Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician job that evacuates the air inside bulbs and electron tubes to create a vacuum and seals the glass by heating and fusion sealing.
Description
Bulb and electron tube exhaust and sealing workers handle the process on the production line of evacuating air from spherical containers assembled with glass or metal parts using a vacuum pump, and heating the sealing part to melt and seal the glass. They operate vacuum measurement instruments and temperature control devices to maintain the specified vacuum level and sealing quality. After the work, they conduct leak tests and appearance inspections to prevent defective products from flowing out. The work is mainly standing in a clean room environment, and knowledge of safety and health, process management, and equipment maintenance is also required.
Future Outlook
Although the demand for traditional bulbs and electron tubes is declining due to advances in LED lighting and semiconductor manufacturing technology, an increase in needs for vacuum equipment and automation technology for special applications is expected.
