Summary
Thread finishing workers process spun raw yarn through twisting, heat setting, oiling, and other treatments to uniform its quality and prepare it for shipment as a product.
Description
Thread finishing workers, in spinning factories and elsewhere, apply twisting (twist), heat treatment (setting), oil processing, and other processes to raw yarn to ensure product quality. Specifically, they operate and adjust twisting machines, heat setting machines, oiling equipment, etc., managing yarn tension, twist count, humidity, and more. They regularly take samples to inspect strength and uniformity, perform machine maintenance and adjust production conditions as needed. They also handle manufacturing line safety management, respond to production plans, packaging and packing tasks, and collaborate in teams to achieve efficient production.
Future Outlook
While Japan's textile manufacturing industry is shrinking due to overseas relocation, demand for thread finishing workers skilled in automation and quality control technologies for high-value-added products is expected to remain stable.
