Our personnel department helps to place those who successfully complete a course with DMG MORI customers. We started early on with transferring our knowledge as skills training to publicly funded jobseekers. How did the offering from DMG MORI Academy develop from classic training courses? The resulting time advantage, of course, boosts machine availability. The knowledge transferred in the service courses often enables the customer’s own maintenance department to carry out most of the service and maintenance tasks. We offer a compact 2-day course for aligning a machine after a collision, for example. The great majority of participants on the service training courses – 80 percent – are our own DMG MORI service engineers, but we also train employees of our customers.
Professional courses focussing on complex mill-turn, turn-mill or 5-axis simultaneous machining round off the offer. Additional training is given in our advanced courses, for example in the fields of measuring probes or plane transformation.
We train our customers in the basics of programming, set-up and operation of our machines. And that is exactly where we come in with our modular course offer. The latest CNC machines in particular demand a high level of know-how if the potential of manufacturing solutions is to be exploited to the full. Mr Möllenhoff, what place does the DMG MORI Academy take in the DMG MORI portfolio of products and services?
