Günther Lichtl at his measuring activity in the measuring room in Vienna-Aspern.
Measurement Technician Günther Lichtl was part of the ten-member Opel Wien employee group, which worked from the beginning of February to the end of July at the Valenciennes PSA plant. And got the opportunity to fulfill a long-cherished wish.
This happened as follows: he spent most of his stay in France working in the measuring room of the Valenciennes plant. In June, however, the French planners approached him and asked him if he could support them in the Hordain assembly. Because of two new automatic transmissions clamping devices should be created to measure individual parts. Based on existing in Hordain components.
“Of course I immediately said yes,” says Günther Lichtl. For a week, the responsible planner picked him up from the hotel and they drove together to about twenty car-drive minutes from Valenciennes remote Hordain plant. “I’ve told you what Aspern looks like in the mess room, that we’re there
have a 3D scanner … Since the French planners have asked me if I could not do such measurement programs. “Günther Lichtl got to work:” I have programmed in measurement programs together with the measurement technicians from Hordain changes, so that the body parts can be completely measured. I am very proud of that. “And:” A complete body-measuring program has always been my dream. “
Right at the start
“I have created such a measuring program for the first time. It worked right away. That was really world class, “Lichtl describes his programming adventure in retrospect. Thanks for that? “The French were very surprised at the know-how we have in Aspern. It was a pleasure.”
