Light bulb stem workers are specialists who manufacture and assemble stems, the internal components of light bulbs. They operate glass blowing machines and presses to melt and form glass, creating stems that hold lead-in wires. After forming, they insert lead wires, perform heat treatment, exhaust and seal using vacuum pumps, and conduct dimensional and visual inspections. Important tasks also include monitoring production line operations, inspecting and maintaining machinery, and complying with safety and health standards.
