Those Japanese still amazes us with their craftsmanship from past centuries until today... Thank you guys for this wonderful trip BOOM 💥

[@ShabaruP]

I work in japan right now as a machine cnc operator. We made a rod steering for range rover. We also use mitutoyo measuring for the accuracy.

[@huyhandsome9x]

wow, mitutoyo still uses cnc drills from the 1990s, it's amazing

[@tdg911]

Truly amazing tech. What’s really amazing are the minds behind the automation starting with the software down to the hardware all divinely inspired in my opinion. Awesome tour guys. Much love and gratitude.

[@travisjarrett2355]

Thank you brother! It really was an amazing process to see. You could tell there were countless hours involved in making sure efficiency and quality were maximized.

[@tdg911]

@@travisjarrett2355 it reminds me when I used to watch the olympics. Made me feel lazy!!! People are really cool. We all have a gift hiding somewhere deep inside of us to share with the world. From the looks of it you all found your gifts sharing them with the world. 💥

[@ipadize]

Not sure if its appropriate to say BOOM in this Video^^

[@Aeronaughtica]

My boy Travis got a clean cut and started rocking the ‘stash for this trip 🤘

[@travisjarrett2355]

👊🤘

[@ytfan3815]

Great to see Mitutoyo uses these top-end machines like Nakamura-Tome and Matsuura, also still running old stuff with Fanuc 0M controls 😉😊 Also Renishaw probes on their CMM's 😉 👍

[@georgehunter4023]

You will never see a mainland Asian machine in Japan. A Doosan or anything else from South Korea or Taiwan or China or whatever, NOT A CHANCE!

[@machiningmomentum6495]

Looks like an amazing trip! Well done fellas. So awesome to see Mitutoyo producing their amazing products. Awesome video!

[@cast_iron_fist]

It's nice to see how your daily measuring equipment is been manufactured.

[@jeromevaillant9911]

amazing factory !!! thanks to share your visit to Mitutoyo in Japan

[@nathanstarr8359]

You all did a stellar job documenting what you did and a phenomenal job editing and narrating the video. Watching the precision tolerances and high tech machines was mesmerizing. You are all class acts in my book.😊

[@travisjarrett2355]

Thank you very much Nathan! We definitely were not at a loss for footage. The plants had so much to see! Thanks for watching.

[@arseniikatkov]

Thank you so much

[@shanerr857]

that floor is spotless

[@DriveSMR]

5S all the way with the floor markings and everything. Love it!

[@julioe.9743]

Thanks for making this video. It was amazing

[@User-th6yy]

I've worked at shops where the cantina wasn't as clean as their production line. Outstanding discipline and dedication.

[@CCPLord]

Amazing footage, amazing factory, amazing viewing experience. Its so authentic, yet it shows what ultra high quality continuous manufacturing is like. Lets do more of this, BOOM!

[@SweetTooth8989]

What a beautiful facility. They definitely have amazing quality control.

[@akfarmboy49]

Wow really good tour Thank you for the good video

[@Yourmommaluvsme]

I'm liking this Travis & Tyson duo. Good job fellas! Chika Chika 💥 Boom

[@etow8034]

One of the few products still made in Japan !

[@kangethewakamau5771]

Incredible 💎

[@keithluke1341]

Great job guys, as I brought my first Mitutoyo Micrometer in 1989 as a second-year apprentice and still have it with many more now to my collection it is great to see inside the precision engineering manufacturing of what is Mitutoyo.

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Care and precision are built into the Japanese mind.

[@MrStanwyck]

What an awesome and educational video. I’m all team Mitutoyo when it comes to my measuring tools. I didn’t realize that they were manufactured in Hiroshima.

[@TAH1712]

A lot of automation, not so many employees...still, that's what's required to make the price competitive and the parts extremely consistent. When you're making millions it pays to invest in a little tooling. good to see how they do it - Mitutoyo's work and standards ethos has served them well. Thank you Titans!

[@sakthithangaraj]

Titans of CNC guys done a excellent job in the machine shop as well as in the outside too..

