Hard Skills
IntermediateLehr Operation and MonitoringOperating and adjusting the temperature controls of annealing ovens, known as lehrs, to ensure the uniform cooling of glass products and prevent thermal shock.
IntermediateThermal Stress AnalysisUtilizing optical instruments such as polariscopes to identify and quantify internal stresses in glass products post-annealing.
AdvancedAnnealing Curve ManagementConfiguring and maintaining specific heating and cooling cycles based on glass thickness, composition, and product type.
IntermediateGlass Cutting and FinishingThe ability to use manual or automated machinery to cut glass to precise dimensions and finish edges to eliminate sharpness or defects.
IntermediateHigh-Heat Equipment MaintenancePerforming routine inspections and basic mechanical repairs on glass forming and finishing machinery operating under high-temperature conditions.
BasicSafety Protocol Adherence (High Temperature)Strict compliance with safety procedures regarding molten glass, high-voltage heating elements, and heavy conveyor systems.
