Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles tumbler switches such as small toggle switches by hand or with tools, and performs inspection and adjustment.
Description
Tumbler switch assemblers pick precision parts such as switch housings, contacts, and springs, and assemble them using manual labor, jigs, and soldering tools. After assembly, they conduct tests using inspection devices for torque and operation checks, and inspect the appearance and functional quality. In mass production, efficient line work and adherence to standard operating procedures are required, and in the event of abnormalities, they identify causes and make improvement proposals.
Future Outlook
Even as manufacturing processes advance toward automation and robotization, manual assembly of precision parts will continue to have steady demand from the perspective of quality assurance. Acquiring knowledge of smart factories and process management using IoT will increase market value.
