Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Weight adjustment workers are skilled technicians who perform fine adjustments to internal weights and balance mechanisms in the assembly process of weighing and measuring instruments and optical machinery to ensure product weight balance and measurement accuracy.
Description
Weight adjustment workers work on assembly lines for weighing and measuring instruments such as scales and balances, and optical machinery such as microscopes and camera lenses. Based on drawings and specifications, they select internal weights or balance weights for the product and measure the weight using specialized fine measurement tools (micrometers, precision balances, etc.). As needed, they shave, add, or adjust the position to optimize the center balance of the equipment. After adjustment, they conduct performance tests to confirm accuracy according to specifications. They collaborate with the quality control department to maintain traceability and support stable production.
Future Outlook
Even with the advancement of IoT and automation technologies, high-precision manual adjustment skills remain important, and the demand for skilled workers is expected to be maintained to a certain extent.
