What do you do in this profession?
Metal technology specialists specializing in assembly technology use joining techniques to manufacture components, assemblies and machines from individual parts. They first deal with the production and assembly order and associated documents such as assembly plans and guidelines and plan the work steps. They then manufacture components manually or mechanically, for example by processing sheet metal using various methods. They assemble the components into subassemblies, for example by screwing, pinning or riveting, forging or soldering them together.
They also assemble cables and electrical and electronic elements. In doing so, they observe circuit and function diagrams. They assemble devices, machines or machine parts from components and component groups. To do this, they assemble the components in the correct position and function, observing the sequence of parts. They align the assembly parts, fasten and secure them. Finally, they set the functions and check whether the products work as intended.
