Summary
Manufacturing operator who heats metal parts using equipment such as furnaces or soldering machines and precisely joins parts together using brazing material.
Description
Brazing equipment operators use control panels of furnaces or soldering machines on production lines to heat metal parts to specified temperatures, melt brazing material, and bond parts together. They handle equipment startup and shutdown, periodic maintenance inspections, quality inspections (appearance and strength), and safety and health management. High precision in temperature control and adherence to work procedures are required. They may also adjust equipment settings and perform test operations when product specifications change or new materials are used.
Future Outlook
Stable job demand is expected due to increasing need for parts in automobiles and electronics, but as equipment automation and robotization advance, advanced skills and maintenance abilities will be more emphasized.
