Addition to the existing training program
Injection molding machine manufacturer Netstal is providing the SKZ Plastics Center in Horb am Neckar with an Elion 1200-510 injection molding machine. The official machine handover took place on June 25, 2024. The Elion 1200-510 with a clamping force of 1,200 kN will be used in future for the extensive training activities in injection molding at the Horb am Neckar site.
Courses for career changers and specialists
The machine will enhance the existing range of training courses in Horb - including "Machine Operator" or "Certified Setter", as well as courses on injection molding defects or sampling of injection molds. The course program includes course options for career changers and specialists. The injection moulding unit from the Elion series is characterized by low noise emissions and optimum energy efficiency. With injection compression molding (ICM), new fields of application can also be opened up.
Keeping machinery up to date
"We are very pleased about our first injection molding machine from Netstal at SKZ. Especially in times of a shortage of skilled workers, it is important to keep the machinery up to date in order to work with the latest technology. We would like to thank Netstal for their support and are pleased to be able to offer our participants courses at a very high technical level," says Jürgen Kern, site manager of the SKZ in Horb am Neckar.
Access to advanced machines
"We are proud to provide the SKZ with a machine and thus support training and further education in the plastics industry here in Germany. It is crucial that skilled workers have access to advanced machines to develop their skills in plastics processing," explained Uwe Telinde, Managing Director of Netstal Deutschland GmbH, at the handover of the machine.
