Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician who assembles mechanical and electronic parts of length measuring instruments (such as micrometers and laser gauges), precisely adjusts and inspects them to ensure quality.
Description
Length gauge assemblers handle the assembly, adjustment, and inspection of instruments that measure length, such as micrometers, calipers, and laser gauges. The work involves selecting parts based on mechanical drawings and specifications, assembling them using tools like screwdrivers and torque wrenches, and then precisely checking dimensions and operations with micrometers and dial gauges. They perform quality control in accordance with JIS standards or company criteria, and make simple adjustments or corrections as needed after assembly. Work forms vary widely, including production on manufacturing lines, assembly in clean rooms, or single-unit production of custom instruments.
Future Outlook
Demand for high-precision measuring instruments remains stable, but manual assembly is declining due to advances in automation and robotics. However, the roles of skilled technicians in fine adjustments and inspections remain important. Skills adaptable to IoT sensors and smart factories will be required in the future.
