Coil Winder (Electric Motor Manufacturing)
まきがたこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation manufactures the winding sections that significantly influence product performance by winding coils onto molds or cores for electric motors and performing insulation processing. It uses manual labor or automatic winding machines and requires high precision and skills.
Description
Coil winders (electric motor manufacturing) handle winding operations, winding copper or aluminum wire used in electric motors such as motors and generators onto molds or slots. They prepare materials, insert insulating paper, and operate automatic winding machines or hand-winding tools to form coils according to the specified number of turns and winding patterns. After forming, they perform insulation processing (impregnation and drying), dimensional inspections, and dielectric strength tests to verify quality. Since winding accuracy and insulation quality directly impact the performance and durability of electric motors, high attention to detail and skills are required. The work is mainly standing in factories, and coordination among workers and with production lines is important.
Future Outlook
Demand for electric motors is expanding in industrial machinery, electric vehicles, and other areas, making it a challenge to secure skilled technicians. While some tasks will be mechanized due to advances in automation and robotization, the demand for personnel with high-precision winding skills is expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future.
