Summary
Manufacturing operator who applies silver paste to form internal electrode layers of ceramic capacitors, and performs drying, firing, and inspection.
Description
Coating Worker (Silver: Porcelain (Ceramic) Capacitor Manufacturing) uses screen printing machines or dispensers to accurately apply silver paste layers to substrates to form internal electrodes of ceramic capacitors. After coating, preliminary drying in a drying furnace, multiple overlapping coatings until the specified thickness is reached, then high-temperature firing in a firing furnace. After finishing, conducts visual inspections, thickness measurements using a measuring machine, quality inspections, defect determination, data recording, equipment parameter adjustments, and troubleshooting during line stops.
Future Outlook
Ceramic capacitors are essential for the miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices, and demand is stable to increasing with the progress of IoT and electrification. While automation advances, demand for skilled operators is expected to continue from the perspectives of fine processing technology and quality assurance.
