Manufacturing technician responsible for cutting metal coil material to specified widths using a slitter machine and handling processes up to rewinding.
Description
The slitter operator (metal material cutting) handles the process of cutting metal coil material from large-diameter coils to specified widths. Sets raw coils on the uncoiler and adjusts blades (slitter blades) to match the material width. Uses tension control and centering functions to stably feed the material and performs slitting simultaneously with multiple blades. After cutting, rewinds into coil form and inspects width, thickness, and burrs. Also conducts machine maintenance inspections, blade replacements, quality control, line startups and improvements, while complying with safety and health standards to support accurate and efficient production.
Future Outlook
Even as automation and labor reduction advance across the manufacturing industry, demand for precise metal material processing is expected to remain steady. Advances in IoT and automation technologies will make line efficiency improvements and skill succession key.
