Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation that assembles optical and mechanical parts of optical pointer micrometers (such as micrometers) and performs precision inspections and calibrations.
Description
Optical pointer micrometer assembly workers assemble optical measuring instruments such as micrometers and comparison microscopes, selecting and fixing parts, adjusting the optical axis of lenses and prisms, and assembling mechanical parts by screwing. After completion, they inspect dimensional accuracy and optical performance, performing calibration and fine adjustments as necessary to meet tolerances such as JIS standards. Work is conducted in clean rooms or dedicated workbenches, centered on precision tasks based on drawings and work instruction manuals.
Future Outlook
Demand for higher performance and miniaturization of precision instruments continues, with expectations in fields such as medical and semiconductors. While automation and robotization advance, the need for advanced manual work remains strong, and the market value of skilled technicians is high.
