Training as a Polymechanic EFZ

These exciting topics await you during your training as a polymechanic EFZ:

• Programming, setting up and operating machines
• Machining individual parts using lathes, milling machines, drilling machines and grinding machines
• Monitoring manufacturing processes
• Inspecting finished workpieces

Polymechanics implement new developments and produce high-tech workpieces. They programme their work on modern computer-controlled machines or work on conventional milling and turning machines. Based on design drawings, they determine the machining steps and programme complex workpieces. They inspect the finished workpieces using high-precision measuring and testing instruments. They assemble equipment, systems and machines or commission them.
