Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Copper wire manufacturing workers produce wire materials from copper raw materials, handling a series of processes from melting to rolling, drawing, surface treatment, and winding.
Description
Copper wire manufacturing workers melt raw materials such as copper ingots in furnaces, process them into plate or rod shapes using casting and rolling machines, and then stretch them into thin wires using drawing machines to produce copper wire. In the production process, they manage temperature and tension, perform surface treatment and annealing (heat treatment), and conduct inspections for dimensions and surface quality. After manufacturing, they wind the wire onto reels using winding machines, prepare for packaging and shipping, and also handle maintenance and inspection of machines and equipment, as well as safety and health management.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of electric vehicles and renewable energy sectors, demand for copper wire is on an increasing trend, but automation and AI control technologies are advancing, requiring skilled workers to perform more advanced equipment maintenance and improvement activities.
