Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technical job that precisely engraves letters or patterns on optical glass parts and performs subsequent polishing and inspection.
Description
Optical glass engraving workers are technicians who use microscope inspections and high-precision measuring instruments to engrave markings, decorations, and fine concave-convex patterns on optical components such as glass lenses and prisms. They utilize laser engraving machines, grinding tools, and masks to perform processing that meets strict specifications such as dimensional tolerances and surface roughness. After processing, they complete the product through polishing, cleaning, and inspection, and often work in cleanroom environments. They collaborate with optical designers and quality control staff, and participate in process improvements and the introduction of new technologies.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for optical components in AR/VR, optical communications, and medical devices, stable employment and technology succession are expected. Skill improvement corresponding to advancements in laser processing technology is required.
