Wandfluh in Frutigen in the Bernese
Oberland develops, produces and sells innovative hydraulic components worldwide. When turning, drilling, milling and
grinding are carried out in the company's own training workshop, a high-performance machining fluid is required - perfect conditions for Motorex Swisscool 8000.
Wandfluh currently trains 32 apprentices in 8 different trades at the
parent company. Polymechanic apprentices must submit an individual work project at the end of their four-year apprenticeship. In the training workshop, Thomas Schranz built a crimping machine for the crimping of anchor tubes (the core of a valve magnet) for his project. Based on detailed drawings, the polymechanic had to produce the base block and the adaptation as well as other components. For this, it has a variety of state-of-the-art infrastructures, such as CNC milling machines and lathes, as well as CAM software for generating CNC programs.
