Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Bearing hoop manufacturing workers produce metal rings (hoops) used in bearings for automobiles and industrial machinery through processes such as rolling, cutting, and finishing.
Description
Bearing hoop manufacturing workers heat metal materials such as steel strips, extend them to the specified thickness and width using a rolling mill, then form them into ring shapes with a cutting machine, and manufacture hoops by performing chamfering, deburring, heat treatment, and dimensional inspection. They are required to start up equipment, change setups, maintain machinery, manage quality, and ensure thorough safety operations. To maintain fine dimensional tolerances, they accurately perform inspections using measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers, aiming to balance production efficiency and product quality.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the need for bearings in automobiles and industrial machinery, but the development of labor-saving measures and automation poses challenges in training skilled technicians.
