This course is certified by the European society for precision engineering & nanotechnology (euspen) and the Dutch Society for Precision Engineering (DSPE) and leads to the ECP2-certificate.
Hands-on course into experimental techniques to determine dynamic properties of mechatronic systems in a reliable way. Participants will acquire a mix of theoretical background, do's and don’ts and practical hands-on experience.
Please note: limited capacity due to a maximum group size of 8 participants. This encourages interaction and contributes to extra personal attention for each participant.
This training is available for open enrollment as well as for in-company sessions.
Objective
After the course, the participant will be able to select the correct measurement method and instrumentation, perform reliable and correct measurement of the dynamic behavior of precision mechatronic devices and assess and present the results in a meaningful way.
Target audience
This course is intended for design engineers, test engineers, production qualification engineers, customer support engineers and trouble shooters who use dynamic frequency domain techniques to evaluate the behavior of precision mechatronic devices.
Prerequisites: Technical education (BSc or higher), with at least two years experience and completion of the courses Mechatronics system design (Metron1/2) or equivalent.
