Summary
Precision manufacturing job involving glass processing, liquid filling, assembly, calibration inspection, etc., of bubble tubes (spirit levels) used in surveying instruments.
Description
Surveying instrument bubble tube manufacturing workers specialize in the manufacturing and assembly of bubble tubes used as spirit levels in surveying instruments. Main tasks include cutting and grinding glass tubes, filling and sealing liquids, adjusting bubble positions, and performing calibration inspections that account for the effects of temperature and pressure. High precision is required, so work is done in a clean environment with a focus on concentration for fine tasks. They may also collaborate with the quality control department to propose improvements for reducing defect rates.
Future Outlook
With demand for higher precision and miniaturization of surveying instruments, the need for precision bubble tube manufacturing technicians remains stable, but the market size is expected to remain flat due to the spread of digital spirit levels.
