Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures wires by extruding vinyl resin onto wires (conductors) to provide insulation covering.
Description
Wire vinyl insulation workers set conductors such as copper or aluminum wires into machines (extrusion molding machines), extrude heated vinyl resin to form an insulation layer, and handle the process. They adjust temperature, speed, and winding tension, measure dimensions with calipers or micrometers, and perform appearance inspections. If defects occur, they analyze causes, replace dies, or adjust machine settings. The work involves standing, and stable operation of the entire line and quality maintenance are required.
Future Outlook
Although there is stable demand for wires, the demand for skilled operators may decrease due to factory automation and labor reduction. Introduction of IoT and automation technologies is expected to advance.
