Drawing Worker (Spinning)
ドローイングこう（ぼうせき）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
In the spinning process, operates drawing machines to align multiple slivers (raw yarns), uniformize the fibers, and manufacture slivers of quality suitable for the next roving process.
Description
Drawing workers operate drawing machines in spinning factories, synthesizing multiple slivers delivered from the carding process and evenly drawing out the fibers to adjust linear density and arrangement. They perform machine settings (roller speeds, draft ratios), sliver thickness measurements, quality inspections, machine maintenance and inspections, and manage work records. Balancing productivity and quality is required, and coordination with upstream and downstream processes, safety management, and hygiene management are also important.
Future Outlook
While the spinning industry is progressing with automation and IoT adoption, the number of domestic factories is on a declining trend. In the fields of high-performance fibers and special materials, demand for skilled technicians remains, and skills in operating and maintaining production equipment are gaining importance.
