Everything is running smoothly!
During your apprenticeship as a
cutting machine operator (m/f/d)

This training is tremendously exciting.

ebm-papst develops groundbreaking solutions in the field of drive technology. For our first-class motors and transmissions, we need a wide variety of components, such as gears, made from raw materials such as metal. In your apprenticeship as a cutting machine operator (m/f/d), we will show you how you can produce them using machining processes on our automated CNC machines. Existing technical drawings serve as a template for creating or modifying CNC machine programs. What's really exciting is the moment when you start the machining process on the machine. From then on, you will become an inspecting authority that keeps an eye on dimensions and surface quality. If something goes wrong, you determine the cause by means of suitable test procedures, intervene in a regulating manner and, as always, have everything under control.

Tasks
This is what you can expect:

First of all, the most important thing: You are with us to grow personally and professionally. That's why you will carry out the vast majority of your tasks during your training as a cutting machine operator (m/f/d) in a team and always with the full support of your trainer. One of your main tasks will be the production of transmission parts. You produce these with millimeter precision with the help of programmable CNC machines. During your apprenticeship, you will also learn about the manual manufacturing processes for turning, milling, drilling and grinding. Gloves and goggles are a must for you. Checking the accuracy of the components you machine is also part of your job. Just like setting up, operating and maintaining machines.