[@jensgustafsson5255]

Not many countries can compare to Japan, maybe Germany. But things changing

[@piratiniwood547]

Very educational trip you guys experienced and thank you for sharing. I had the pleasure to inspect twice a machine in Japan, an Nakamura NTY3 250 and a Matsuura MAM-72, before delivery. Everything they do, is driven by utmost perfection (professionally and personally) is very interesting. It is in their history, Bushido, the way of the Samurai.

[@El_Indio_Juan_Diego_]

Look at those beautiful Star CNC

[@derkarhu5079]

thanks! this video demonstrates a lot about what you get, often invisibly, when you buy a Mitutoyo measurement device...not just the surface appearance, that can be achieved by some "other guys", but the internals, right down to the heat treatments, the continuous, and continual, process monitoring, and the level of 'in-house' material and component sourcing.

[@evolution5773]

I have been a Mits guy since I got out of trade school. Good to see the process. Great tools.

[@ericsandberg3167]

That was a real treat to see first hand where all the measuring equipment in my tool box came to life.....

[@derkarhu5079]

it's a real blast to work in developing these processes...there are so many details to be dealt with in making a device, such that everything fits into the logistics chain, purchasing materials, usually from multiple sources, testing device parts, and monitoring the equipment operation, with 'feedback' at multiple 'layers', and every location, right out to customer and application engineers, so that errors are caught, and fixed, at the closest point, buy providing feedback to the people who design the devices, the quality people, purchasing/sourcing, production engineering... i worked in global r&d at a company that produced 500 million complex devices per year...

[@VenturiLife]

Their dedication to precision is outstanding. You know they're great when they make their own machines, to quality check their products.

[@dixiefix6055]

Say what you want about the Japanese but you have to love there commitment to perfection

[@Guitarristamalo]

Im from Chile, but one day i Will be working to Titans of CNC

[@4DModding]

Pretty incredible - Japanese machines machining Javanese inspection equipment parts on japanese machining equipment, assembling them with Japanese robots + Automation and inspecting them with Japanese inspection equipment IN JAPAN - BOOM!

[@EZ_shop]

Great video. Loved seeing the inner workings of the Mitutoyo company. Looks like you all a great time there. Ciao, Marco.

[@travisjarrett2355]

Thanks Marco! We had a great time for sure.

[@inmycam]

Nice video now I know the place behind this high tech instruments I used everyday... I'm a CNC machine MPE operator. 👍

[@yoloxxjd1]

As a quality engineer, this video was amazing to see. I always use mitutoyo calipers and mics whenever I get the chance

[@computer_in_a_cave2730]

Really super special - humbling for sure - precision ground threads ? [Oddly expected to see more griding and lapping going on ; hell of a contrast to the US Starrett plant.]. What a joy.

[@arseniikatkov]

You Guys amazing

[@renegademachineect.]

I enjoyed this. The vast majority of the company and personal tools at the company I work for are Mitsutoyo. While I personally prefer Starrett I can't take anything away from Mitsutoyo. They perform very well under tough conditions.

[@renatohjkim6417]

the groundbreaking moments are so vivid. Was also wondering that the most precise precision equipment (that measures 3 parameters, roundness, surface) was calibrated. with very fine tune and precise tools I imagine.

[@abdulmoezkhan3870]

Wow One day I will visit

[@jordankennedy1494]

Have a set a mitutoyos. They’re awsome.

[@micheal1012]

fantastic tools, another cool place to see a video would be from Sylvac micrometers in Switzerland

[@willpestka2745]

The company I work for has a exclusively Mitutoyo micrometers and just about everyone there uses Digimatic calipers

[@TommiHonkonen]

4:26 that is not a turning center its swiss lathe they must be usin proper measurement units to make them tools as good as they are

[@Groover49]

I know this will sound strange with all the amazing machining etc going on but how awesome is the factory floor!! What did they coat that with??

[@HuFlungDung2]

Considering how long their instruments last, I find it interesting that they need to produce that much common place stuff. I'd imagine the market gets full after a few years, especially considering that they have competition selling into the same market.

[@matthewmeuleman9872]

did you two get a full set Mitutoyo Micrometers

[@jmowreader9555]

The most amazing thing to me is Mitutoyo sells 50 million micrometers per year.

[@LitchKB]

Always been a big fan of Mitutoyo tools since I snagged my first set of mics at a garage sale when I just started my machinist journey, the things were older than I am, but just felt solid and reliable. They still sit in a draw in my home shop.

