Summary
Technician who assembles, adjusts, and inspects optical machinery and instruments such as cameras and photographic equipment.
Description
Camera assemblers precisely combine optical lenses and mechanical parts to function as photographic equipment. After assembly, they perform optical axis adjustment, torque management, and image quality evaluation using image inspection devices. They work in clean rooms requiring high cleanliness, carefully checking for minute dust or misalignment. Work is performed on manufacturing lines or individual assembly lines, collaborating with quality control and design departments to improve mass production processes.
Future Outlook
Although demand for conventional cameras is declining due to the spread of digital cameras and smartphones, demand for advanced optical equipment in industrial and medical fields remains stable. Integration with automation and AI-based production technologies is advancing, and the value of technicians with specialized skills is expected to be maintained.
