Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician responsible for assembling parts of bulbs (discharge tubes) that generate infrared rays, including vacuum sealing, soldering, and appearance and performance inspections.
Description
Infrared bulb assemblers perform processes such as parts processing, assembly, vacuum sealing, gas injection, and soldering for infrared discharge tubes manually and using machinery. After assembly, they confirm quality through measurements of discharge characteristics and voltage properties, appearance inspections, and airtightness tests, and ship products that pass the standards. Work is often conducted in cleanroom environments, requiring safety in handling and work precision due to the delicate nature of the tasks.
Future Outlook
Demand for infrared bulbs used in industrial heating equipment and medical devices remains stable, but manual work may decrease due to automation of manufacturing processes and overseas transfers. Enhancing skills in production technology and quality control will improve future prospects.
