Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that operates numerically controlled laser processing machines to perform cutting and hole drilling on metal materials, responsible for quality control to machine maintenance.
Description
NC laser processing machine operators cut and drill holes in materials such as metal sheets and pipes using numerically controlled laser processing machines. They create and edit processing programs using CAD/CAM software and set processing conditions such as output and speed. They start up the machine, perform test cuts, inspect dimensions after processing, and confirm quality through finishing processes. Considering thermal deformation and warping of materials, they balance production efficiency and product accuracy. They also handle equipment maintenance and safety management, responding to a wide range from mass production to prototype processing in a team.
Future Outlook
Demand remains stable due to advances in automation and labor reduction in manufacturing. The market value of highly skilled operators increases with the sophistication of laser technology.
