Description
Magnetic compass assemblers are a profession responsible for manufacturing and assembling magnetic compasses (magnetic needles) used in navigation, aviation, surveying, and more. They combine parts such as magnetic needles, floats, damper oil, and glass domes according to instructions, performing screwing and bonding operations. After assembly, they conduct tests such as angle accuracy tests, vibration tests, and watertightness tests, making fine adjustments to ensure performance meets standards. They also handle minimizing errors using precision measuring instruments, creating quality inspection records, and managing operations in clean rooms.
