ultimately irritates me a message rule that still stereotyping in career choice. example, women still choose traditional female occupations. Maybe I can eliminate this contribution to one or other existing obstacle.
1988 was when I decided to purchase a technical qualification. I opted for the machinist, who just this year for the industrial mechanics of the machine - and changed technology. I lay with my specialized high school maturity in two companies, from an aptitude test. Both I was - I decided for different reasons Mannesmann Demag, Demag Cranes today. Here you had previous experience with the education of women in metal trades, which were also subsequently in the establishment.
I started with another woman and 21 men. In basic training - metal filing, drilling, sawing, machining, welding, CNC, control-u. Control etc, were all occupations together. Equipped with dungarees, safety shoes, 10 tokens for the tool output, we were masters of our our work, assigned to the vice. We just got because of our height to compensate for missed and ergonomically friendly work attitude is a € range from the vise.
In the first six weeks, it was said, from morning to afternoon 6 h 15 h, U-steel scrub (filing) according to the master - we got millimeter requirements as a day destination. At the end of each day was tested by means of precision square and calipers to work. My goodness, I should have already known what would be left of this piece in Enddefekt - I would probably have gone directly to the saw it. We honed, bored, depressed what the stuff was to ultimately receive as a result of the items a truck. The last remnants of the former U-Stahl served as the wheel arch. The calluses on the hands, however, were quickly forgotten.
operation After the basic course our Master the time a kind of "talent management". Each of us had indeed his dream job at the start, but was found with the basic course and the one or the other strength or weakness. So did our master causes that lead to some cutting-edge discussions with his charges. Some one was possibly encouraged to learn rather Steel Construction Mechanic (Construction Mechanics), or better tool maker (toolmaker).
Our basic training was completed but not yet. And so it went for machining. Again, we created a first training unit: a radio tower, the foot runtergespant normal to size, the tip of a copper alloy, tapered. I initially had less Respect for the machine, which we previously explained including their settings. Rather, it was the first chip, I "flew ears" with a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius to. From then on I was found on a lathe with high-necked jacket. The breaking point was at the training section in mount the female, at the radio tower top, the male, which we should cut into the machine turn. The parts, considered not a problem - screwed together my first copy but rather reminded of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. My master had a disadvantage.
The theory was part of a structured training support. Not even a physics or chemistry affine came down so and again the helpful "Aja-da-was-it-was-effect" of school hours.
We went through different departments within the plant work. More sensitive natures, our Master took earlier in preparation for there "prevailing tone.
The 80-minute piece, as was customary in the operation, I built gear, roller stands, cats of different sizes. The physical effort was most health-conscious relief by appropriate machinery. In an emergency, you knew with cleverness (eg lever extension) to help accordingly. And no, a "rubber granules" I was made to not get - my fate was almost as if I was first instructed, a 44er to get wrench ...
Towards testing, we were taught in other audit-related issues: the CNC programming as well as the control and regulation technology (E, pneumatics, hydraulics).
Of course we are not allowed to go unprepared on the expensive CNC machines. By means of appropriate simulation programs, we first learned to write programs and components "dry" to mill and turn. For testing in the control and regulation technology had appeared with the Demag to the pneumatics. So we learned in theory but all the variants to read circuit diagrams and also to create these using appropriate templates (draw) practically, we set this only pneumatic (air pressure powered) to.
The audit was delayed for 3 days, including a theoretical part including CNC program to write, produce a work piece (9 am - in my case at the time a Verschachtelungssystem), case study in pneumatics (schematic drawing and similar build), troubleshooting, and - shooting at a given circuit.
We passed all these tests with flying colors - but when she placed first Examination under the new regulation for all equally a challenge: Chamber of Commerce, the master and test objects. I am not, contrary to my former running mate, more active in this profession, I remember like these Time back and would not miss this training ...
