Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Spinning workers process raw materials such as cotton, wool, and chemical fibers into yarn using spinning machines, and manage yarn quality as well as machine operation and maintenance.
Description
Spinning workers process diverse raw materials such as cotton, wool, and chemical fibers through processes like carding and combing, then manufacture yarn using ring spinning machines or open-end spinning machines. They adjust the twist and thickness of the produced yarn, conduct quality inspections, remove defective yarn, and perform daily machine inspections and maintenance to support stable production. Production lines operate continuously as a basic principle, requiring attention to troubleshooting during work and safety management. In recent years, smart spinning incorporating automation and IoT technology has advanced, placing importance on equipment data analysis and maintenance skills.
Future Outlook
Domestic spinning factories are on a declining trend, but new demand is emerging due to shifts toward high-function fibers and smart spinning technology.
