Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job involving assembly, inspection, and adjustment of coil parts used in ballasts (stabilizers) for fluorescent lights, etc.
Description
Ballast Coil Assemblers are responsible for manufacturing coil parts that are incorporated into ballasts (stabilizers) for fluorescent lights and similar devices. They accurately wind copper wire using specified winding machines or by hand, combine it with iron cores, apply insulating materials, inspect, and adjust to meet the required electrical characteristics. After assembly, they measure inductance, resistance values, and insulation resistance using an LCR meter, etc., and ship products that conform to quality standards. The work is primarily on production lines, requiring precise operations and safety management in accordance with drawings and work procedure manuals.
Future Outlook
Demand for fluorescent light ballasts is on a declining trend due to the普及 of LED lighting, but stable demand is expected through application of coil assembly technology to other electronic components such as transformers and inductors. With advances in automation and labor saving, career development into quality control and production engineering roles will become important.
