Stranding Worker (Wire Rope Manufacturing)
ねんせんこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves twisting multiple metal wires together, processing them into strands, and manufacturing wire ropes. It entails machine operation and quality checks to produce rope products for construction and industrial machinery.
Description
Stranding workers are craftsmen and operators responsible for manufacturing the foundational strands of wire ropes. They load raw metal wires (such as steel wire, copper wire, stainless steel wire, etc.) into the stranding machine, adjust the appropriate speed and tension, and uniformly twist multiple wires together. During production, they conduct visual and mechanical inspections for surface scratches, uneven twists, and wire breaks to maintain quality standards. Based on production plans, they start up, adjust, and shut down the machines, and also perform regular maintenance inspections, cleaning, and initial troubleshooting. The completed strands are further twisted in subsequent processes to form the final wire rope products.
Future Outlook
While smart factories advance with automation and IoT implementation, stable demand is anticipated due to construction and infrastructure needs. Challenges include skill succession and advancement.
