Summary
A job that covers the core wire of electric wires with rubber or plastic insulation material and manufactures wires according to specifications.
Description
Wire sheathing workers use extruders to cover conductors such as copper or aluminum wires with rubber or plastic insulation materials. After covering, they heat and cure the material in a vulcanization device and stabilize the shaping in cooling equipment. They repeatedly perform checks on thickness and uniformity, dimensional measurements, machine adjustments and maintenance, and quality inspections to produce wires that meet standards. In the production line, multiple processes are linked, requiring stable work rhythms and attention to safety and hygiene.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of electric vehicles and renewable energy fields, demand for high-performance wires is increasing. Demand for skilled workers with production efficiency and quality control technology is expected to remain stable.
