Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that operates thread rolling machines to plastically process metal wire between dies, forming screw threads and mass-producing screws.
Description
The screw manufacturing worker (by thread rolling) forms screw threads using the thread rolling method, which sandwiches metal wire between dies to cause plastic deformation. Cuts the raw material wire to length, sets it in the thread rolling machine, and adjusts rotation speed, pressure, and lubrication conditions. Inspects the dimensions of formed screws using micrometers and gauges, discriminates and reports defective products. Also handles periodic machine maintenance, die replacement, material replenishment, setup changes, and creation of work records, balancing production efficiency and quality maintenance.
Future Outlook
Even amid advances in automation and labor-saving, manufacturing high-precision screws requires specialized thread rolling technology and equipment maintenance capabilities. With the introduction of IoT and smart factory technologies, further sophistication in quality control and efficiency improvements is expected.
