Summary
Outer Cable Workers perform outer sheath covering on electric wires and cables. They operate extrusion molding machines to apply resins such as PVC or PE to cables and manage quality.
Description
Outer Cable Workers use extrusion molding machines to apply outer sheaths (jackets) to cables composed of copper wires or synthetic fibers. They adjust the extruder's temperature, screw rotation speed, and line speed, solidify the resin in cooling tanks afterward, and measure and inspect the covering thickness and surface condition. They perform daily machine inspections and cleaning, emergency responses in case of troubles, safety device checks, and record management. Working on factory production lines requires high precision and stable quality.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of automation and IoT in wire and cable manufacturers, there is demand for advanced production line control technicians. The demand for highly skilled workers with expertise will remain stable due to increasing needs for high-performance cables for electric vehicles and renewable energy.
