Summary
Technical role responsible for design, assembly, testing, and quality control of lumber milling machinery.
Description
Sawmill machinery manufacturing engineers handle roles from design and development to assembly, testing, adjustment, and quality control of lumber milling machinery. Considering wood properties and processing conditions, they perform mechanical element design using CAD/CAM, part selection, and prototype evaluation. They also formulate manufacturing processes for mass production, establish assembly procedures in factories, conduct operational tests, and verify performance and durability. When abnormalities or troubles occur, they perform root cause analysis and implement countermeasures to improve machine reliability. They are also required to adopt the latest technologies, such as support for woody biomass and environmentally responsive materials.
Future Outlook
With expanding wood demand and environmentally friendly products, demand for energy-saving and high-efficiency lumber milling machinery is increasing. Integration with automation and IoT technologies requires highly specialized engineers.
