Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician who processes aluminum wire rods using wire drawing machines (wire drawers) to achieve the specified diameter and shape.
Description
Aluminum wire drawing workers use wire drawing machines (wire drawers) to draw aluminum blocks or coil-shaped semi-products, reducing the wire diameter and manufacturing wire rods that match product specifications. In the process, the wire rod diameter is gradually reduced by passing through dies via hot or cold drawing, repeating the drawing while applying appropriate lubrication and cooling to achieve the desired cross-sectional dimensions and surface condition. After manufacturing, dimensional inspections and appearance inspections are conducted using micrometers or calipers, followed by coiling and packaging. They handle machine operation, die replacement, and maintenance inspections in the production line, and knowledge of quality control and process improvement is also required. The work is mainly standing work in factories, and safety and health management is important due to noise and high-temperature environments.
Future Outlook
Demand for aluminum wire for automobiles and electronic components remains steady, and with the introduction of labor-saving and automation equipment, there is a need for advanced skills not only in machine operation but also in maintenance and quality control.
