Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized profession that uses press machines and molds to perform embossing to form concave-convex patterns or letters on metal sheets.
Description
Emboss workers specialize in embossing processing to form concave-convex patterns or letters on metal plates or sheets. Using press machines or roll press machines, they pass metal through molds to deform the surface and create decorative reliefs. Before operations, they set up and adjust molds and confirm processing conditions. After processing, they inspect dimensions and pattern accuracy using calipers or micrometers. They also conduct machine maintenance checks and mold maintenance, and are required to handle abnormalities from the perspectives of safety management and quality control.
Future Outlook
While automation of embossing machines advances with the efficiency and automation of manufacturing, demand for high precision and decorative needs persists. Demand for workers skilled in machine maintenance and programming is expected to remain at a steady level going forward.
