Summary
Manufacturing job that produces fuses for electrical equipment and automobiles. Responsible for a series of processes from metal processing to assembly, inspection, and packaging.
Description
Fuse manufacturing workers produce fuses, which are safety components that protect circuits from overcurrent. They set raw materials such as metal strips and ceramic tubes into machines and perform line operations from cutting, pressing, enclosing fuse elements, sealing, assembly, printing, inspection, to packaging. They handle machine operation and adjustment, quality control through dimensional measurement and visual inspection of products. In case of machine trouble, they perform simple maintenance work, and participate in 5S and improvement activities to enhance production efficiency. Shift work is common, and flexible response according to production plans is required.
