Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician who uses stainless steel plates as material to perform processing such as cutting, bending, welding, polishing, and surface treatment to shape products and parts.
Description
Stainless steel plate workers use stainless steel plates to perform various processing such as cutting, punching, bending, welding, polishing, and surface treatment to manufacture machine parts, architectural hardware, equipment parts, etc. They operate presses, benders, laser cutters, grinders, welding machines, etc., according to drawings or processing instructions, ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Depending on skill level, they also handle machine setup adjustments, root cause analysis of defects, and process improvements. Manufacturing sites are often configured in line or cell systems, collaborating with other workers to achieve stable production. Handling methods and safety procedures are defined for each process, and safety awareness is essential, including handling hazardous materials, safety management in high-temperature work environments, and wearing gloves and protective gear. Even as manufacturing sites advance in automation and robotization, the demand for skilled workers with stainless steel-specific processing know-how, fine adjustment skills, and quality control abilities remains high.
Future Outlook
As manufacturing sites advance in automation and robotization, routine tasks will be replaced by machines, but the demand for skilled workers with fine adjustment and quality control skills is expected to remain stable. Skill shifts due to technology inheritance and equipment introduction will be required.
