Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation handles finishing work to remove burrs and excess material remaining after casting, forging, or sheet metal processing of metal products, shaping them to the product form.
Description
Trimming workers (metal processing) remove burrs and excess material attached to castings, forgings, and press-processed products, and finish the product dimensions and shapes to specified values. Main tasks include die replacement for trimming presses, deburring using hand tools (chisels, hammers) or grinders, dimensional inspection using calipers and micrometers, and confirmation of safety devices. Visual inspection and dimensional management to meet quality standards, setup changes for improving work efficiency, and teamwork in the factory are required.
Future Outlook
While automation and robotization of metal products are progressing, manual work is still required for fine finishing tasks, so there is expected to be steady demand for personnel with high-precision deburring skills.
