Bare Wire Worker
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A metalworking job that draws bare metal wires (uninsulated conductor wires) using wire drawing machines, etc., to achieve the specified diameter and quality.
Description
Bare wire workers pass metal materials such as copper or aluminum through wire drawing equipment and use dies to stretch them to the specified diameter. During processing, they strictly adjust drawing speed and tension, measure dimensions with micrometers or calipers, conduct quality inspections (appearance, resistance measurement, etc.), and then wind them into coils. They also handle machine maintenance, die replacement, lubrication, and troubleshooting, with work primarily involving standing in indoor factories.
Future Outlook
With advances in automation and labor reduction, monitoring and maintenance skills are emphasized. Due to increasing demand for high-conductivity materials for EVs and renewable energy, expertise is also required, making skill inheritance and adaptability key.
