Our Commitment to Your Team
When you invest in a Frand automatic assembly machine, you are not just purchasing equipment — you are investing in a production capability that your team needs to operate confidently, efficiently, and independently from day one.
That is why we provide comprehensive, professional machine operation training at no additional cost to every customer who places an order with us. Training is not an upsell, not a premium add-on, and not a line item on your invoice. It is a standard, integral part of every machine purchase — because we believe that a machine is only as effective as the team that operates it.
When Does Training Take Place?
Training is conducted after the machine is fully built, tested, and ready for delivery — ensuring that your team learns on the exact machine they will be operating in production, not on a different unit or a training simulator.
The training timeline follows a clear sequence:
Phase | Timing | Detail |
Order confirmation | Upon order placement | We schedule the training window and coordinate logistics with your team — confirming dates, location, and the number of participants |
Machine completion | After build and factory testing | Once the machine passes all internal quality checks and production trials, we notify your team that the machine is ready for training |
Training delivery | Immediately after machine completion | Training begins as soon as the machine is ready — minimizing the gap between training and production startup |
Machine delivery | After training completion | The machine is shipped to your facility with your trained operators ready to run it from day one |
This sequence ensures that when the machine arrives at your factory, your team already knows it inside and out — reducing startup time, eliminating early-production errors, and accelerating your path to full-capacity output.
Training Duration — Tailored to Machine Complexity
The length of training is determined by the complexity of the machine — because a simple single-station assembly machine requires a different depth of instruction than a multi-station, multi-process production line with integrated inspection systems.
Machine Complexity | Typical Training Duration | Examples |
Standard complexity | 1 – 3 days | Single-process assembly machines with straightforward operation sequences and limited parameter configurations |
Moderate complexity | 3 – 5 days | Multi-station assembly machines with multiple process steps, programmable recipe management, and integrated quality inspection |
High complexity | 5 – 7 days | Full production lines with multiple assembly processes, CCD vision inspection, air tightness testing, medium-frequency welding, and advanced PLC control systems |
During the training period, your team will receive instruction on every aspect of machine operation — from basic startup and shutdown procedures to advanced parameter adjustment, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance.
What Training Covers
Our training program is comprehensive and hands-on — designed to ensure that your operators, technicians, and maintenance personnel can operate the machine independently and confidently after training is complete.
For Operators
- Machine startup and shutdown — correct procedures for powering on, initializing, and shutting down the machine safely;
- Material loading and feeding — how to load raw materials (steel coils, components, fasteners) into the machine's feeding systems correctly and efficiently;
- Parameter settings and recipe management — how to select, adjust, and switch between production recipes for different clamp sizes and product types using the HMI touch-screen interface;
- Normal operation monitoring — what to watch for during production, how to identify normal operating conditions versus potential issues, and when to intervene;
- Finished product handling — how to collect, inspect, and handle finished products emerging from the machine;
- Basic quality checks — how to perform routine visual inspections and dimensional checks on assembled products to verify quality.
For Technicians and Maintenance Personnel
- Electrical and control system overview — understanding the PLC architecture, sensor layout, servo drive configuration, and HMI interface;
- Pneumatic system operation — understanding the air supply system, valve manifolds, cylinder operations, and pressure settings;
- Mechanical adjustment — how to adjust forming dies, curling tools, cutting blades, and assembly stations for different product sizes;
- Routine maintenance procedures — daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks including lubrication, cleaning, inspection, and component replacement schedules;
- Wear part identification and replacement — how to identify components that require periodic replacement (cutting blades, forming dies, welding electrodes, seals) and how to replace them correctly;
- Safety system understanding — understanding the machine's safety interlocks, emergency stop functions, light curtain systems, and safe work procedures.
For Production Managers
- Production planning — how to calculate throughput, plan shift schedules, and optimize machine utilization for maximum output;
- Quality data interpretation — how to read and interpret production logs, inspection records, and reject data for continuous improvement;
- Spare parts management — guidance on recommended spare parts inventory to maintain on-site for uninterrupted production.
Training Format — Hands-On and Interactive
Our training is not a lecture. It is a hands-on, interactive learning experience conducted directly on the machine:
- Live demonstration — our engineers operate the machine while your team observes, learning by watching the complete production cycle;
- Guided operation — your team takes control of the machine under the direct supervision of our engineers, performing every operation themselves;
- Scenario-based practice — your team practices common production scenarios including size changeovers, material loading, parameter adjustments, and basic troubleshooting;
- Q&A sessions — dedicated time for your team to ask questions, clarify uncertainties, and explore specific topics of interest;
- Documentation review — walking through the machine's technical manuals, maintenance schedules, and operating procedures together.
Ongoing Technical Support — We Never Stop Answering
Training does not end when the machine ships. Our commitment to your team's knowledge and confidence is continuous and ongoing.
After the machine is installed and running in your facility, our technical team remains available to answer your questions — anytime you have a question about any issue, any part, or any function of our machines.
Whether it is:
- A question about a specific parameter setting;
- Uncertainty about a maintenance procedure;
- Confusion about an alarm code or error message;
- A need for guidance on a size changeover;
- A question about spare part identification or ordering;
- Or any other technical question related to your machine —
We will respond. Promptly, professionally, and with the specific, actionable answer you need to keep your production running smoothly.
This ongoing support is available through multiple channels:
Support Channel | Description |
Phone | Direct access to our technical support team for immediate assistance |
Video call | Remote visual support — our engineers can see your machine and your situation in real time, providing precise guidance |
Email | Detailed technical responses with diagrams, documentation, and step-by-step instructions |
Remote PLC access | For control system issues, our engineers can connect remotely to diagnose and resolve PLC-related problems |
On-site visit | When remote support is not sufficient, we dispatch technicians to your facility for hands-on resolution |
Why We Offer Training for Free
Some companies charge separately for training — treating it as a revenue opportunity. We do not.
We offer training for free because a well-trained customer is a successful customer — and a successful customer is a customer who produces more, grows faster, and comes back for more. When your team operates the machine confidently and efficiently, you get more value from your investment, you produce higher-quality products, and you build a stronger business.
That success reflects directly on us — and it strengthens the partnership between your company and ours for years to come.
Free training is not a cost to us. It is an investment in your success — and in our shared future.
