Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that processes glass fiber into yarn form and manufactures glass cloth (woven glass fiber fabric) using a loom.
Description
Glass cloth weavers prepare yarn from glass fiber raw material and handle a series of processes from warping to weft insertion, weaving, and winding using manual or automatic looms. During production, they monitor for yarn breaks or tension issues and promptly adjust or repair them. The finished fabric undergoes quality inspection to ensure it meets specifications for width, length, and weight, and is then passed to the next process. The work primarily involves standing in factories, requiring measures against noise and fine fiber dust.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the expanding need for composite materials in automobiles, aircraft, and building materials. The introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies will advance the development of high-value-added products.
