Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures integrated lens units by bonding and laminating multiple optical lenses.
Description
Lens lamination workers combine and bond multiple optical lenses used in cameras, microscopes, and telescopes to integrate them. They work in clean rooms, using microscopes and dedicated jigs to precisely perform center alignment of lenses, adjustments of face-to-face distances and angles. After appropriately applying adhesive, they cure it using methods such as pressurization, heating, and UV irradiation. After bonding, they conduct optical quality inspections for items such as transmittance, distortion, and presence of surface defects. If standards are not met, they perform readjustments or rework to maintain high precision and consistency. In recent years, automation equipment is being introduced, but manual work by skilled technicians is required for fine position adjustments and prototype development.
Future Outlook
With the increasing performance and miniaturization of optical equipment, high-precision bonding technology is required. While some processes are being automated, demand for skilled technicians is expected to continue in steps requiring fine adjustments.
