Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing occupation that assembles non-optical mechanical and electronic parts, calibrates and inspects them to ensure precision as surveying instruments.
Description
The Surveying Instrument Manufacturer (Non-Optical) is an occupation that manufactures, assembles, and calibrates non-optical surveying instruments such as transits and levels. Based on mechanical drawings, selects and processes metal parts and electronic components, and assembles them accurately while strictly managing torque and dimensional tolerances. After completion, inspects precision using dial gauges and non-prism distance meters, and performs fine adjustments as necessary. Requires knowledge of quality management based on ISO standards and operation of inspection equipment such as 3D measuring machines (CMM). Involves both manual labor and machine operations in environmentally controlled workplaces, and may participate in product development and production improvements.
Future Outlook
With automation and IoT adoption in domestic manufacturing, demand for higher precision in non-optical surveying instruments will persist. Introduction of electronic and automation technologies will require acquisition of more advanced skills.
