Summary
A manufacturing job that mechanically and electrically assembles parts and components of packaging machines based on design drawings, and performs adjustments and test runs.
Description
Packaging machine assemblers assemble parts that constitute packaging machines such as filling machines, sealers, labelers, and conveyors, install wiring and control panels, and accurately adjust and test run them based on design drawings. They use hand tools or air tools for screwing and fitting parts, and may perform light welding or cutting as needed. After assembly, they perform operation checks, and if there are any defects, they adjust or repair them, ultimately finishing the product to a state that meets quality standards for shipment. In addition to factory work, they may also handle installation and test runs at customer factories.
Future Outlook
With the automation and high-speed operation of packaging machines, the demand for assembly technicians is expected to remain stable. The spread of robots and IoT-compatible devices will increase the value of skilled workers with knowledge in electrical and control systems.
