High-Frequency Welder (Plastic Products Manufacturing)
こうしゅうはうぇるだーこう（ぷらすちっくせいひんせいぞう）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
High-frequency welder workers use high-frequency energy to locally weld plastic materials, continuously producing seal and assembly parts on the manufacturing line.
Description
High-frequency welder workers operate equipment that sandwiches plastic sheets or parts between molds and locally heats and welds them using high-frequency vibrations generated through high-frequency electrodes. They set welding conditions (frequency, output, time, pressure) and inspect weld strength and appearance. They also monitor line operations, perform daily equipment inspections and simple maintenance, and work in compliance with safety and health standards. Due to high product quality requirements, they also handle finishing tasks such as removing minor deformations or stringy burrs.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing progress, the demand for fine and high-precision welding technology remains stable, and skills to collaborate with IoT and automated equipment are required.
