Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized manufacturing technician who assembles optical device parts with high precision to ensure optical performance.
Description
Optical machinery assemblers assemble optical components such as lenses, prisms, and mirrors according to drawings, perform fine adjustments and alignments to manufacture optical devices. They work in clean rooms, performing part cleaning, bonding, and post-assembly inspections to maintain optical performance. They use optical measuring instruments such as laser alignment devices and interferometers to check for optical axis misalignment and surface irregularities, pursuing high-precision finishes. They collaborate with manufacturing processes and quality control departments to improve yield rates and reduce defects.
Future Outlook
With the increasing sophistication of optical products such as smartphones, advanced driver assistance systems in automobiles, and AR/VR devices, demand for fine assembly technicians will remain stable. While automation advances, manual fine adjustments and quality assurance remain essential, and the value of specialized technicians is expected to be maintained.
