Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical occupation that assembles parts of metalworking machines (such as lathes and milling machines), adjusts precision, and conducts test runs.
Description
Metal machine tool assembly and adjustment workers assemble machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, and grinding machines from the component level, using dedicated tools and measuring instruments (dial gauges, micrometers, calipers, etc.) to adjust precision. They interpret drawings, perform tightening with torque wrenches, shaft alignment adjustments, and performance inspections via test runs to ensure machine tolerances. In post-assembly adjustment tasks, they may also identify defect causes, disassemble, and readjust. Work is often performed in teams, requiring awareness of safety management and quality control.
Future Outlook
Even as manufacturing sites advance in automation and robotization, demand for precision adjustments and startup operations is expected to continue.
