Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that inspects the surface, dimensions, and defects of aluminum plates to ensure product quality.
Description
Aluminum plate inspectors target thin aluminum sheets manufactured in factories. They use visual inspection and measuring instruments such as calipers and micrometers to check surface scratches, irregularities, cracks, thickness, and other dimensions, and perform pass/fail judgments based on JIS standards. They play a key role in stable production line operation and quality assurance, and also handle data recording and report preparation to reduce defect rates and improve yield. To maintain high-precision inspection results, their duties include periodic instrument calibration, review of measurement procedures, and proposals for improving inspection processes.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for high-performance aluminum materials for automobiles and aerospace, the importance of precision inspection is rising. In the future, the adoption of automatic inspection equipment and AI-based image inspection technology is expected to progress.
