The project has been started 2008 under the presidency of Georges Roobaert, Hansen Transmissions Int.
The power transmission engineering industry is an important industry branch, universities fail to develop appropriate courses. In Europe, a mechanical engineer gets on average 5 hours of gear training. This is far too less to be effective in industry. Moreover, gear trainers are becoming rare due to retirement and non replacement. Therefore, EUROTRANS identified the remaining top gear trainers and developped an extensive modular Gear Training covering all aspects from geometry and design over production to quality control and failure analysis. Addressing an European audience, this residential training is organised in several locations in close connection with famous gear laboratories.
A Gear Training Program on Master Level (English spoken):
part 1: Geometry and design
part 2: Production
part 3: Quality and failure
part 4: Advanced design
The first training sessions has taken place in January 2010. Eurotrans were pleased to welcome 15 particpants for the 1st week of the Eurotrans Gear Training on ‘Geometry and Design’ at Cetim (Senlis, France). The training was evaluated 'satisfying' to 'very satisfying' on the content of the courses and the organisation of the complete program - so it was a full sucess.
In March 2010 the second week of this training programme will be organised on the topic of ‘production’ (8 to 12th March, Namur, Belgium).
