Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles tuner units for electronic equipment through soldering parts and manual work, up to adjustment and inspection.
Description
Tuner assemblers mount electronic components on printed circuit boards for tuner units used in TVs and radios, performing soldering, screw tightening, and wiring tasks. After completion, they conduct various operation tests, signal adjustments, and appearance inspections to confirm that performance meets specifications. Work is performed in clean environments with ESD (electrostatic discharge) measures or on assembly lines, sometimes using dedicated jigs, torque drivers, and microscopes. They handle everything from mass production lines to multi-variety small-lot production, requiring accurate assembly and inspection based on manufacturing instructions and quality standards.
Future Outlook
Demand for precision assembly will be maintained due to the increasing functionality of electronic equipment and the rise in multi-variety small-lot production, while labor-saving advances through automation and robotization. The importance of skill inheritance and quality control will increase, making the training of skilled workers a challenge.
