Summary
Manufacturing technician who assembles optical rangefinders, performs optical path adjustment, and calibration.
Description
The Rangefinder Instrument Assembler (Optical Type) is a specialist who manufactures distance measuring devices using optical elements such as lenses and prisms. Using microscopes and dedicated jigs, parts are precisely positioned and the optical axis is adjusted to ensure measurement accuracy. After assembly, performance inspections are conducted using interferometers and test equipment, and fine adjustments are implemented as necessary. High attention to detail and manual dexterity are required, and work is often performed in clean rooms.
Future Outlook
Due to the increasing demand for miniature optical devices for industrial drones and autonomous driving sensors, stable demand is anticipated for manufacturing technicians of optical rangefinders. On the other hand, as automation and robot adoption progresses, the value of highly specialized skilled workers will further increase.
