YOUR WORK DAY
07:00 a.m.
I get my orders from my supervisor and check the weekly schedule to see what's on the agenda for the day.

I prepare my respective workplace, be it the engraving machine, the lathe or my manual workstation. All the tools are carefully collected and prepared.

I start by maintaining the various parts of a mould. I remove aluminium residues or replace screws.
09:00 a.m.
Break.
09:30 a.m.
After the break, I go to the lathe. There I have to turn the bushes to the desired length. Once this is done, I insert them and check again that everything is correct.
11:00 a.m.
The upper part of the mould can now be engraved. I clamp it onto the machine, get the corresponding drawing from our programmers and start the engraving process.
12:00 p.m.
Lunch break! I am replaced by another employee.
12:30 p.m.
I go back to the machine and always measure the depth of the engraving between the individual passes.

The engraving is done and I now check each individual engraving with another employee. We enter our results in a checklist.
