Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing staff who assemble each part of the telescope, perform adjustments and inspections to ensure product performance.
Description
Telescope assemblers assemble optical instrument parts such as objective lenses, eyepiece lenses, finders, barrels, and mounts according to drawings and work manuals, and adjust them while managing alignment and torque using precision measuring instruments. After assembly, they conduct performance tests using collimators or star charts, verify the optical axis, and inspect the focal length to confirm compliance with specified quality standards. They also manage adhesives and lubricants during operations, maintain the cleanroom environment, and create process records.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for high-precision optical instruments for astronomical observation and industrial use, the demand for telescope assembly technicians is expected to remain stable or increase gradually. In particular, demand for assembly of high-performance equipment for space development and research purposes is anticipated to continue.
