Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that assembles parts of pressure equipment such as hydraulic and pneumatic devices for aircraft according to blueprints, and adjusts and inspects them.
Description
Aircraft pressure equipment workers are specialists who precisely assemble pressure equipment parts such as hydraulic pumps, valves, and actuators. They adhere to dimensional tolerances in manufacturing blueprints and use torque wrenches and precision measuring instruments for tightening and dimensional inspections. After assembly, they confirm airtightness using leak test equipment and remove defective products. High safety standards and quality control methods (5S, QC, etc.) are required, and they may work in clean rooms or on shift-based line operations.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for aircraft and stricter safety regulations, the demand for assemblers of precision parts is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, as automation and robotics are introduced, there is a trend toward acquiring more advanced inspection and automation skills.
