Thread Winder (Chemical Fiber Manufacturing)
いとくりこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Responsible for the spinning and winding processes of chemical fibers, operating spinning machines to produce synthetic fibers from raw materials.
Description
The Thread Winder (Chemical Fiber Manufacturing) operates melt or solution spinning machines in the spinning process to manufacture chemical fibers such as polyester and nylon, drawing out filaments at specified speeds and tensions, and winding them onto bobbins or cones using winding devices. They also handle machine startup and shutdown, re-threading during yarn breaks, inspection of product thickness and appearance, creation of production records, and safety and health management. Shift-based rotating shifts are common, requiring quick response capabilities to machine troubles and quality defects.
Future Outlook
While automation and robotization progress, production bases for high-value-added fibers are expected to remain, and demand for skilled workers is projected to continue to a certain extent.
