Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation that manufactures glass products such as light bulbs and electron tubes. Responsible for everything from glass forming to installation of internal components, evacuation, sealing, and inspection.
Description
Bulb and electron tube manufacturing workers are responsible for the production processes of glass-made light bulbs and vacuum tubes. They form raw material glass pipes, assemble internal components such as electrodes and filaments, use vacuum pumps to evacuate the interior, and seal it. After sealing, they perform firing treatment to enhance durability. In the final process, they conduct inspections of luminous intensity and electrical characteristics, and ship products that meet the specified quality standards. Although production lines are becoming more automated, manual adjustments and inspections are still required. Process management skills such as temperature control and vacuum management are important, and work is done in clean rooms or high-temperature environments.
Future Outlook
Incandescent bulbs are seeing a decline in demand due to the spread of LED lighting. On the other hand, vacuum tubes retain niche demand for high-end audio applications and special industrial uses, requiring technology inheritance and advancement.
