Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Lens centering workers are specialists who use centering devices to precisely align the center position of optical lenses, performing position adjustments, assembly, and inspections.
Description
Lens centering workers operate optical centering devices and micrometers to precisely align the central axis of optical lenses. They perform fine adjustments to polished surfaces, bonding, and curing processes. After completion, they measure optical performance using microscopes or interferometers and confirm that quality standards are met. Since even slight positional deviations can lead to product defects, attention to detail and concentration are required, and skilled manual dexterity is essential.
Future Outlook
With the advancement and diversification of optical devices, the demand for precision assembly technicians is expected to remain stable. While automation technologies and AI-based process management are being introduced, the role of skilled workers handling fine adjustments remains important.
