Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation uses extrusion machines to coat electric wires with insulating materials such as resins or rubber, manufacturing wires that meet specifications. It involves monitoring production lines, quality inspections, and machine maintenance checks.
Description
Extrusion coating wire manufacturing workers operate extrusion machines to coat base wires such as copper wires with resins like PVC or PE, producing electric wires. They handle the entire process from feeding raw materials, adjusting temperature and pressure, cooling after forming, to winding up. They inspect coating thickness and appearance through sample checks. To maintain production efficiency and quality, they perform regular machine inspections and simple maintenance. In the event of defects, they adjust parameters or propose process improvements. The work environment involves machine noise and heat from heating resins, requiring safety device management and wearing protective gear.
Future Outlook
With the spread of electric vehicles and renewable energy, demand for high-performance electric wires is expanding. Smart factories are advancing through automation and IoT, requiring not only machine operation skills but also data analysis and maintenance technology.
