How cool is the fact that a Managing Director started out as an intern toolmaker, that’s where management should come from.
That's pretty common in Europe!
You gotta have superior studies and different diplomas to get hired on managing positions, but mainly they grow they managers (and not only) from within the company. This way that guy basically breaths that company's culture and way of working and also more likely to be with you on the long run
@@dragosdiaconu629 it’s unfortunate that has become so uncommon in the US.
Like it was discussed in a recent Titan video, having a manager that comes from a machining background also has the risk of not wanting to do things in different ways and keep the same culture harming innovation. There should be a mix of the two.
In any case in Europe is not easy to change jobs and many people stay with the same company all their life. It can be extremely difficult to find a new job in your later work years
@@dragosdiaconu629sure, but it's actually not usual that they come from operations. Using the German example, most managers do either study BWL or have a kaufmännische Ausbildung or both through a duales Studium.
like your comment .... for me still today being a toolmaker helps me a lot after all the years and I am very thankful to everybody who helped me while my apprentiship program started 35 years ago ... one of the reasons why we are taking care about these programs so consequently in Germany but also in the US in our NC plant
I’m so proud to be part of the SCHUNK team! SCHUNK truly is next level when it comes to tool holding, Workholding and automation! Thank you TITANS of CNC for making it possible for the world to see one of our state of the art facilities!
Amen. I'm in USA Michigan I love the shunk hydraulic collet mill holders. Twist a screw and you got at worst case .o1mm runnout.
Teammate🤝
This is the most impressive facility I have ever seen. If I ever get the chance to visit Germany, I hope that Schunk would give me a tour because I would love to see this in person. OEM manufacturing is always so impressive and how they hone in every machining process is just incredible. But what really blows me away is the amount of effort they have put into their apprenticeship program. They don't just have a small room with a couple worn out machines. They have several rooms with state of the art equipment and processes. So amazing to see a company put that kind of investment into their youth!
What would be the point of putting apprentices to the side with some old sh*t? They are the future of the company and one of the biggest advantages is that they bring in new ideas. Following the motto: Everyone said it was impossible, but then someone came along who didn't know it was impossible and just did it.
It is also an archetypical German thing, most of our companies are not interested in short-term gain at all but consider sustainability in the future as much more important. And that's why apprenticeship programs are very popular for both employers and employees.
@@Arsenic71 You're preaching to the choir. I have been so impressed that all of the companies Titan has toured throughout Europe seems to have a well ran apprenticeship program and it is nice to see. Unfortunately it is not near as common here in the US and I believe a lot of companies don't truly want to make the investment needed to properly train their employees here. I've only seen a couple of companies that had some type of program like this and they had old, worn out equipment and the techniques they taught were extremely limited and outdated.
I retired 10 years ago from my company located in Plymouth England and I was a great fan and user of Schunk work holding on my CNC machines, I would like to thank all the staff at Schunk for the great work they do.
Thanks to you also Titan, it is hard retiring when you produce such great videos, they make it so tempting to get back into work, but the wife wouldn't be too happy about that 😉
Believe it or not, for Germany this is a pretty standard facility in terms of machine layout, IoT, storage, waste management, etc.
It's so impressive how clean and state-of-the-art everything is... Amazing facility and awesome video!
Wir haben das einfach drauf 🥰
Proud to work for @SCHUNK a high tech company that values all the employees and the quality of its products and solutions!
Compacting the chips into lil pucks is pretty cool
You actually get paid more for pucks and solids per pound than shavings… true story
"Obsession for perfection". Words to live by.
Really enjoyed this tour, especially the breadth of all we got to see. From the manufacturing to the apprenticeship programs to even their efforts to power the facility. Really impressive.
Words you and I have lived by Brother… BOOM!
@@TITANSofCNC booom
That Schunk facility is on another level! Great job team!
I can already see Titan looking for that floor in the color black. 😆😁
Thanks Titan for visiting us and for the impressive video! It feels good watching it. I hope everybody gets our passion for production and developing products helping customers being more productive. Proud being part of the team.
