Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Wire drawing workers use wire drawing machines to process wire to specified thickness and strength, and perform quality control in manufacturing operations.
Description
Wire drawing workers pass metal wire through a wire drawing machine and use dies to draw the wire, thereby reducing its diameter and adjusting its strength. After processing, they apply cleaning, pickling, annealing, and other heat treatments, followed by surface treatment, coiling, and inspection of dimensions and surface quality to complete the product. Machine setup, regular maintenance, and safety assurance are also important tasks. They work on production lines according to production plans, managing dimensional tolerances and surface conditions to provide high-quality wire.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor-saving advances will make machine operations more sophisticated, the demand for skilled technicians capable of fine processing and maintaining quality is expected to continue.
