Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist who precisely scrapes the contact surfaces of metal parts to improve smoothness and dimensional accuracy.
Description
Scraping fitters measure the contact surfaces of metal products such as molds and machine parts using measuring tools like micrometers and calipers, while using polishing tools and abrasives to subtly scrape and fit them, adjusting surface accuracy, gaps, and fits. The job requires high attention and concentration, and processing that accounts for aging changes and thermal expansion. They read drawings, understand tolerances, proceed with the work, and experienced workers play important roles in production line quality assurance and mold maintenance.
Future Outlook
While automation technologies and robot implementations advance, demand for high-precision processing continues steadily, and the value of skilled workers is expected to remain stable.
