Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that assembles lens parts for optical instruments and precisely adjusts them to standards for optical axis, image quality, etc.
Description
Lens adjusters assemble lenses or lens groups used in optical instruments such as microscopes, cameras, and telescopes, and check optical axis, focal length, aberrations, etc., using measuring instruments. Based on the measurement results, they adjust the position and angle of the lenses using fine adjustment devices and tools to bring the optical performance of the product within specifications. Work in clean rooms, handling of precision instruments, and basic knowledge of optical theory are required. They also handle quality inspections and traceability management, requiring high attention to detail.
Future Outlook
Due to expanding demand for optical products such as AR/VR devices and autonomous driving sensors, precise lens adjustment technicians will be stably needed.
