Summary
Manufacturing technician specializing in processing wire ropes from material selection through cutting, stranding, crimping, and end treatment.
Description
Rope Processing Worker (Wire Rope) is a specialist who bundles steel wires or alloy wires and processes them into rope form. Based on drawings and specifications, selects the appropriate wire rope, then performs processes such as cutting, stranding, end fixing with crimping sleeves, and splicing.
