highly realistic. Buttons can be pressed and data entered as if it was a real machine and the resulting motion is visible.
In the Drives & Controls Conference Lenze is presenting "Energy-efficient machines and their role in factory automation" on Wednesday afternoon. This explains how substantial energy savings are possible by "new thinking" - taking a more radical approach to machine processes. Examples are the handling of goods in a warehouse where optimisation of travel profiles can save 20 per cent of energy costs, and a stacker crane where reusing braking energy can save 30 to 40 per cent.
In addition to hands-on demonstrations of new products, visitors to the Lenze stand have the opportunity to win an exciting track experience. Each day a voucher will be given away in a free prize draw. Winners get to drive three supercars at their choice from five UK tracks. The choice of cars includes Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and Porsches - something to get revved up about!
