Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A metal processing technician specialized in manufacturing scissors. Handles everything from material selection to forging, heat treatment, blading, polishing, assembly, adjustment, and inspection in an integrated manner.
Description
Scissors manufacturing workers roughly shape metal materials through forging or press processing, adjust hardness via heat treatment, then repeatedly grind and polish to finish the scissor blade shape and sharpness. They also drill holes in hinge parts, assemble, and perform precise clearance adjustments to guarantee cutting performance and durability for each product. In mass production lines, they operate presses and automatic polishing equipment, while in small workshops, they produce high-end scissors through hand grinding. Quality inspections involve measuring blade tip hardness, conducting cutting tests, and verifying dimensional tolerances in finishing.
Future Outlook
While process efficiency is advancing through automation and IoT, there remains strong demand for high-quality products made through traditional handcrafting.
