Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized profession that assembles, adjusts, and inspects transits (surveying theodolites), a type of surveying instrument.
Description
Transit assemblers handle the assembly, adjustment, and inspection of surveying theodolites. Based on drawings and assembly manuals, they accurately attach mechanical parts and optical components, adjust the optical axis, and calibrate the angle measurement mechanisms. Since misalignment of minute parts or optical lenses impacts performance, they perform precise adjustments using tools such as precision drivers, torque wrenches, micrometers, and dial gauges. Upon completion, they conduct functional tests and accuracy inspections to verify quality, preventing defective products and assembly errors. They also maintain a clean work environment and collaborate with quality control departments and production lines to improve manufacturing efficiency.
Future Outlook
While the introduction of smart assembly lines utilizing IoT and automation technologies is advancing, the demand for manual fine adjustments in high-precision optical instruments is expected to remain.
