Configuring and planning SEW-EURODRIVE products

SEW-EURODRIVE Workbench is a planning and configuration tool for engineering drive systems. Use SEW-EURODRIVE Workbench to configure basic as well as complex applications and virtually test their functionality. You can conveniently drag and drop the components you want, such as drive, inverter, cable and field distributor, into a complete drive system. Workbench checks your configured drive system and reports possible combination errors.

Did you know…? You can create and save not just one, but multiple projects at a project folder in SEW-EURODRIVE Workbench. SEW-EURODRIVE Workbench also offers more: Like a kind of savable shopping cart, you can exchange existing projects directly with other Workbench users. This allows multiple project participants to work together on your project and guarantees submission to us for optimal order processing.

Don't forget: The result of your Workbench configuration is a product list that can be saved as a PDF file and printed or sent directly to us for order processing.
