Spinning Worker (Glass Fiber Manufacturing)
ぼうしこう（ガラスせんいせいぞう）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that operates and monitors equipment to melt glass raw materials and continuously form thin glass fibers, managing quality and productivity.
Description
Spinning workers (glass fiber manufacturing) are responsible for melting glass raw materials at high temperatures and continuously drawing out extremely fine glass fibers using a spinning device. They adjust the spinner's temperature, pressure, and yarn drawing speed, and manage fiber thickness, strength, and the adhesion of sizing agents. They optimize tension control and winding speed for the winding machine to maintain production efficiency and product quality. In case of abnormalities, they perform device adjustments, cleaning, and simple maintenance work, while paying attention to safety, hygiene, and quality control.
Future Outlook
With advances in efficiency and automation, skills in process control and data analysis will be required, but operators with precise quality management expertise are expected to remain necessary. Skills adaptable to smart factories will enhance future prospects.
