What awaits you with us

What you work with every day — the equipment, tasks and technology of this position.

Vertical turning up to Ø 4,800 mm

You clamp rotationally symmetric heavy parts up to 50 t and 2,400 mm in height onto the Feichter vertical lathe — one of the largest rotary tables in the region.

Turn-milling on the Siemens 840D

On the Siemens 840D you turn and mill pipes, rings, flanges and housings complete in one setup with driven tools.

Individual parts instead of a series line

No series line: you turn individual parts and small batches from batch size 1 to drawing — from common structural steel through wear-resistant Hardox to high-strength fine-grain steel S1100, no workpiece is like another.
