Summary
A job that measures and inspects the thickness (count) and quantity of yarn and determines whether it conforms to product standards.
Description
Yarn measurers measure the thickness and weight per unit length (yarn count) of yarn produced in the spinning stage and verify if the product conforms to specified standards. After processing the sampled material in a dryer, they measure the weight using an electronic balance or measuring instrument and calculate the yarn count. Measurement data is reported to the quality control department, and if there are non-conforming products, they collaborate with the production department to analyze causes and propose improvements. They also maintain and manage test methods based on JIS standards or internal criteria and create inspection records.
Future Outlook
While the importance of quality control in the textile industry is increasing, the introduction of automated inspection technology is advancing, requiring the acquisition of skills in machine operation and data analysis.
