Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job responsible for assembling optical and mechanical parts of cameras, along with adjustments and inspections.
Description
Camera assemblers combine the components of the camera body on manufacturing lines or dedicated workbenches, precisely adjusting and securing them according to specified procedures. Since they handle minute parts, they use measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers to measure dimensions and gaps, and perform focus adjustments and operation tests. In some cases, electrostatic discharge (ESD) measures and work in clean rooms are required, and post-assembly appearance inspections and operation inspections are conducted to ensure product quality.
Future Outlook
While some tasks will be automated due to advances in automated assembly and robotics, the demand for skilled workers is expected to remain due to the increasing sophistication of fine adjustments and quality control.
