Summary
A manufacturing job that processes metal wire rods into specified wire diameters or cross-sectional shapes using a wire drawing machine.
Description
Wire drawing workers process metal wire rods such as copper, aluminum, and iron by drawing them through dies using a wire drawing machine to achieve specified wire diameters or cross-sectional shapes. As pre-processing, they select materials and apply lubricants. During processing, they manage dimensions while adjusting the machine's rotation speed and tension. To maintain product quality, they measure cross-sectional dimensions with calipers or micrometers and perform adjustments or inspections if abnormalities are found. They also handle safety management of production lines and machine maintenance, requiring stable productivity and high dimensional accuracy.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of automation and labor reduction, the demand for wire drawing workers with advanced machine operation and quality management skills is expected to increase.
