Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Spinning machine operators process raw cotton or synthetic fibers through spinning machines to manufacture yarn and maintain and manage quality.
Description
Spinning machine operators process raw cotton or synthetic fibers through carding and spinning processes to form and twist yarn using machines. They follow work procedure manuals to set up raw materials and adjust machine rotation speeds and tensions. They measure yarn thickness and twist counts during production and perform quality inspections. When machine troubles occur, they perform simple repairs or part replacements, conduct regular inspections and maintenance, and proceed with work following safety and hygiene rules. To improve production efficiency and yield, they also engage in process management based on recorded data.
Future Outlook
While Japan's spinning industry is in a declining trend due to the overseas relocation of production bases, the demand for skilled workers is expected to continue due to needs for high-value-added yarns and the introduction of IoT and automation technologies.
