Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
In the chemical fiber manufacturing process, this occupation winds fibers output from spinning machines onto specified bobbins with appropriate tension, and maintains and manages quality.
Description
The Winder (Chemical Fiber Manufacturing) winds chemical fibers—melted and spun from raw materials—onto bobbins while maintaining specified tension and shape. The work centers on machine operation, including periodic bobbin replacement and adjustments, quality inspections, and initial responses to abnormalities. It also includes simple maintenance of machines and peripheral equipment, recording work data, cleaning the work area, and safety management. The job often involves long hours of standing work and shift work, requiring physical stamina due to handling heavy bobbins.
Future Outlook
While operational efficiency will improve with the introduction of automation and IoT technologies, demand is expected to increase for workers with advanced machine maintenance and data analysis skills.
