Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation manufactures tape used as insulating material for electric wires and cables by applying resin or adhesive that imparts insulation to fabric base materials, followed by drying, cutting, and winding.
Description
The insulation tape manufacturing worker (fabric) is responsible for uniformly applying resin or adhesive to fabric base materials, solidifying them in a drying furnace, slitting them to specified widths with a slitter, and finishing them into reels with a winding machine. They operate production line machinery, adjust various parameters, conduct quality inspections (such as thickness measurement and appearance checks), and prevent the occurrence of defects. Since the products are used as insulating materials for electric wires, cables, and motors, high uniformity and insulation performance are required. They monitor the line's operating status while maintaining safety, hygiene, and production efficiency, and also perform maintenance and setup changes.
Future Outlook
With the spread of electric vehicles and renewable energy, stable demand for a certain volume of insulating materials is anticipated. On the other hand, the introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies is progressing, with a trend toward requiring advanced machine monitoring and maintenance skills.
