Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves inspecting, maintaining, and repairing boring machines (boring equipment) to ensure stable machine operation and maintain machining accuracy.
Description
Boring machine maintenance workers, in factories and elsewhere, disassemble and assemble boring machines, perform lubrication, replace worn parts, make adjustments and calibrations, handle preventive maintenance to prevent machine breakdowns in advance, and perform quick repairs when issues arise. They use measuring instruments such as dial gauges and thickness gauges to check machining conditions, diagnose wear on bearings and sliding parts, measure vibrations, adjust foundations, and more. Since this directly impacts production lines and quality, they adhere to regular inspection schedules, create maintenance records, and submit reports.
Future Outlook
Stable demand continues as an essential occupation for maintaining manufacturing production lines. The adoption of predictive maintenance using IoT and AI is progressing, requiring even greater diagnostic skills and data analysis abilities.
