I'm an instructor of mechatronics at a 2 year community college. I really appreciate the advice I've received from this group over the years. We're starting a electric motor control course - this is be our students first introduction to motors and controlling them. We've been told by our industry advisory board to definitely pay attention to VFDs and three phase motors - this is no problem for us.
One of our adjuncts and a lot of our graduates are working for Amazon or amazon subcontractors. I've been getting a little feedback saying a lot of their equipment is starting to be powered by DC motors and servos which is news to me. Obviously 24v is safer. Ive also been sniffing around the internet and found these lads. Check about 4 mins into the video. I thought it was pretty impressive.

My plan was to spend most of the time on AC motor controls but how deep into DC motors should I be getting. Any imput/feedback is defo appreciated.
