Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that builds the tire skeleton case (carcass) by laminating rubber sheets and reinforcing materials, preparing for the next vulcanization process.
Description
Tire case bonders form the tire skeleton (carcass) by laminating rubber sheets called plies, bead wires, steel cords, and other reinforcing materials using dedicated machines (builder machines). After lamination, they shape the material to maintain uniform thickness and dimensions using a rotating machine, preparing for the next process of vulcanization (vulcanization). Managing temperature and tension, safe machine operation, and quality inspection directly contribute to quality improvement and safety, requiring high attention to detail and physical stamina.
Future Outlook
Although the tire market is influenced by automotive industry trends, demand remains stable. While automation technologies are advancing, the succession of skills from skilled workers remains a challenge.
