ELEVENTH WEEK

Last Thursday, two of our partners made the english presentation, especifically; Iker B. and Unai.
They talked about Dual Vocational Training. It's consists about studying in the morning at the school until 1:00 p.m, go to eat lunch and the go to your company to work about 3-4 hours. The main purpouse is to gain experience on the laboral world.

The company pretends that after the student finishes the contract and the practises, he/she signs a new contract if the student its been working well. The companys make big efforts and the give opportunities to form people and also they spend money on them. The Dual Formation is not required and everyone have the chance to make the intreviews to get a place on a company.

In our group, the only partner who is in Dual is Iker B. and he is working in Alga. since last summer. He started working with the engineers on the dessign section with a engineer as his instructor learning how to dessign pieces. After that, he moved to maintenance learning how to fix machines and how to make the preventive maintenace of the machines. He also had some sporadics works like mounting wardrobes or painting walls and doors. Now he is going to start learning how to weld, he doesn't do anything like this before but he is optimistic.

Last week we started the new challenge. This one is about programming a station wich classifies pieces of diferent colour, they are moved by mechanical arms with air suction cups. The black pieces are expelled to the area of waste. The orange and the silver pieces take an elevator and a cylinder throws to a spinning plate trough a tape. Then the plate spins a quarter and simulates the drilling.

When another piece arrives, the plate spins another quarter and the piece simulates the stamping. The plate spins another quarter and this time the crane with air suction cup will take the piece and move it to each colors tube.

We also started doing the exercises we have to send to our teachers, there are a total of 4. Most of them are already finished and checked on the PLC.  We have to finish this challenge on the second week we come back from christmas holidays. We will continue writing this blog after the new yearand holidays.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