So proud to work for SCHUNK!
I work on SCHUNK Mexico on the engineering area and I really believe that SCHUNK is one of the best companies to work looking forward. I'm enjoying every day!
This entire video had me smiling the whole time. So cool to see a manufacturer that cares about all facets of their business and the workers all seem to enjoy themselves working there and wanting to work there. That is some crazy automation, as Titan said early on.
It makes me so stoked how they showed off their apprenticeship system which at it's core is the same thing that any other apprentices in that line of work are experiencing in Germany. BUUUT it seemingly is so much more and reflects a special type of entrepeneurship where a hefty amount of the profits is reinvested in generating more excellence to achieve the profits for the future generations. This is the spirit of the german "Mittelstand" that ensures that the german economy is continuing to thrive.
Very pround beeing part of this.
What an impressive company! High quality products, innovative, and making an investment into the youth through their apprenticeship program! Well done, Schunk!
These series are so nice! You’re not only showing your own shop and work but also those in your supply chain. Boom!
What an incredible facility! So amazingly clean and organized and automated! Great video showing the expertise of a great brand!
What a wonderful company! I love the way they help young people with apprenticeships and classroom time!
I wish more companies would follow their model!
Thanks for doing the tour! 😊
just really started getting curious in cnc and machine cutting, machining parts for engines in my shop. unfortunately i have no former training but am eager to learn. Titan, your website and crew is teaching me and helping so much, please never stop what you guys are doing here.
Need to get some of those SCHUNK toolholders in Texas!
Very cool.. I've never seen SCHUNK like this, even though I've been in the team for 25 years. It's really great what we're doing there! Thanks Titan
Fantastic facility! Great tour Titan 💪
I am an allround cnc mechanic, i see this things everdy day. but still i love to watch your videos in my free time 👌
Have always loved the shop tours something good every time.
Modern, clean, awesome! Boom!
I am 44 years old but I would love to be an aprentice at Schunk
Never to late to start…
absolutely astonish - congratulations
This place is Massive! Awesome video!
The love for the industry is immense, it is immensely invested in that company, schunk is king! I love the love wave in there.
Amazing facility! Their apprentice program seems top notch! Great tour Titan!😎
While the equipment is indeed top notch, the pattern for the apprenticeship is the standard in Germany. It’s regulated nation wide and in the end you get a certificate that shows the job that you did the apprenticeship for.
Awesome facility and workforce and awesome video, thank you.
Such an amazing facility. The CEO really knows whats up in his factorys gotta love that.
That is an INSANE chuck! Awesome tour Titan!
Thanks Donnie🤙
Another amazing job by the Bossman!! Boom!!!!
This is so awesome!
Simply amazing!
What more can one say about these tours... All top notch and truly just amazing technology. Should we have expected anything less? To those others giving tours a bit of advice to you. This is how its done. Much love and gratitude 💥💪
One word, Quality.
This is such a cool facility that Schunk has, you’re gonna have to take me there one of these days 😂
Loved Markus’s boom at the end
Love all the automation!
I love seeing this technology being put into practice!!😘
Very impressive, this is why German industry is so successful.Apprentice training is superb and the Director really knows the manufacturing processes.
Wow that is amazing stuff these guys do. I'm not a machinist but a fan of Titans for sure. Thanks for sharing
Thank you
What a humble and very educated guy.
This facility looks so cool! Hey from the US SCHUNK team!
Saving the best "BOOM" for last ..
Outstanding facility
Phenomenal! Great vid.
So is no one gonna talk about the dude just cruising thru the factory on a bicycle
This company is off the hook...😍
What a great video, very educational 👍
As if it needs repeating (it doesn't!) but Titan, your enthusiasm is getting legendary! *BOOM!* This was a really interesting tour, and I really appreciated the human angle.
Thanks you Brother…
Titan
I was in the same plant a few months ago with school and its quite cool!
"To understand what they are responsible for"
Great stuff
Great to see a global company investing in the future workforce - what an impressive apprenticeship program in a world class facility!
The apprenticeship program is pretty common in germany.
