Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves manufacturing nails, wire products, fence parts, etc., through processes such as cold drawing, bending, forming, and surface treatment of metal wires.
Description
Metal wire product manufacturers use raw metal wires (such as copper and iron wires) and operate machines like cold drawing machines, straightening devices, bending machines, and presses to form them into products. After cutting, bending, and forming, they apply surface treatments such as heat treatment, plating, and polishing, and perform dimensional inspections and quality control using calipers and micrometers. They also handle production line setup, machine adjustments and maintenance, improvement proposals to enhance work efficiency and reduce defect rates, and packaging and shipping preparation for finished products.
Future Outlook
Amid advancing automation and labor reduction in manufacturing sites, demand for highly skilled equipment operators capable of handling the introduction and maintenance of robots and automated machinery is expected to remain steady or increase.
