Why Your Employees Should Attend

Most operator training is informal. A new employee works with an experienced mentor for a while and then is assigned to a machine with little or no real understanding of how gears are made, how to troubleshoot a problem or how to inspect his/her own work.

After completion of this course, students are more competent and motivated. Again and again, AGMA hears that employees return with the ability to troubleshoot their own problems, because they fully understand the process.

Hands-on Training

Although all training is basic, on manual machines, everything that students learn is valid and applicable with the CNC equipment commonly in use.

By using manual machines, students can see the interaction between the cutting tool and the workpiece. They understand the process and the physics of making a gear.
