- Minor : Mechanical Manufacturing Engineers
Summary
Technical role involving the design, manufacturing, assembly, and adjustment of measuring instruments such as scales and load cells. Ensures accuracy and quality in the manufacturing process, and handles calibration and inspection.
Description
Weighing instrument manufacturing engineers handle the manufacturing process of measuring instruments such as scales and load cells that measure weight and force. They perform a wide range of tasks including parts cutting and grinding, mechanical assembly, welding or soldering, and mounting electronic components. After manufacturing, they conduct calibration and verification under measurement environments and thoroughly manage quality using calipers and micrometers. They confirm accuracy based on standards, reduce defect rates, and provide highly reliable products.
Future Outlook
With advancements in IoT sensor integration and smart factories, demand will increase for manufacturing higher-precision, automated measuring instruments. On the other hand, the spread of CNC automation may reduce demand for traditional manual labor, and the value of engineers with advanced calibration skills and data utilization abilities is expected to rise.
