Best Trainee 2025
Best Trainee 🥇
Last week, the best trainees in the Hagen Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SIHK) region were honored at a ceremony. Among the 116 award winners who completed their training with the top grade of “very good” was our former trainee Tim Schakeit.
We are delighted for him and his trainer Martin Spielmann on this achievement. We are even more delighted that Tim will be staying with us as a colleague after his training, continuing to work for the company as an electronics technician for industrial engineering. 🤝

Special machine for manufacturing wood construction screws
One of the challenges with this system was the wide range of wire feed lengths from 160 to 850 mm combined with a high cycle rate of 60 pieces per minute, even with stainless steel variants.
In order to be able to operate the processing stations at high cycle rates even with long wire feed lengths, our designers came up with the idea of first swiveling the wire sections into a vertical position to save space.
This is followed by the second special feature of this system.
The transfer does not move in front of the processing stations, as is usual with most of our systems, but through them. This allows the closed-design swaging presses to be operated, in which the screw heads are formed in the next step.
Another press pre-punches the screw tip before it enters the second part of the system, where the thread is rolled.
Here, we use a cooling and lubricating emulsion to give the blanks the desired thread. This step is also carried out in the system cycle.

New unit for deburring and chamfering
Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference. Like our new deburring and chamfering unit, which can be integrated into an X2000NC – even retroactively.
Key features:
-Suitable for wire and tubing from 3 to 10 mm
-Feed movement and degree of machining can be adjusted separately
-Very short installation space in the transfer direction.
-Can be positioned freely on the work wall.
-Long parts can also be processed
-A mirrored version is also possible
