On-line Courses:

Kollmorgen has been developing on-line courses for a number of years to deliver to our internal team and channel partners. We are now bringing this style of learning to our customers as well starting with one of our programming courses: AKD BASIC. This online module, intended for those who are using the AKD BASIC drive, leads you through a series of exercises that help acquaint you to the programming environment. This course culminates in a review of a "keystone" program based on a project of your choice. List Price for this on-line course is $300.

Video Series:

Two Minutes of Motion Series – This series, hosted by Gordon Ritchie is designed to be a single topic, informative training session – a quick “How To” that you can take in within a short 2 minutes. The focus on these sessions has been on both AKD BASIC and the AKD base units, but also covers many aspects of motions control, including feedback devices, servo loops, and other related topics.

In addition to our Two Minutes of Motion Series videos, we have created other informative as well as entertaining segments, such as Modern Machine. With a production of 10 – 12 videos per month, our list will continue to expand. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and get notified of new video releases!
