My grandad was a nuclear engineer and my favorite heirloom from him is my pair of Miutoyo calipers. He passed down to me when I started my degree and 60 years later they're still the best tool money can buy.
That's a great story. Thank you for sharing!
I was fortunate to come across an older machinist at a shop I worked at who had his own shop earlier in life and he sold me some amazing oldschool Starret mics and othet tools aswell as these super expensive german drill chucks, all for pennies on the dollar and those are all by far my most cherished tools and favorite to use.
Mitutoyo is that one legendary brand where you know you are going to get some of the *the best* and most precise and accurate tools humans are capable of creating.
I feel like there's a level of prestige in owning tools from Mitutoyo, even though they can be found in-use everywhere. I know a few of my local auto mechanic shops have at least one set of Mitutoyo calipers on hand because I've seen them while bringing my car in for service. I'd bet they likely have a slew of other Mitutoyo tools in a toolbox I didn't see.
Whether you realize it or not, everything we interact with daily was designed, developed, and engineered using at least one of Mitutoyo tools.
Thank you Mitutoyo for doing what you do.
This is by far the best tour you have ever done, what an incredible factory, with total automation, truly amazing.
This was an amazing tour!
We always longed to see the Mitutoyo plant up close. Thank you guys for making this happen Boom 💥
Our pleasure Mohammed!
@@travisjarrett2355 Great job Travis! Amazing AND rare footage. You guys really had full access!
A Mitutoyo tool is for a life. Thanks for this Video. Imperassiv.
Mitutoyo is in Heart of every Machinist
💌
13 minutes didn’t do justice. Incredible factory would love to see a half hour worth. Great job TITANS OF CNC
Much More to Come
@@TITANSofCNC CAN'T WAIT!
And, here i am, thinking about finally retiring my 150mm IP67 Mitutoyo caliper, after 5,5 years of daily use in a job shop... It has it quirks, few dings, but i still use it every day, even though i know that in some ways it measures 0,02-0,04mm off and is getting a little worn and a bit looser in the 0-50mm range... I can get a new one any time i want, but it gained some sentimental value for me, it was the first caliper i got, i learned everything i know as a CNC machinist today with this caliper in my hand: setups, tooling, programming, 3axis, 5axis, lathes... Its hard to move on and get a shiny new one...
Im in love with their colored dial caliper 😍
These calmer type of videos are great
This is manufacturing and assembly on the highest level. Amazing to see such tidy workplaces and motivated workers
Won’t hold a candle to some of the tool factories in India!
@@judd_s5643 lol, nobody in India would have shoes, glove's, or safety glasses and the place would be dirty
Most of my measurement equipment is mitotoyo. They are definately one of the best. Also this video is much better than the hyper click baity over enthusiastic stuff that has been pumped out lately. Just being honest.
Still have and use my dad's mitutoyo caliper... Still smooth... Still accurate and possibly the only one I need. Fact... The caliper is older than me
I’ve always said the best mark of true craftsmanship is longevity. Titans for watching my friend.
I remember visiting the Utsunomia factory when I worked at Mitutoyo. I was especially impressed by the 10-meter underground scale factory where the ultra-high precision scales were manufactured.
Great job Travis and Tyson. So happy to see all this "never before seen" footage. It's truly a rare glimpse in our quality manufacturing process. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you MAC! What an opportunity and pleasure it was to get an inside look at the manufacturing process behind the equipment we all know and love.
great tour, Tyson and Travis are so much better at factory tours tham Titan
This was really cool mitutoyo is one of my favorite brands thanks for sharing this video.
Japanese manufacturing is so incredibly impressive
The digital Mitutoyo calipers with absolute encoding are really neat.
Travis and Tyson. Home run. Thanks for sharing. You shared the true spirit of Mitutoyo and the reason we love this company.
Thanks Todd! Glad you liked it.
That is so cool that you both got to do that tour. Thanks for bringing it to us. So awesome to see that much automation. Most people have no idea how complex of a process it is to bring them the off the shelf products. Down to the little eye rings on their shoes for the laces. Nearly everything we have on us daily goes through the manufacturing process. Much love and gratitude
It was pretty amazing to see firsthand my friend. Thanks for watching!
My first ever machinist tool was a brand new set of 6 inch digital mitutoyo calipers. My dad's friend gave them to me when I was 14 years old, so 23 years ago. I still have them, and my dad's friend has since passed. A few years ago I sent those calipers out to get reground. The company was very polite, and said it wasn't worth it because the repair would cost more than a new set. I told them I really appreciated their honesty, but these are very sentimental to me and I'd still like them fixed. They fixed them up nice, and I still use them to this day. Can't beat that Mitutoyo quality, and your most trusted tools will become sentimental to you.
This is awesome! Mitutoyo tours are rare and hard to come by on youtube! Thanks for the great content!
Got to know about this company recently, didnt knew it was this big! Glad to be using its products.
Amazing. I still have my Mitutoyo digital caliper from the early 90's. They still work perfectly.
