Insulated Wire Stranding Worker
ひふくでんせんねんこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Insulated wire stranding workers twist conductors such as copper wires together and apply insulating coverings to manufacture wires.
Description
Insulated wire stranding workers set raw copper wires into machines, twist multiple wires together at a fixed pitch using stranding machines, and then apply insulating coverings with resins such as polyvinyl chloride and ethylene vinyl acetate using extruders. During manufacturing, they measure and inspect the uniformity of the stranding, covering thickness, and appearance to perform quality control. They also handle machine adjustments, simple maintenance, troubleshooting during abnormalities, line startups, and changeovers. The work involves standing for long periods and handling heavy coils in mass production environments, requiring accuracy and physical stamina.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for high-performance cables in fields such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, the need for specialized wire manufacturing technicians may increase. On the other hand, as labor reduction and automation progress, acquiring skills in machine maintenance and automation technology will be required.