[@ytfan3815]

That "outside" 0-25 mm Digimatic Micrometer (4:18) with 0.0001mm/0,1μm precision is 7x more the price ( in Europe ) then a "normal" Digital 0.001mm/1μm Mitutoyo, both with Data-output.

[@edwinlop1275]

Hopefully mitutoyo making everything in Japan. I bought a Etalon caliper brown and sharpe but now made in china not more swiss made.

[@Hendreh1]

Nice facilities, is it still radioactive?

[@zanechristenson3436]

Automation is supposed to increase efficiency production and lower end consumer cost right?

[@jeetenzhurlollz8387]

i have a japanese friend. Just interacting with her, you understand how they can do these things.

[@nilsEKH]

The founder of Mitutoyo was like - When heart and brain work together - we`ll achieve anything

[@SuperstarComponentsLTD]

I need more matsuura. Next one comes in a few weeks. Machined parts vending machines

[@ONeillKeeganJay]

"Machines are running slowly for our safety" kind of sounds like mituttoyo had anxiety on the complexity of speed vs time. That company is disneyland to me.

[@lenisgarcia8811]

Mitutoyo good

[@cesarmoura6935]

Lamentável essa indústria ter encerrado suas atividades no Brasil.

[@TurboE30M3]

I read the title and thought to myself, “50 million micrometers = 50 meters. That’s pretty big to machine” That’s how my brain works…

[@TheCyberMantis]

This is why JAPAN is the best. You are so lucky to visit Japan, and tour the factory.

[@supremecommander2398]

great footage. makes you wonder where all those micrometers go. i have one, and it will last me probably a lifetime (since i haven't used it since schooltime anyway)

[@travisjarrett2355]

I was thinking the same exact thing.

[@Brit_Toolmaker]

People learn the hard way, they buy a cheap Chinese copy, realise it's a POS and a liability that invariably gets thrown away and even smashed up! : By now they don't care about the cost of Mitutoyo because they are now converted to the sanctuary of quality and precision. Seen this happen so many times without fail.

[@D-TRIL]

🤩

[@konosaki]

I found this video by searching for some reason. This is the factory near my parent's house ...

[@kosmotto]

I can't believe that they still need ti make 50 million, do people throw them away every month?? 50 million? cant be that many machinist now a days

[@mp5kfisher241]

That place was the bomb!

[@ciepularys]

Machining 50 million micro meters? Just write machining 50 meters! :D

[@derkarhu5079]

a little detail that their camera/production people looked out for: when you were sipping the green tea (pretty strong stuff) there was an employee 'in-shot', who very quickly moved/was moved, out of frame...details. ;-) i very much enjoyed working with my Japanese suppliers, and had the chance to visit tiny villages in the mountains, where you can really see 'Japan' is not just Tokyo, but all of this other scenery and culture.

[@dylanduncan804]

I love this trade. Graduated school in December of 2021 and got my first machinist job 3 days after graduating. Tragically we all just got laid off today. I hope and pray I can find another job like I had

[@99owL]

That sucks man. Hope you find something soon keep searching

[@mohammedalbattal77]

First one We miss you titans 🌷

[@meisenhut31]

At first I read that as "machining 50 million microns" which would be 50 meters. That would be an impressively large part to machine.

[@MF175mp]

A micron is short for micrometer. They're the same thing

[@meisenhut31]

@@MF175mp yes but there are multiple meanings for micrometer. One is one millionth of a meter and one is a tool used to measure very precise dimensions.

[@brucemiller1696]

@@meisenhut31 microns and micrometers come up the same, 164 feet or so. Probably meant to say 50 microns. Not 50,000,000 micrometers.

[@brucemiller1696]

Or, making 50 million micrometers, not measuring. 🤷‍♂️

50 million micrometers is really just 50 regular meters

Is that the same as machining 50 meters?😁

So they machine 50 meters. Cool

Hi I am from indaiya any job vaccancy there

[@rosscoep1450]

Where is the demand for that quantity of micrometers?

[@DirtyRobot]

That number is over the lifetime of the company. Most pro manufacturers buy new measurement tools for each job they are doing. the tools stay with the job and should not get reused on another job.
