Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that mass-produces high-precision parts by cutting and forming metal screws (bolts, nuts, tapping screws, etc.) using machine tools, followed by heat treatment and surface treatment.
Description
Metal screw manufacturing workers process screw shapes using machine tools such as automatic screw cutting machines and NC lathes based on product drawings, and finish them into products by applying surface treatments like heat treatment and plating. They use measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers to inspect dimensions and thread pitches, and maintain stable quality through processing conditions, tool replacement and grinding, and machine maintenance. Shift work on mass production lines is common, and they may also be involved in improving the efficiency of manufacturing lines and introducing automation technology.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing progress, demand continues for high-precision and custom-specification screw manufacturing and equipment maintenance. Succession of skilled workers' expertise and smart factory implementation using IoT/AI will be key going forward.
