Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technical position that operates an extruder to coat metal wires with rubber compounds, and performs quality inspections and machine maintenance.
Description
Extrusion workers load rubber compounds into the extruder, and by rotating the heated screw, form a uniform rubber coating on metal conductor wires. They finely adjust the machine's temperature and speed, and measure dimensions with calipers or micrometers. They check for defects such as burrs or bubbles through appearance inspections, and in case of abnormalities, perform die replacement or machine cleaning. They conduct regular daily inspections, lubrication, and part replacements, maintaining stable production while adhering to safety standards.
Future Outlook
Amid advancing automation and labor reduction in manufacturing, acquisition of process monitoring and quality control technologies using IoT and sensors is required. Basic extrusion technology is expected to have stable demand, and the value of skilled operators remains high.
