Cummins Onan will have one of its most experienced engineers present two seminars on reducing vibration in marine generators. The seminars will take place at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS), to be held in Amsterdam November 15–17. Cummins Onan will also be an exhibitor at the event, at Stand 11.605.

There will be two seminars on reducing vibration, one basic and one advanced. Both the seminars will be held in Room G103 on November 16.

The seminars will be led by Steve Seidlitz, a senior technical advisor at Cummins Power Generation with 39 years of industry experience and a specialist in mechanical dynamics related to vibration control. He holds a bachelor’s degree in physics from Grinnell College and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Minnesota.

“Our seminars at METS on reducing vibration not only demonstrate our technology leadership in this important area and a desire to remain close to our European customers; they are also more proof of how Cummins Onan is aggressively pursuing a strategy of international growth in the marine generator industry,” said Lucio Kroll, director of Cummins Onan Marine Business. “Other evidence of that strategy includes the creation of marine product literature in several languages; new relationships with European yacht builders; our strengthened partnership with Tritex in China; and our participation in the 2011 China International Boat Show in Shanghai. The growth of Cummins Onan’s business outside the U.S., particularly in emerging markets such as Brazil, China and India, not only mirrors similar growth by our parent company, Cummins Inc., but also is in tandem with the ambitious oversea expansion of our strategic customers, major boat builders in North America and Europe.”

The seminars are free for all METS attendees, but preregistration is required, as only a limited number of seats are available. To sign up, click here.
