Rotec Welcomes Work Experience Student

This week the team at Rotec Hydraulics were pleased to welcome Emily, a 15-year-old student from Bridgwater College Academy, for a three-day work experience placement.

Emily came to us with a passion for art and design, and was curious to explore how her creative skills could align with a future career.

She was hosted by a few departments within the company, including Marketing, Technical Design, Accounts and the Warehouse.

On her first day, Emily worked with Marketing Manager, Rachel, and was shown how marketing works. She was tasked to design two social media posts and we discussed how to get the attention of new and existing customers.

The next day, she spent the day with Richard and John from Rotec’s Technical Design Team. Emily was shown how engineers use software developing and create technical diagrams. She got the chance to design a keychain with a 3D printer and made one. Following lunch, she joined Kelly and Sam in Accounts where she helped check if invoices had been paid.

On her last day Emily rejoined Rachel in Marketing and worked at the warehouse with Olga. Olga showed Emily how we package and deliver parcels. She also saw how engineers construct and how they build different projects which she found cool and fascinating.

Emily commented,

“My favourite part from what I have done in three days is designing and marketing, I really liked how the engineers were designing projects, and how marketing worked. The experience really opened my view on future job options. Based on what I learned so far, my ideas on designing and engineering have expanded quite a lot.

Overall, my three- day work experience went better than I expected. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and working at Rotec has taught me a lot over the three days.”

Rotec’s Marketing Manager and the entire team were impressed by Emily’s willingness to learn and how quickly she picked up new skills.

Ram Reman Ltd Bolsters Engineering Capabilities with Major Investment in Advanced CNC Technology

100% Achilles audit _Rotec Hydraulics Ltd

Ram Reman Ltd, a member of the Rotec Group, is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its manufacturing and repair capabilities following the acquisition of new High-Performance Turning Centre.

This strategic investment marks a new chapter for the company, significantly increasing the complexity, precision, and speed with which Ram Reman can produce high-quality hydraulic components and bespoke engineered parts, including cylinders, manifolds, fittings and caps.

What this means for our customers

The state-of-the-art CNC machine is designed for maximum productivity. It features include a Y-axis and Live Tooling, which allows for “one-hit” machining. This means that complex milling, drilling, and tapping operations can be performed on the same machine, eliminating the need for multiple setups on different machines.

For Ram Reman’s customers, this translates to:

  • Faster Turnaround Times: By completing parts in a single setup, production time is reduced significantly.
  • Superior Accuracy: Eliminating the transfer of parts between machines reduces the risk of human error and ensures tighter tolerances.
  • Increased Complexity: The Y-axis capability allows for the creation of intricate off-centre features that previously required significant manual intervention.
  • Enhanced Capacity: With a 320mm turning diameter and extended bed length (LTY), the machine is perfectly suited for the large-scale rods and cylinders that are manufactured and refurbished at Ram Reman.

The investment is part of a wider group strategy by the Rotec Group to stay at the forefront of the UK engineering sector. By integrating this advanced technology into the Ram Reman facility, both Ram Reman and Rotec Hydraulics are better equipped to support critical sectors including construction, marine, agriculture, defence and industrial manufacturing.

Tony Foster, Technical Manager at Ram Reman Ltd, commented:

“The arrival of the new CNC machine is a game-changer for our workshop. As part of the Rotec Group, we pride ourselves on providing an outstanding response to customers’ repair and manufacturing needs. This machine allows us to take on more complex work in-house, ensuring we maintain total control over quality while significantly reducing lead times for our clients.”

Ram Reman Ltd is a specialist in the refurbishment, manufacture, and design of hydraulic cylinders. Based in Wimborne, Dorset, the company serves a nationwide client base. For more information, visit www.ramreman.co.uk.
