Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves operating an angle bender machine to bend metal materials to specified angles and manufacture product parts.
Description
Angle bender workers operate angle bender machines (press brakes) to bend metal materials into specified angles and shapes. They read drawings, set processing conditions, safely operate the machine, and measure bending quality and dimensional accuracy. From continuous operations on mass production lines to small-lot, multi-variety production, they appropriately replace and adjust different dies and jigs for each product to maintain stable product quality. They also perform simple equipment maintenance, defect analysis, and collaboration with other departments, contributing to efficiency improvements and cost reductions in the manufacturing environment.
Future Outlook
Although simple tasks are decreasing due to advances in automation and robotization, demand for skilled angle bender workers is expected to continue in high-precision processing and small-lot multi-variety production.