I sooo wanted to see what goes inside Mitutoyo, it's fxxxkin insane. Just the level of cleanliness and systematic approach. Next stop Zeiss
The deburing via the multi axis robot is actually smth i see the first time, thx titans for that POV 💪🇩🇪
All my precious measurement tools were Miutoyo purchased 45 years ago and used them every working day for 30 years and continue to use them to this day. My most used tool is my mechanical digital dial caliper and the mics were only used to do the final precision check. Some of the boxes are worn out but all the instruments work just as good today as they did 45 years ago.
Very cool!
Mitutoyo! They make premier products. The best in the world!
Great trip!
Thanks for sharing! :)
One of the main centres of precision worldwide.
love this!! Japan is an amazing place to see and to experience a very disciplined culture. MITUTOYO ROCKS! Boom.
日本に来てくれてありがとう🇯🇵私はあなた達と同じような仕事をしています。Mitsutoyoは日本の誇りです🥳
This is Japan! And I have been given the honor to live there permanently. This is a small glimpse of an extraordinary human mind committed to perfection.
I believe that the Japanese have great quality stuff, the products they produce have been proven to last. It’s like driving a Toyota or a Honda that car will last you forever if you take care of it. Mitutoyo , and also Okuma and morí seiki machines in my opinion the best
Very nice tour. Thanks for sharing guys!
One of the best tours I've seen to date!
Amazing tour. That perfect precision!
I swear to you one day I will buy a mitotoyo clipper from your store and ship it to my country only because I adore this academy and I want really to support those guys who supported me before 💚
That part kit system at 5:20 is used in quite a lot of assembly lines. Rolls Royce had (possibly still have) a job role that was just bulding the parts kits for the assembly techs.
Amazing! Had no idea how large of an operation this was. Mitutoyo has always been my favorite precision tool company. They have great quality at an affordable price. Thanks for sharing!
What can I say, simply AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing this vlog. I always geek out when seeing how things are made and the machines and processes that make those things. Thank you very much!!!
This was the best video I've ever seen on the Titan channel. Thanks also for toning it down since it is Japanese culture.
Rated R content on youtube again guys! Im actually sad this is just 12 minutes long but you gave us a glimps into whats going on at Mitutoyo. Much love for the effort! Hope you had an epic time over in Japan. And heck thats one clean as heck and organized shop, as impressive as i imagined :|
We will have more Japan videos coming out. Longer videos don’t do good on our channel so we give bite size chunks
@@TITANSofCNC Yeah a 2 hour video in one piece wouldnt be the best option i assume but hey. Im happy to suck in every tiny bit you guys put out, awesome piece of work there again. MUCH appreciated!
@@TITANSofCNC20-30 minute videos would do well. Check out Cutting edge engineerings channel they get massive views
@@TITANSofCNC we want moar!!!
@@dakotareid1566 yeah but his (CEE) format isn’t the same
I, as a German CNC-specialist apprentice, am wondering how it came to be, that in a Japanese Factory they use "Meister" (German word for Master/Teacher) instead of a own Japanese Word.
That’s interesting🤔
@@TITANSofCNC Well you guys have the contacts, maybe u can ask them? I really would like to know why.
Japanese people actually use many German words, especially in literature for example, they sometimes borrow other things from Germans too like from their culture and stuff like that.
There are many TH-cam videos that explain this stuff, it's because of history and also because of how similar their cultures are in some ways. When you watch some fantasy anime for example, they use German words for spells, it's quite funny sometimes.
@@DolezalPetr i see, but from anime (where just some words get used out of context to have something that sounds cool) to a prefectly used word which is in use XX Years... thats kinda cool
Wow. These tours are amazing!
Using one coolant proof, very nice instrument! now I know how its made , thanks for the tour😇
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thx 🇯🇵,Thx mitutoyo 🙏
When you get close to the source of precision you start seeing company creating a measuring tool to verify a measuring tool. 😉
I loved the Mitutoyo instruments the first time I used them in the metrology practices at university. They were pretty amazing to use. Today I have been gifted with a fantastic tour of the manufacturing process. It is so automated and efficient that it seems easy, when in reality there is a lot of experience and hard work behind. I really appreciate that masters at their work are recognized by the company as shown in the video.
Impressive video, I am a happy Mitutoyo product user.
Love the awesome content that many of us aren't able to experience first hand. Thanks for sharing guys.
This is awesome!
Travis, man your flow when you explaning things is amazing. booommmmm
Thank you sir!
Amazing tour, thank you for making this, and also of course Mitutoyo for letting them in.
My dad gave me a Mitutoyo caliper from when he worked at 3M in 2001 and I still use it daily. Very high quality products they make.

Mitutuyo is the best 😁 very accurate measuring tools ✌️. Finally i see some glimpses how these calipers is manufactured.
This video is 10/10. The enthusiastic, concise and educational presenting by Tyson and Travis, the filming of the processes and giving us a broader sense of the manufacturing scale and the editing to make it all come together and make sense while keeping the video moving at a solid pace. Also can't forget the real star(s) of the show: Japan, Mitutoyo, the machines and the HUMANS! Just perfect.