The german intern and trainee-System is just perfect.
Conteúdo maravilhoso, é tão bom conhcer essa grande empresa de forma tão detalhada. Percebe-se SCHUNK tem excelência em tudo o que faz, empresa organizada, produtiva, tecnologica, humanizada, qualidade no que produz! Parabéns pelo conteúdo!
The technology. Ugh, the robotics. The cleanliness and organization. The processes. The tooling. MMMMMMM, man there's something indescribable and *very satisfying* about all this.
I work on a similar one but bigger that you show at 7:53. I can't tell you how great it is to program and work on it. Raw stock in, finished part out, no need for manual loading for the next operation. That subspindle is something that should be in every CNC lathe, or as we like to say, once you go subspindle you never go back to tailstock.
Fantastic company ❤ilove you titans ❤
Very impressive
I'm a toolmaker apprentice 35min away from Mengen. I certainly would've wrote an application if I knew they are this close to me and have this quality in training the young talent. Sadly our possibilities are far more limited, but still not bad. Schunk seem like a good destination if you want to learn the craft properly.
Great video and company
Schunk is second to none. Boom
Guys come to lauffen, then we'll see each other✌🏻 since each location makes different products, it would certainly be interesting to see the heart of schunk! Nice Video👍
The U.S. needs so badly to bring back legitimate apprentice programs
I work at Fastems! Nice to hear that you like our system for automation solutions!
Impressive!
Workholding that holds the workholding! 🤯
Everything about this video is Boom.
Welcome to Germany!
Really incredible technology and a great tour! I wonder where this level of automation and lights out operations will take us. We're orders of magnitude more productive than we were 30 or 40 years ago, but I'm not sure life is any better. Just don't know what to think about it... Great tour though!
This is the real-life version of the game Satisfactory. So cool.
Chucks making chucks!
Pretty nice working there shame you missed our Doosan puma mx 9 axes fleet. :)
Muito bom ! Perfeito.
Had to do a small stint as an apprentice last year working under a machinist on a NHX-500 5 axis CNC mill, offloading all the swarf chips multiple times a day was a fucking ordeal, rolling out a giant swarf bin to a gantry crane so we could manually dump it every time it got full. And the mess that would be left behind every single time.
Having an automatic swarf compactor attached to the mill is fucking genius.
Nice person cool and friendly.
This company is out of earth.
Happiness employees and amazing products.
Boom.......
John Grizopoulos retired machinist from Greece.
Wow I am German but have never heard of Schunk. At first I thought it was one of the many hidden champions we have, but the Schunk group is hardly SME anymore, with over 9000 employees. Many people say that German companies overengineer things and that's why they are so expensive, but I do not think so. It's not overengineering, I see it as future-proofing.
Dang and i thought MY chuck was a monster!
Depending on lighting and angle we can still call yours average
its weird to see manufacturing companies that arent borderline abusive to their employees.
Welcome to Germany 😊
Great Blue World 💙
That's some next level stuff.. Wish I could expand my knowledge more and more.. Company too small to progress bigger
They manufacture the tools and the skills needed for manufacturing.
BOOM 🚀
1000x👍🏼💪🏼
1:57 That is the Rock maker 5000000.
Very good 👍 👍👍👍😳😳😳
The best Job in the world
Chucks making chucks 😃😃😃
lmao when you were telling Simon he makes a lot of money for the company, you could tell he wanted to say "I wish they would share some with me"
Wow, nice DMG!
OMG ❤DUDE !! Please Shunk open up a satellite school in New York! Titan that goes for you too😂 luv ya man❤❤
He would be the first Tour group any of us ever heard coming.
Lights out unattended means....there used to be a shitton of people moving all that mat, people loading the machines....not anymore. just people to empty the chip bins.
Ha, in the US people are freaking out because incandescent light bulbs are being phased out (in germany that happened about 10 years ago), in Germany a company uses every technology to make their factory more energy efficient - at their own cost and initiative!
Maybe that ethos is, what drives the innovation and quality in the first place....
BOOM!!
Give them all oscars
