Lake Fenton Robotics Team visits Wolverine Machine

 Wolverine Machine welcomed 9 students and 2 teachers from the Lake Fenton Robotics Team on Dec. 19, 2012. The main goal was to spark the interest in the students of the opportunities available in manufacturing and engineering in an industrial setting. Many of these skilled trades have been absent from high schools and colleges over the past several years. This has caused a shortage of qualified individuals to fill positions in CNC operations that are available all over the United States.

The students were shown programming using the IGEMS software and saw up close our water jet machine in action. They looked on as our quality manager and technician showcased the Zeiss Contura G2 and how it checks all points of a part for the correct measurements. They watched demonstrations of how light curtains and bump switches work, the Kiwa 510 Vertical machining center and Miyano LZ auto load lathe. Lastly they stopped off at the Acme Gridley screw machines, which is where Wolverine Machine got its start.

Manufacturing is alive and well, especially in the State of Michigan and we are looking at the next generation to keep it going. It is still a vital part in which we live but could quickly disappear unless we educate and inspire.
