This occupation involves assembling parts of measuring instruments such as odometers (odometers) installed in automobiles, adjusting and inspecting them to ensure quality.
Description
Odometer assemblers are skilled technicians who assemble, adjust, and inspect measuring instruments, starting with automotive odometers. They perform mechanical tasks such as screwing and press-fitting using drivers and torque wrenches, manually combining fine parts. Subsequently, they verify performance using calibration equipment, visual inspections, and functional test machines to confirm operation within tolerances. They work on production lines or in cell production systems while adhering to safety, hygiene, and 5S standards, and manage quality records. When parts or processes change, they acquire new procedures and equipment operations, cooperating as a team to maintain stable production.
Future Outlook
With advances in autonomous driving technology and electrification, in-vehicle equipment is becoming more sophisticated and precise, accelerating automation and robotization of assembly lines. Skilled technicians are expected to shift to advanced tasks such as fine assembly, line monitoring, and quality control.
