Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves heat-treating glass products in an annealing furnace (annealing furnace) to remove internal stresses, thereby improving product strength and transparency. It plays a role in maintaining and enhancing quality through furnace temperature control and product inspection.
Description
Glass annealing workers are specialists who use annealing furnaces (annealing furnaces) to slowly cool and uniformly heat glass products, removing internal stresses to prevent cracking and improve strength and transparency. They manage furnace temperatures, control heating and cooling processes, and perform visual inspections and stress measurements on products. By setting appropriate annealing conditions and conducting uniform heat treatment, they maintain product quality while also contributing to production line efficiency.
Future Outlook
With the diversification and high functionalization of glass products, the demand for precise annealing technology is expected to continue. On the other hand, as automation and robot technology are introduced, some tasks will become mechanized, increasing the value of personnel with equipment management and process development capabilities.
