Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker who straightens die materials from aluminum slabs or blocks before and after rolling to ensure flatness and dimensional accuracy.
Description
Light alloy die material straightening worker (aluminum rolling) is a job that measures the surface, shape, and plate thickness of aluminum slabs or blocks processed in rolling machines, and uses specialized straightening equipment to flatten and adjust dimensions. The work is performed before and after the rolling line, where measuring instruments are used to check plate thickness and flatness, and hydraulic or mechanical straightening machines stretch and compress the material to remove irregularities. Fine adjustments are made while considering temperature control and cooling conditions to maintain high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. On site, they collaborate with other operators and maintenance staff, adhering to safety regulations while proceeding with the work.
Future Outlook
With the increasing demand for lightweighting in automobiles and aircraft, the demand for high-precision aluminum rolled materials is growing, making the securing of skilled technicians a challenge. Although automation and IoT are advancing, final quality requires manual inspection and fine adjustments, so stable demand is expected.
