Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Operator position on the manufacturing line that winds metal wire onto spools at a constant tension.
Description
Wire spooling operators work on manufacturing lines using automatic winding machines (spoolers) to wind metal wire onto spools. Operators set spools on the machines, adjust wire tension and winding speed to maintain uniform winding, inspect for defects such as uneven winding or breaks using visual checks and measuring instruments, and manage quality. They also support safe and stable production through regular machine inspections, simple maintenance, and part replacements. The work mainly involves standing on mass production lines, requiring precise manual work and machine operation skills.
Future Outlook
Amid advancing automation and IoT adoption in manufacturing, while labor-saving progresses, demand for workers with advanced quality management and line monitoring skills is expected to remain to some extent.
