Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker who grinds the edges of glass products to form smooth and safe surfaces.
Description
Glass beveling workers remove unnecessary burrs or chips from the edges (corners) of products such as window glass and automotive glass in the manufacturing process, creating uniform and smooth surfaces. They perform mechanical processing using diamond wheels or grinding machines, and hand polishing for finishing, measuring dimensions and angles with calipers while proceeding with the work. Since there are risks of breakage and injury during processing, the use of safety devices and protective gear, and strict adherence to work procedures are required. They also collaborate with the quality control department for adjustments and improvement proposals to meet product standards.
Future Outlook
Amid the advancement of automation in manufacturing, high-precision finishing work still requires human labor, so demand for personnel with specialized skills is expected to be maintained to a certain extent.
