Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that operates cold forming press machines to shape metal wire or bar stock into springs with precise dimensions and shapes.
Description
Spring forming workers (cold forming) process metal wire or bar stock into spring shapes using press machines or specialized equipment while cold. The work processes range from material setup, coiling and cutting, preforming, press forming, deburring, dimensional inspection, heat treatment or post-quenching adjustment as needed, to final finishing and quality inspection. Dimensional tolerances are managed at the micrometer level, requiring high attention to detail and operational skills. Safety measures, such as checking protective covers, regular machine inspections, and maintaining the work environment, are also important.
Future Outlook
With stable demand for precision springs in automobiles and industrial machinery, the need for skilled workers continues. While robot automation and AI-based quality control are advancing, workers with advanced skills remain highly valued.
