Today's visit was to a lathe shop located in Morikawachi, Higashiosaka, Yokoyama Seisakusho! This month's interview is a bit special. The visit was an important milestone for Mr. Yokoyama. This is the day of the introduction of the NC combined lathe, which was mentioned in the last month's article. Early in the morning, heavyweights came to check the installation position and orientation, and to work with existing machines to secure the lead wires for carrying in, they were working with them. Yokoyama watching it. I'm a little nervous, and try again today! I'm a little glad that I finally reached this day, so I can feel the determination that ... You can read various emotions from the back. Of course, it is a big shopping in terms of money, but parting from the existing machine to go to a small town factory to secure a place, going to training for new equipment, Or make adjustments. Yokoyama is doing this alone. It's easy to say that adding new equipment is a word, but it's really amazing given this background. While observing the details of the work at the end, I feel that it is a decision that can only be made by a company that has a vision of 3 years, 5 years, 10 years later. Some of Yokoyama's acquaintances are also saying, "I came to watch over Yokoyama!" I was glad to come to this special day! ―Yokoyama is finally here. "Yes, I'm happy! One word. I'll go to training again in February and move this combined lathe back in March to get back to the work pace. I have to go, I have to change the way I work, the amount of work I can do has been greatly reduced since my father collapsed to work alone last year. The work has been reduced compared to the time when orders were received one after another by fax. I was driven by the sense of danger that it would be easily crushed just by waiting. It was last August. This day has been celebrated about six months from that day. When I thought that it was not the case, I heard a story at a machine tool manufacturer's exhibition and decided promptly. This sense of speed and decision-making ability is Yokoyama's characteristic. While listening to such a story, the installation is completed successfully! ! With the introduction of this combined lathe, it will be possible to receive requests for complex processing, lots of lots, and requests for precision, which could not be received because man-hours could not be met because processing with general-purpose machines was the main until now. . Reborn as a new Yokoyama Factory from March! Thank you very much Yokoyama-san today.
