Adding Servo Technology to Packaging Machines
This 2-day course covers the fundamentals of converting existing machinery to
servo technology. It is targeted towards the Packaging OEM engineers and
designers who have been charged with taking an existing non-servo machine, and
upgrading it to servo technology (while upgrading the performance as well). This is
a task, that if done correctly, improves the performance, capability, and reliability of
the machine ... but if done incorrectly, adds cost and lowers reliability. The course
covers the following topics:
- Servo Technology - What it is, and what it is not
- How NOT to Approach the Task ...
- Considerations in Selecting a PLC-Based Control System
- Sizing the Servo Motors
- Absolute vs. Relative Servos Encoders
- E-stops and Power up
- Avoiding Common Traps
- Adding Machine Monitoring Functions
- Adding Self-Diagnostics Functions
- Tuning the Servo Motors
- Secrets of Good Touchscreen Design

Fundamentals of Good Touchscreen Design
This course is still under development.
