Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job that assembles X-ray tubes (vacuum tubes that generate X-rays) from glass tubes and electrode parts, and conducts performance tests and adjustments.
Description
X-ray tube assemblers accurately assemble parts such as electrodes and filaments into glass tubes, seal them in a high vacuum state, and perform performance inspections and adjustments such as discharge tests and X-ray output measurements. The work uses hand tools and dedicated jigs, requiring handling of minute parts and precise management of dimensions and vacuum levels. Manufacturing lines are often in clean environments, and they are also responsible for creating inspection records based on quality control standards.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the needs of medical equipment and non-destructive testing devices, but a shift to high-value-added processes is required due to advances in automation and robotization.
