Whenever many individual parts need to be turned into a coherent whole, we turn to our metals technology specialists. During your training you will learn how the various individual parts are assembled: for example, by means of press-fit, soldered, crimped, or screw connections.
You will work on semi-automated and fully-automated workstations, set up assembly lines and perform inspections using modern end-of-line test equipment. You will turn these machines into an extension of your will – by learning to program them during your training. Ultimately, is the quality right and is the device ready for the customer? You will check that, too – the final decision will be yours! As you work, you will consistently refer to the technical documentation and be well-versed in the applicable safety regulations.
