Lens Rough Grinding Inspector
れんずあらずりけんさこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves precisely measuring the shape, dimensions, and surface condition of optical lenses after the rough grinding process and confirming quality standards.
Description
Lens rough grinding inspectors use measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers, interferometers, and optical microscopes to inspect shape accuracy, dimensional tolerances, and surface roughness on lenses that have completed the grinding process. They record and manage measurement data, identify non-conforming products, and provide feedback to finishing process personnel. They also calibrate and maintain measuring instruments and contribute to maintaining and improving work standards. Work is often performed in clean rooms, requiring the ability to perform detailed tasks accurately.
Future Outlook
With the expanding demand for high-performance optical products such as smartphone cameras and AR/VR devices, the demand for high-precision lens inspection skills will remain stable. As automation and AI-based image inspection technologies are introduced, there will be a greater need for advanced measurement techniques and data analysis capabilities.
