Summary
Operates machines that use electron beams to perform precision machining such as cutting, drilling, welding, and surface modification of metal materials, and is responsible for machine operation management and quality inspection as a technical role.
Description
Electron beam machining machine operators are specialists who irradiate metal materials with electron beams inside high-vacuum equipment, using melting or evaporation by beam energy to perform precision machining such as cutting, drilling, welding, and surface modification. They handle tasks including creating and setting up machining programs using CAD/CAM, operating and managing vacuum pumps and control systems, optimizing beam parameters, quality checks and dimensional measurements during machining, equipment maintenance inspections, and safety management. They are essential technicians mainly for manufacturing high-value-added parts related to automotive components, aerospace, and semiconductors.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for high-value-added parts in semiconductors, aerospace, and automobiles, stable demand is expected as a microfabrication technology. On the other hand, as labor-saving advances through high-level automation and robotization progress, acquiring machine maintenance and programming skills will lead to improved market value in the future.
