Summary
Workers who strip the insulation from wires manually or using machine operations in the wire manufacturing process to prepare them for easy assembly and inspection in subsequent processes.
Description
Wire stripping workers strip the insulation from electric wires on the manufacturing line, accurately finishing the conductor exposure and cross-section length. They use manual tools or automatic stripping machines to uniformly remove insulation from steel or copper wires and confirm quality through inspection. The stripped wires are supplied to processes such as wire harness assembly, terminal crimping, and soldering. To maintain production efficiency and quality, they also operate measuring instruments and inspection equipment and perform simple maintenance. Physical stamina and concentration are required to endure standing work and repetitive motions in the line work environment.
Future Outlook
While demand for electric wires is stable, advances in automation and robotization may lead to labor reduction. Acquiring skills and deepening understanding of surrounding processes will enhance future prospects.
