Hello,

Is there a way that a user can register another user? Example is that we have a security of a company wanting to register several individuals and pay for it with a company credit card, but the card is in her name.

Thanks,

Colin R.

Web Handling including Winders are among the most complex of drive applications. In this new course learn about the importance of tension control to winding quality rolls. There are a number of options available for tension control. Learn about:

Selecting a drive for web handling applications
Ac and dc drives
Load cell vs. dancer vs. open loop control of tension
Power requirements (actual vs. motor rating)
Tension Loop Control Block Diagrams
Drive functions for Turret Winders
Tuning your drives and tension loops
Troubleshoot tension issues
Drive safety (guard interlocks and E-Stop)
Knowing if your project is in trouble

The course is general and applicable to any brand of drive. Limited high school mathematics is presented, but emphasis is on description of the controls. This course does not cover university level control theory (e.g., Bode, Nyquist, etc.).

Comments from past attendees:

\"Clarence is a fantastic instructor providing exceptional knowledge of drive control systems backed by his real world experience. All of this knowledge is clearly presented throughout his class. I highly recommend this course!\"

\"The instructor brought out several points that have been seen in our plant and some useful information that can be taken back to the plant.\"

\"The drive tuning topic was most valuable. Will be able to use today and in the future.\"

\"Very nice handbook.\"

Course Instructor

The course is given by Clarence Klassen P.E., who has over 30 years of experience in the Pulp and Paper industry, and 10 years of experience as a drives engineer and systems integrator. He brings broad experience from onsite installations and troubleshooting.

Who should take this course?

This course is intended for electrical/instrumentation maintenance, drive startup personnel, and junior to intermediate drive systems engineers. Emphasis will be on the practical aspects of drives for winding. A prerequisite is electrical aptitude and enough troubleshooting experience to be familiar with the names for the: parts of your machines, and electrical terms like volts, amps, 3 phase, parameters
