Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Theodolite assemblers are manufacturing technicians who assemble parts of theodolites, which are optical instruments for surveying, and perform adjustments and calibrations.
Description
Theodolite assemblers precisely incorporate optical components such as lenses and prisms, and mechanical parts such as rotation mechanisms, perform alignment of each part and torque management to manufacture theodolites. After assembly, they use dedicated measuring instruments to perform precision calibration, minimizing errors in inclination measurement and angle reading. Since measuring instruments comply with JIS and ISO standards, the ability to accurately interpret drawings and technical specifications is required. Work is often done in production lines or clean rooms, requiring high concentration and attention.
Future Outlook
Due to the digitalization of surveying instruments and the spread of 3D scanners, demand for traditional optical theodolites will be limited, but assembly skills for precision optical and measuring instruments in general will continue to be required. Acquiring skills as a multi-skilled worker compatible with IoT and smart measurement technologies will increase future value.
