ANOKA, Minn. -- The Anoka Technical College Foundation celebrated the final funding for a new multi-axis Swiss machine to the college's machine trades program this week.
The money for the machine was raised by a number of machining industry partners including Connexus Energy. The machine creates complex features on small components.
"Anoka Tech has had an amazing reputation with industry and putting out good technicians, but industry changes and one of the things was the need for Swiss machine training here at Anoka Tech," said Peter Gravett, Anoka Tech Foundation Development Director.
"Our part was a donation, a small donation in the tooling area," said Steve Swain with CNH Machine. "Without tooling that machine can spin around and around and it's not going to cut anything. And then we made a small donation in the materials area to make sure that the students had something that they could work with right away."
The Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority also helped to fund the machine with a $25,000 forgivable loan. Swiss machines are widely used in a number of machining companies in Anoka County.
