Classification

Summary

A manufacturing technician who operates rolling mills and drawing machines for metal products to process metal sheets and strips to specified thickness, width, and length.

Description

Hot rolling and drawing workers process materials such as steel and non-ferrous metals by rolling them with rollers in a rolling mill while flattening them with a drawing machine to finish them to the specified dimensions of thickness, width, and flatness. In the work process, they manage material temperature, adjust rolling speed and tension, perform coiling and cutting, and are also responsible for dimensional inspections using micrometers and calipers, as well as appearance inspections. In factory line production, shift work is common, and physical strength and concentration are required due to handling heavy coils in high-temperature and noisy environments. When process defects occur, it is important to identify the causes and adjust the machines and processes.

While automation and labor reduction progress, the demand for personnel with advanced equipment management and quality control skills will continue.
