Shipbuilding Marking Worker
ぞうせんけいしょこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Shipbuilding marking workers perform marking (scribing) on metal plates of hulls and parts based on drawings, accurately marking lines and positions that serve as standards for cutting and bending processes.
Description
Shipbuilding marking workers, in shipbuilding manufacturing sites, accurately read drawings and use marking tools to draw lines and positions serving as standards for cutting, hole drilling, and bending processes on metal plates and parts with extremely high precision. Skills in dimensional measurement using calipers and micrometers, and operation of scribers and marking gauges are required. Through manual fine adjustments and inspections, they support smooth progression of subsequent welding and assembly processes. In recent years, laser measures or automatic marking machines may be used from CAD data, but inheritance of high-precision manual skills remains important.
Future Outlook
With automation in the shipbuilding industry and the introduction of 3D laser scanning technology, the use of automatic marking machines is increasing, but high-precision manual work remains important, and challenges include skill inheritance and resolving the shortage of skilled workers.
