Apprentices from the Schopfheim trainin<br />

Major projects are currently under way<br />

in our training department. This means<br />

that several projects are concentrated<br />

in one major project. All the projects are<br />

set up in Johann-Sutter-Straße in Schopfheim<br />

(assembly for two-shaft machines).<br />

The apprentices currently in the training<br />

department are all involved in this work.<br />

• 6 tool cars<br />

• 2 spray booths<br />

• 12 tote box pallets<br />

• 8 tables for ZEPHYR machines<br />

• 8 mounting devices for<br />

assembling ZEPHYR machines<br />

Here, for example, is one of the projects, the<br />

assembly jig. Conducting a project of this type<br />

has been a huge challenge. Several assembly<br />

jigs have already been planned and also produced<br />

here in the training department. These<br />

projects must of course also be approved by<br />

the management. It all takes a long time –<br />

starting with an idea, then through the planning<br />

stage to completion. We had to make plans,<br />

produce drawings on our CAD system, look<br />

for a helical geared brake motor in a catalog<br />

to move and „hold“ a weight of 600 kg. And<br />

not to forget, the accident prevention and<br />

occupational safety regulations for these<br />

devices and their operators. Our treacher<br />

Mr. Trinler regularly reminds us of these and<br />

naturally gives us relevant training. We were<br />

then able to order the required parts through<br />

the Purchase Division with the respective<br />

project number. These included steel plates,<br />

steel shafts, thrust bearings, grooved ball<br />

bearings, square pipes, a frequency converter,<br />

a switch box for operation, electrodes,<br />

grinding wheels, screws, nuts, etc.<br />

Once our orders had arrived we commenced<br />

with production. We pierced, turned, milled,<br />

welded, drilled, rubbed, screwed, pinned,<br />

mounted and tested the steel plates. The electrical<br />

components were naturally produced<br />

by our electricians. After everything had been<br />

tested and accepted, the machine was painted<br />

in the paint shop and then erected at its place<br />

of destination in the displacer assembly plant<br />

in Johann-Sutter-Straße in Schopfheim.
