Summary
A technician who manufactures electric wires by applying insulation covering such as plastic or resin to conductors like copper wires.
Description
Wire insulation workers cover twisted copper or aluminum wires with insulating materials such as vinyl, enamel, and resin, while operating and monitoring the production line to ensure electrical properties and dimensional accuracy. They adjust covering machine settings, manage tension, control temperature, and verify quality through visual inspections and electrical tests. They also handle simple maintenance of manufacturing equipment, defect analysis, record keeping, and compliance with safety and health standards to support efficient production.
Future Outlook
While demand for electric wires is stable and steady employment is expected, production equipment is becoming more automated and IoT-enabled, so advanced machine operation and maintenance skills, as well as data analysis abilities, will be required.
