Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Foil point manufacturing workers are specialists who manufacture metal foil point parts through press processing, grinding, and finishing processes, and handle final inspections.
Description
Foil point manufacturing workers use press machines, grinding machines, polishing tools, etc., to manufacture precision metal parts called foil points. Based on product drawings, they cut sheet metal materials, perform press forming, deburring, welding or brazing, and ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality through grinding and polishing. After completion, they inspect using calipers or micrometers to confirm they are within specified tolerances. Duties also include improving yield rates on production lines and equipment maintenance, contributing to overall quality improvement in the manufacturing process.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of automation and high precision in manufacturing, the demand for fine processing technology is increasing. Although some automation is progressing with the introduction of CNC, skilled workers who handle advanced finishing processes will continue to be in demand.
