Summary
A job that inspects the quality of metal materials produced in the rolling process, checks for surface defects and dimensions, and prevents the outflow of defective products.
Description
Rolling inspectors inspect metal materials (such as steel sheets and metal strips) manufactured in the rolling process using visual checks and measuring instruments like micrometers, calipers, and thickness gauges to confirm surface scratches, dents, and dimensional errors. They record inspection results, identify and report products that do not meet quality standards, and prevent the outflow of defective products. They closely collaborate with production lines and quality control departments, and also participate in process improvements and defect cause analysis.
