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 😉 👍
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.
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.
@@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. 💥
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.😊
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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I’m just in time to invest a little bit of money into my metrology tools. When I saw the 40 Year old cabinets, a manual lathe, lot of good worker, and the green tee…. Decision made. Thank You! Trow some kisses to the girls there!
Funny how each of you got an equal opportunity to talk. 😝 like sharing 🍪 cookies 🍪 at lunch. “One for you, one for you, one for you, one for you.” Oh, and, yes… you DO need your camera operators.
"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.
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)
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.
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.
Bravo......my friend works at aplace...defense......polish glass........spy camera........6 nano meters.......6 atoms.......? .......I'm surprised they let u walk around without clean room gear......cheers
Even though we have to budget our money and save up for a little longer, we will always buy products from Japan versus buying from the world's capital of junk which is commi china. We are completely sick if china's mass-produced junk that rarely has the durability and performance as their products are advertised to be giving us. Its just hyped up products that are often times quickly disposable junk that gets dumped in a landfill
Robot makes 24/7 365 shift. And absolute precsion every moment. Those jobs are not for humans. I like jobs where i could shine and smile, when i see some robots i dont think that job could be mine
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.
Those Japanese still amazes us with their craftsmanship from past centuries until today... Thank you guys for this wonderful trip BOOM 💥
One of the few products still made in Japan !
wow, mitutoyo still uses cnc drills from the 1990s, it's amazing
I lost it when I saw those robodrills! I ran one at work and its honestly a piece of junk.
My boy Travis got a clean cut and started rocking the ‘stash for this trip 🤘
👊🤘
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 😉 👍
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!
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.

Not sure if its appropriate to say BOOM in this Video^^
Hopefully mitutoyo making everything in Japan. I bought a Etalon caliper brown and sharpe but now made in china not more swiss made.
Thank you so much
amazing factory !!! thanks to share your visit to Mitutoyo in Japan
As a quality engineer, this video was amazing to see. I always use mitutoyo calipers and mics whenever I get the chance
I've worked at shops where the cantina wasn't as clean as their production line. Outstanding discipline and dedication.
that floor is spotless
What a beautiful facility. They definitely have amazing quality control.
5S all the way with the floor markings and everything. Love it!

It's nice to see how your daily measuring equipment is been manufactured.
Looks like an amazing trip! Well done fellas. So awesome to see Mitutoyo producing their amazing products. Awesome video!
Their dedication to precision is outstanding. You know they're great when they make their own machines, to quality check their products.
I have been a Mits guy since I got out of trade school. Good to see the process. Great tools.
Titans of CNC guys done a excellent job in the machine shop as well as in the outside too..
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.
Nice video now I know the place behind this high tech instruments I used everyday... I'm a CNC machine MPE operator. 👍
Say what you want about the Japanese but you have to love there commitment to perfection
Care and precision are built into the Japanese mind.
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.

Look at those beautiful Star CNC
That was a real treat to see first hand where all the measuring equipment in my tool box came to life.....
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
That sucks man. Hope you find something soon keep searching

Im from Chile, but one day i Will be working to Titans of CNC
i have a japanese friend. Just interacting with her, you understand how they can do these things.

Wow really good tour
Thank you for the good video
Not many countries can compare to Japan, maybe Germany. But things changing
Have a set a mitutoyos. They’re awsome.
You Guys amazing
I found this video by searching for some reason. This is the factory near my parent's house ...
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.
Thanks for making this video. It was amazing
Great video. Loved seeing the inner workings of the Mitutoyo company. Looks like you all a great time there. Ciao, Marco.
Thanks Marco! We had a great time for sure.
Machining 50 million micro meters?
Just write machining 50 meters! :D
fantastic tools, another cool place to see a video would be from Sylvac micrometers in Switzerland
Incredible 💎
I’m just in time to invest a little bit of money into my metrology tools.
When I saw the 40 Year old cabinets, a manual lathe, lot of good worker, and the green tee…. Decision made.
Thank You!
Trow some kisses to the girls there!
Nice facilities, is it still radioactive?
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??
The most amazing thing to me is Mitutoyo sells 50 million micrometers per year.
The company I work for has a exclusively Mitutoyo micrometers and just about everyone there uses Digimatic calipers
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
Wow
One day I will visit
This is why JAPAN is the best. You are so lucky to visit Japan, and tour the factory.
I need more matsuura. Next one comes in a few weeks. Machined parts vending machines
Funny how each of you got an equal opportunity to talk. 😝 like sharing 🍪 cookies 🍪 at lunch. “One for you, one for you, one for you, one for you.” Oh, and, yes… you DO need your camera operators.
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
"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.
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)
I was thinking the same exact thing.

Automation is supposed to increase efficiency production and lower end consumer cost right?
did you two get a full set Mitutoyo Micrometers
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.
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…
👌👌👌👌ᵛⁱᵍⁿᵉˢʰ ᵐᵃᶜʰⁱⁿᵉ ᵗᵒᵒˡˢ
Mitutoyo good
50 million micrometers is really just 50 regular meters
That place was the bomb!
The founder of Mitutoyo was like - When heart and brain work together - we`ll achieve anything
Lamentável essa indústria ter encerrado suas atividades no Brasil.
Bravo......my friend works at aplace...defense......polish glass........spy camera........6 nano meters.......6 atoms.......? .......I'm surprised they let u walk around without clean room gear......cheers
Is that the same as machining 50 meters?😁
First one
We miss you titans 🌷
you have to visit a maid cafe
oh hey yo!
when R they gona make these in plastic!!!🖖
Take not guys every Swiss in there was a star😊
Starships are expensive. I want to name it. How about the USS John Birch?
🤩
Please visit Fanuc.
Shouldn't they have escalators too....😅.......stairs is not justified in that place😝

Do they ever make a mistake?
Ninja BOOM
How's the toilet there.
Amazing company, Just one complain : so many Chinese made counterfeit instrument
Matching 50 meters?
americano querendo ser engraçado é engraçado
Are they Radioactive?
So they machine 50 meters. Cool
Amazing company but the robots taking a lot of jobs from humans and hope you guys made it back healthy and not sick
It's impossible to get sick with all those people wearing masks.
Robot makes 24/7 365 shift. And absolute precsion every moment. Those jobs are not for humans. I like jobs where i could shine and smile, when i see some robots i dont think that job could be mine
When you need to get down to 8 millionth's come see me. On second thought, don't. I retired for a reason.
Jobs these days, have a hard time looking for people, they should go automaton, so we don't lose jobs to oversee
take pride in your work...majority of workers here dont give single ayota of living fuck about craftsmanship, that was breath of fresh air
