Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician job that aligns the optical center of lenses through precise measurement and adjustment.
Description
Centering workers are specialized technicians in the lens manufacturing process who accurately align the optical center of lenses. They secure the lens in a centering machine and measure the optical axis using instruments such as autocollimators. They repeatedly perform rotational and vertical adjustments to refine the center position and mark the center. This serves as a reference for subsequent grinding, polishing, or hole-drilling processes, playing a critical role in determining the product's optical performance. High attention to detail and skills in operating precision equipment are required.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand for high-precision lenses in optical devices, camera modules, AR/VR lenses, and automotive sensors, stable job opportunities are expected. Market value improves by developing skills in automation technology and high-value-added products.
