Summary
Plating line operators operate and manage production equipment that applies plating to the surface of metal products, ensuring product quality.
Description
Plating line operators handle a series of processes from pre-treatment such as degreasing and pickling, to electroplating and chemical plating, and post-treatment. They manage plating solution concentration, temperature, and pH, adjust current density, and perform quality checks such as plating thickness measurement and appearance inspection to prevent defects. Troubleshooting during line stops, daily equipment inspections, and safety and health management such as waste liquid treatment are also important tasks.
