Summary
A technical job that assembles refractometers, a type of optical instrument, and performs optical path adjustment, calibration, and final inspection.
Description
Refractometer assemblers are craftsmen who manufacture refractometers used for measuring refractive index. Based on drawings and specifications, they manually assemble optical components such as prisms and lenses, and align the optical path. After assembly, they perform calibration and adjustment using standard solutions and confirm measurement accuracy. They conduct final inspections using precision tools such as microscopes, spectrometers, and micrometers, and create inspection records for quality assurance. Work in clean rooms or dust-proof environments may be required.
Future Outlook
Demand for high-precision optical instruments is expanding in IoT and precision measurement fields, and the refractometer market is growing steadily. There will be even greater demand for personnel skilled in fine assembly and automation technology.
