Tokyo Nozzle Misaki Manufactory Misaki Factory

General Manager Mr. Ishiwatari

It is fun to create difficult parts.

We do not say "it looks OK", but "we confirm one more time"

I manage the machining department in the factory. I am in charge of measurement of diesel engine injectors, friction welding, heat treatment of metal parts, ultrasonic filter cleaning, creating tools with the lathe, etc. Especially, almost all measurements are only carried out by me. As there are no drawings which can be used for maintenance, we need to measure the parts to be serviced when received, to determine where and how repairs are required. After reparing, we measure them one more time. This measurement after finishing is a very important process. We do not say "it looks OK", but "we thoroughly confirm one more time". Without this attitude, the accuracy of the maintenance service cannot be increased. After the checks carried out by each employee in each process, I carry out the final check.

There is infinite possibility in maintenance

Our factory introduced friction welding machines 2 years ago. Technically speaking, this machine unifies different metals through vacuum single phase bonding technology. This technology is applied to remanufacture and repair plungers. It can bond different materials, for example copper and aluminium. We carried out durability and strength tests assuming actual usage, as well as thorough quality controls, to practicalize this technology to remanufacture parts. Now the possibilities in maintenance have been widened infinitely. Remanufacturing and repair using a friction welding machine also contribute to shortened delivery periods and cost reductions, which is the best for the clients. We want to spread awareness of this machine to more clients.

We feel the most passionate when creating difficult things

After all, I like creating things. I can be absorbed in processing with machines. It is our challenge to remanufacture the parts using a friction welding machine, and to apply coatings on plungers to increase their performance and value. It is exciting to have new challenges regardless the age, especially when challenging something no one has tried before. We really feel good when forming something other companies said they could not. We feel the most passionate when creating difficult things. Creating what is difficult for everyone, after trial and error, is the best part in repairs. In that sense, repairs can be called consecutive challenges. We feel happy when our clients believe that TOKYO NOZZLE can make it.
