Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that operates hydraulic press machines to process metal materials into predetermined shapes. Also performs die changes, dimensional inspections, and machine maintenance inspections.
Description
Hydraulic press workers use hydraulic press machines to apply pressure to metal materials and form parts through dies. They set up materials according to work procedures and configure processing conditions (pressure, speed, stroke). After forming, they measure dimensions and shapes to manage quality. They also regularly perform die changes and machine inspections/maintenance to ensure safety and hygiene. They are required to adjust equipment and propose improvements to improve production line productivity and reduce defect rates.
Future Outlook
Due to labor shortages and increasing automation needs, traditional manual press operations are declining, but there continues to be demand for workers skilled in automated line maintenance and operation, precision management, multi-skilling, and similar areas.