Japan's Quality is the best all over the world. Now I know how this things made. I love Mitutuyo calipers I used this everyday in my work. thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@travisjarrett2355 your welcome ❤️.
So cool, the level of accuracy is incredible
Outstanding tour you guys! Thank you for taking us along with you. What an amazing factory and product!
Thanks Shanie. We had a blast and learned a lot along the way!
Probably one of my favorite factory tours. Nice to see Tyson and Travis on the road.
Another great video on a pillar in the manufacturing community!!
Thanks for taking us on that journey gentleman! I was impressed by the level of precision and efficiency!
Thanks brother!
Japan inc. is truly one of its kind and admired
This is a freakin' awesome video!!!! I can't believe you how lucky you guys are to experience that.
video raised respect for MITUTOYO From India🇮🇳
I use Mitutoyo calipers and rulers...great quality.
Awesome shop tour, thankyou.
Thank you for this wonderful insight into one of our manufacturing units.
Video left me speechless man, just wow 🙌🏼👌🏽
My first pair of calipers were a purple faced 6” minutito caliper that I was gifted from my dad. They were stolen at my first job and I’ve always wanted to buy another set to give back to my dad. One day I’ll find one
Amazing tour thank you
I love to see efficiency and accuracy on this scale. I would have loved my cast iron pulley shop to have been as clean when I was working.
Very clean manufacturing facilities. Some very impressive shops in Japan.
Excellent video Travis and Tyson! Mitutoyo has been my preferred choice of precision inspection equipment in industry. The quality and workmanship shown in this video speaks volumes.
I was super excited for the team visiting Japan! From what I understand, Japan is focused on building community and maintaining peace. Can’t wait to hear more about your experience!
Thanks Sara! It was definitely an experience to remember!
That's an amazing process. Maybe even more impressive is that as many as they make, it all ends up getting to a consumer. Hard to imagine there would be that much demand for it, but that's a good thing.
Ha ha, I remember thinking the same exact thing doing the tour! Where are they all going?
Mostly to manufacturers, engineering jobs, and various industries where they constantly replace these instruments for accuracy.
I don't see hobbyists and home gamers like me buying another set in their lifetime, unless it somehow broke or got lost.
Wow, really looking forward to seeing more of Japanese manufacturing. What a legendary factory tour video. Never thought I would get to see this. Thank you for making this.
Mt.Fuji is about to erupt within one month. Excess silicon should be mined.
Can mine silicon a few kilometers or hundreds of kilometers away from Mount Fuji. As long as the silicon is extracted, the pressure of that layer is reduced, Mount Fuji volcano will have less chance to erupt.
プロの宇宙情報通訳者である堀尾忠正は、アカシックレコードを読み、富士山が1か月以内に噴火することを発見しました。
富士山から数キロ、数百キロ離れた場所でシリコンを採掘できる。シリコンが抽出される限り、その層の圧力が低下し、富士山の火山が噴火する可能性は低くなります。

Holy cow! This is an amazing video. MORE PLEASE!!!!
Fascinating video, guys! Well done! 🖖😀
Crazy to see this. Awesome to see the process my calipers have gone through.
Wow, this is an amazing video Iv always wanted to see into their process, one of the best companies in the world . I’m sure they have a copy exact protocol like a lot of super critical parts we make in the usa
Brilliant video guys,thanks for sharing.
i really like your guys tour videos this one and the micrometer video was really interesting, keep it up would love to see more and that 4 jaw vice
I love my Mitutoyo vernier caliper. One day I will have a Digimatic!
I operated Mitutoyo CMM’s at Rolls-Royce inspecting their fan blades, we had 8 in tandem and I was the team leader.
That was amazing! I wish it were longer and even more in depth.
Fantastic content, I don't comment very often but this was amazing!!
So cool to see this stuff being made! Good job Travis and Tyson!!
You’re killing me bro 😂!
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the tour. Ciao, Marco.
Very nice video I never knew so much goes into making a Mitutoyo caliper.
Super content, I could watch this for hours!
Cool trip… I haven’t been to Japan for years now.. It’s always fascinating to see how they balance efficiency between human and automation.
And of course it’s cool to see the product..
Oh man, i love Japan and specially this company! Good job guys!
Been there and toured around most of the Mitutoyo factories. Great place and an excellent company to work for :)
Oh man what an amazing video, really cool, loved it
Very impressive video.
Giving us at home here the insight into manufacturing excellence at Mitutoyo.
One more example of Titans example of quality and the currant State of Art in manufacturing.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Makes me want to purchase some new Mitutoyo tools and or Calipers.
Take care, Ed.
Thank you for the video. I have a Mitutoyo Japan dial bore gauge from the 1970s. That era of tooling is difficult to find! My 0-6" set is newer and I use it often. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the video!
This is actually pure education. I will forever look at my callipers in a new light after this!
Great video! Best measuring instruments on the planet!
cool to see where our calipers come from. best calipers i've ever used.
Awesome video guys!!!
