Manufacturing Technician Laser Cladding (m,f,d)

In a world shaped by population growth, urbanization, digitalization and environmental concerns, industrial reality is the true challenge. And that’s exactly where we at SKF want to be. Right at the center, providing reliable rotation for the real world.   

 

Our expertise is built on the development, design and manufacture of bearings, seals and lubrication systems. And we also provide machine health assessment, engineering and remanufacturing services. But what we’re really offering is an arena for innovation – an opportunity for our customers to use the tools we provide to explore, improve or rethink the performance of their rotating equipment. A place where even the smallest adjustment can make a big difference.   

 

LCV offers surface treatment and 3D printing for increasing the lifetime of industrial components, by creating harder coatings, with better wear resistance, less material consumption, low heat input and lower total cost of ownership. Our innovation in process technology is key, producing high-performance products, qualitative service and beyond state-of-the-art technology. To strengthen our team in Oudsbergen, we are looking for a talented
