Motion Seminar

Motion Seminar

We are excited to announce an on-site seminar focusing on the topic, "Innovating Motion: The Future of High Precision Motion Control," taking place on the 11th of June, from 9:00-16:00 Central European Time (CET) at Munich, Germany. 

The seminar will cover the latest advancements in linear motors, servo drives, motion controllers, and system demonstration. The event will also include free lunch and networking opportunities with engineers, technical experts, and professionals in similar high-tech fields. 

Are you interested? Make sure to sign up here.
