With the investment in eight FPS milling machines, the Steinmüller Education Center (SBZ) (Germany) covers the entire operating spectrum, from manual handwheel to simple path control to complex high-end CNC control.

Thanks to the equipment with a Heidenhain PT 8016 path control, the universal milling machine FPS 500M-digital does not require an enclosure, providing an optimal view of the tool and workpiece.(Image: FPS machine tools)

Metalworking companies are often caught in a dilemma. There is a lack of qualified skilled workers in production. As a result, there is often no capacity to release staff for training the urgently needed next generation of workers. The solution: cooperation with educational centers. The well-connected SBZ in Gummersbach serves as a role model here, as it is in constant contact with locally based companies and, in close collaboration with them, regularly produces between 40 and 80 well-qualified graduates in various metal and electrical professions.
