Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician responsible for the production processes of medical glass syringes, from melting raw glass to forming, inspection, and quality control.
Description
The glass syringe manufacturing worker handles the melting of glass, the primary material for medical syringes, and forming it using molds. After forming, annealing (slow cooling) is performed to prevent breakage or distortion. Product dimensions and surface conditions are measured using calipers, micrometers, and optical inspection equipment, checked to ensure they meet specifications, and then passed to the next process. Shift work in clean rooms or line production environments is standard, requiring knowledge of quality control techniques and foreign matter contamination prevention measures. Along with operating and monitoring automated equipment, this role involves optimizing manufacturing conditions, analyzing causes of defects, and contributing to process improvements.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is anticipated due to the expansion of the medical device market; however, with automation and robot implementation, the role of manufacturing operators will evolve, requiring advanced machine operation/monitoring skills and quality management capabilities.
