Transmission Assembler (Industrial Machinery)
へんそくきくみたてこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that involves assembling parts, adjusting, and inspecting transmissions (gearboxes) installed in industrial machinery.
Description
Transmission assemblers use tools such as torque wrenches and calipers to assemble parts like gears, bearings, shafts, and synchronizing mechanisms, and adjust and inspect them based on specified torque and dimensional tolerances. They are also responsible for checking for abnormal noises or play during the assembly process and conducting performance tests after assembly. Since precision and safety are required, knowledge of quality control methods and 5S is also necessary. They work efficiently in collaboration with teams on production lines in factories.
Future Outlook
While automation and robot introduction are advancing, skilled workers are still needed for assembling high-precision transmissions, so new knowledge such as skill improvement and smart factory adaptation using IoT is required.
