Relationships with occupations
Essential knowledge
Staple spinning machine technology is an essential knowledge of the following occupations:
Spinning textile technician: Spinning textile technicians perform operations related to setting up spinning processes.
Twisting machine operator: Twisting machine operators tend machines that spin two or more fibres together into a yarn. They handle raw materials, prepare them for processing, and use twisting machines for the purpose. They also perform routine maintenance of the machinery.
Textile machinery technician: Textile machinery technicians set up, maintain, inspect and repair mechanical and computer-controlled machinery used in textile manufacturing such as weaving, dyeing and finishing machines.
Â
Yarn spinner: Yarn spinners convert fibres into yarns.
Textile process controller: Textile process controllers perform textile process operations, technical functions in various aspects of design, production and quality control of textile products, and cost control for processes. They use computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) tools in order to ensure conformity of entire production process to specifications. They compare and exchange individual processes with other departments (e.g cost calculation office) and initiate appropriate actions. They analyse the structure and properties of raw materials used in textiles and assist to prepare specifications for their production, analyse and interpret test data.
Textile technologist: Textile technologists develop and supervise production systems for textiles.
Optional knowledge
Staple spinning machine technology is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this knowledge may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
Textile quality technician: Textile quality technicians perform physical laboratory tests on textile materials and products. They compare textile materials and products to standards and interpret results.
Spinning machine operator: Spinning machine operators produce yarns, twists, and other fibres by tending spinning, twisting, winding, and reeling machines. They handle raw materials, prepare them for spinning processes, and use machinery for the purpose. They also perform routine maintenance of the machinery.
Nonwoven staple machine operator: Nonwoven staple machine operators perform physical nonwoven processing operations.
Textile quality inspector: Textile quality inspectors ensure that the manufactured of textile products is compliant with predetermined specifications.
