Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that uses high-frequency (high-frequency induction heating) sewing machines to heat-seal plastic sheets, synthetic fibers, etc., and process them into product shapes.
Description
High-frequency sewing machine operators soften plastic or synthetic fiber sheets using high-frequency induction heating and form welded parts by pressing them together. Following product drawings or process instructions, they set welding conditions (temperature, pressure, time), conduct quality inspections, and implement measures for defective products. While handling one part of line production, they also perform simple equipment maintenance and setup changes.
Future Outlook
With the diversification and high functionalization of plastic products, demand for personnel skilled in high-frequency welding technology remains stable. As automation and IoT introduction advance machine sophistication, skills in equipment maintenance and process improvement become increasingly important.
