Mohonasen High School students during a presentation on the 50 year history of China Machine, Inc. Indutries
On Thursday March 10th, China Machine hosted 50 students from Mohonasen High School. The ninth grade Technology class consisted of two groups of students accompanied by the Asst. Superintendent of Mohonasen and Gerald Garing the Career Technology Counselor.
In the attached photos we are greeting the students and giving them the 50 year history of China Machine, Inc. with a PowerPoint presentation. Following the presentation the students toured the China Machine, Inc. MFG facility to see how the company operates on a daily basis. The students were separated into 2 groups which were lead by Joe Michonski, General Manger of Mfg and Mark Vecchio, Manager of Estimating. The students were very well mannered and interested in how the components were being made. They enjoyed being able to see the machines running and utilizing the live tooling as well as hearing our operators explain the process and skill needed to manufacture the parts. There was much fascination with the before and after; from raw material to finished part. We hope that we were impressive enough to help encourage some into considering a career of manufacturing.
Mohonasen High School Students
China Machine, Inc. has partnered with Mohonasen for school year 2010-2011 with an in house Intern/Apprentice Program. A senior is selected by a Mohonasen counselor who is interested in pursuing a career in manufacturing/engineering. The selected student will work a minimum of 10 hours per week working within the structure of his/her daily school schedule. During this period the student will have an opportunity to observe and work in each of our departments including Quality Control, Shop Floor, Production, and Warehouse Shipping & Receiving. This gives the student a clear idea of the process flow in manufacturing daily activities. After the student works a total of 105 hours he/she will become a paid apprentice. Once the student reaches the age of 18 he/she will be able to participate in hands-on training and operation of selected machining equipment in our shop. This hands-on opportunity and closeness with the daily operations of our manufacturing facility will add invaluable assets to the students training in preparation for a career in the manufacturing industry. Our first participant is Kyle who will turn 18 in a month and he will begin his hands-on training to setup, program, and operate one of our CNC machines.

In keeping up with our customer’s needs for close tolerance parts on large and small parts, China Machine added to its arsenal of metrology tools the latest FARO portable measurement arm.
Latest advances in hardware and software have brought this technology to a level where it is now possible to measure large and small parts with amazing accuracy–within tenths of thousands. Thermal compensation and the use of graphite composites have both added to reliability of this device.
From our smallest machining center to our largest VTL, China Machine, Inc. now has the flexibility to take real time data at the machine in order to guarantee a precise end product. This new addition complements our fully outfitted QC department.
