Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that inspects the quality of metal products that have undergone rivet hitting processing, confirming whether dimensions, appearance, and strength meet the standards.
Description
Rivet inspectors perform dimensional measurements, visual inspections, and non-destructive testing on products after riveting in the metal product assembly process to check for defects such as cracks or dimensional errors. They use inspection equipment such as calipers, micrometers, microscopes, and ultrasonic flaw detectors, and record and report the inspection results. Products that do not meet quality standards are managed as defective items, and they may also collaborate with the manufacturing department to conduct root cause analysis and propose improvements.
Future Outlook
While manufacturing automation and AI-based inspection technologies are advancing, manual inspections for detecting minute defects and ensuring quality assurance will continue to be necessary.
