Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician who shapes grinding wheels for grinding and finishes them to precise dimensions.
Description
Grinding wheel finishers receive grinding wheels (grinding wheels) for grinding from the manufacturing process, shape and polish them using outer diameter grinders, surface grinders, and hand tools, and remove burrs. They precisely measure dimensions using micrometers and calipers, and correct runout and eccentricity with dynamic balance adjustment machines. They manage the surface roughness and dimensional tolerances of products to complete grinding wheels that meet quality standards. Finished products are mounted on grinding machines for metal or ceramic processing and used for high-speed rotational material cutting. They comply with safety standards and handling procedures, contributing to maintaining a stable production line.
Future Outlook
Although productivity will improve with the introduction of automation equipment, skilled workers are needed for high-precision finishing work, so a certain level of demand is expected to continue.
