Summary
A profession that inspects the appearance and dimensions of automotive metal fitting parts (bolts, nuts, brackets, etc.) using measuring instruments and confirms compliance with quality standards.
Description
Automotive metal fitting inspectors specialize in checking automotive parts' metal fittings for scratches, burrs, dimensional suitability, and other issues. They use instruments such as micrometers, vernier calipers, and measuring gauges to verify compliance with JIS standard tolerances. Inspection results are entered into records, defective products are removed from the line, and reports and feedback are provided for root cause analysis. They also perform periodic calibration checks on measuring instruments and participate in improvement activities in collaboration with the quality management department. They play a crucial role in maintaining production line efficiency and improving quality.
Future Outlook
Although automation and AI-based inspection technologies are advancing, the role of human quality control in final checks and equipment maintenance will continue. Demand is expected to remain stable by acquiring advanced skills and knowledge of instrument operation.
