Eurotrans Gears Training on Production Technology is Back!

 

From 6 to 10 March 2023, the ‘Eurotrans Gears Training’ on Production Technology will organised again on site. This is a specialised training at master level on gear manufacturing technology.

Context

Although the power transmission engineering industry is an important industry branch, universities programs have only limited courses on gears. In Europe, a mechanical engineer gets on average 5 hours of specific gear training. This is far too less to be effective in industry. Therefore, EUROTRANS identified world class gear experts and trainers and developed an extensive modular Gear Training covering all aspects from geometry and design over production technology to quality control and failure analysis. Addressing a European audience, the residential training program is organised in several locations in close connection with famous laboratory. This training on PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY is organised with Sirris and the University of Leuven. This year, the training course will take place in Leuven, Belgium and we will look into new technologies such as surface treatment via laser that can be used for among others noise reduction.

Target audience

This course is oriented to people active in the gears and transmissions sector with a basic engineering background and provides improvement of knowledge on production technology aspects of gears and gear systems. Further, this course in given in English and contributes to improve the language skills of the participants by interacting with the experts and with their peers from other countries.

Venue

The training course will be organised in Leuven, Belgium. The main location is the hotel ‘The Lodge Leuven’, Kantineplein 3 in Heverlee, Leuven (Belgium). However, part of the training will take place in the buildings of Sirris in Leuven and of KU Leuven, both locations at walking distance from The Lodge.
