Summary
Manufacturing job involving assembly of various platform scales (load cells and balances) from parts assembly to operation adjustment and inspection.
Description
Platform scale assemblers assemble structural parts of platform scales (scales equipped with load sensors and displays), tighten them using tools, and perform torque adjustments. After assembly, they perform calibration using standard weights for calibration and inspect accuracy. They read mechanical drawings, measure dimensions with micrometers or calipers, and make fine adjustments to parts as needed. To maintain product quality, they collaborate with quality control and design departments, and may be involved in improving assembly procedures or analyzing defects. The work is primarily standing in a clean environment, requiring meticulous attention to detail when handling precision parts.
