Hard Skills
IntermediateGlass Drawing Machinery OperationThe technical ability to set up, operate, and monitor machines that draw molten glass into specific shapes such as sheets, tubes, or rods using processes like Danner or Vello.
AdvancedProcess Temperature ManagementMonitoring and adjusting furnace and drawing chamber temperatures to maintain the correct viscosity and cooling rate of molten glass.
IntermediateGlass Quality InspectionThe use of precision measuring tools and visual techniques to identify defects such as seeds, stones, streaks, or thickness variations in finished glass.
AdvancedTechnical TroubleshootingIdentifying the root cause of mechanical failures or process deviations in drawing equipment and performing minor adjustments or repairs.
IntermediateHigh-Temperature Safety ComplianceAdherence to specialized safety protocols and the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working near molten glass and industrial furnaces.
IntermediatePrecision Measurement and CalibrationUsing micrometers, calipers, and automated sensors to ensure the dimensions of drawn glass meet rigorous engineering specifications.
