Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Weaving machine adjusters optimize loom performance, ensuring quality and productivity through machine adjustment, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Description
Weaving machine adjusters handle everything from setting up weaving machines (such as shuttleless looms) to adjusting them during operation, responding to breakdowns, and performing preventive maintenance. To prevent weave distortions and fabric defects, they adjust yarn tension, change speeds, replace parts, and conduct quality inspections. They maintain production efficiency while complying with safety and hygiene standards, managing regular inspection records. They collaborate with on-site production technicians and maintenance engineers and may propose improvements to the production line.
Future Outlook
With automation and IoT in the textile industry, demand for advanced machine adjustment skills will remain, but the number of workers is declining due to shifts in overseas production. Skill succession and DX対応 will be key.
