In the training class of the Central Mechanical Repair Plant, the workers servicing computer numerical control (CNC) machines improve their skills. This modern equipment was purchased as part of the investment project “Development of the Yoshlik I deposit” implemented by JSC “Almalyk MMC”.

The course “Programming on CNC metalworking machines and their operation” is organized outside of production according to the order of the Central Mechanical Repair Plant. It is designed for 40 training hours. It is planned to train 50 workers from the mechanical assembly shop, the vehicle and special equipment repair shop, 6 engineers from the technical department, as well as 6 representatives of the Scientific Production Association for the Production of Rare Metals and Hard Alloys. The first groups started classes on February 6, training will end on March 29.

The teachers are the specialists from the Personnel Training Center (PTC) “Stanovleniye” from Perm.

- Although our center has existed since 2012 – says Denis Avsyannikov, the Training Engineer at PTC “Stanovleniye”, – we came to Uzbekistan for the first time. Our educational institution provides training and retraining of personnel for industrial enterprises in Russia and the CIS countries. The goal of the center is the revival of industry and the formation of a new generation of machine builders.

The specialists of our PTC, including myself, have developed a number of programs for employees of your enterprises for programming, setting up, operating, maintaining, repairing and servicing CNC machines from various well-known companies, which were recently acquired by the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine.

We teach the AMMC workers to correctly draw up programs for the latest machine tools, then they are further tested on metal. And the most important postulate of our training is that the employee can ensure his safety and use the equipment safely.

I would like to note that the plant management has created all the necessary conditions for conducting classes.

The training includes both theoretical and practical parts. At the end of the course there will be an exam, during which each student will have to produce a suitable part, which will allow them to check how successfully they have mastered the skills. Anyone who successfully passes the knowledge test will be awarded appropriate certificates.

Subsequently, the students of our courses will be able not only to successfully operate CNC metalworking machines, but also to train their colleagues to operate them.
