Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves operating a dedicated high-frequency sewing machine to weld plastic sheets or films, performing sewing and welding of products.
Description
Plastic high-frequency sewing machine operators primarily overlap plastic sheets such as PVC or TPU and use high-frequency welding machines (high-frequency sewing machines) to create seams and stitches. They handle material alignment and fixation, setting welding conditions (voltage, time, pressure), post-welding finish inspections and trimming, and product quality checks. To maintain stable mass production line operations, simple machine maintenance, cleaning, and safety inspections are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing are advancing, demand for specialized welding skills is expected to remain stable. Due to shifts in overseas production and progress in mechanization, efficiency technologies and multi-skilling will be key challenges moving forward.
