- Company Asai screw factory
This is a screw factory in Japan where the president alone has continued from receiving orders to manufacturing, sales, and shipping for 55 years.
The factory has a very high profit margin with fully automated mass production of screws and no employees.
Produces 144,000,000 bottles annually.

I'll bet that machine was 60 years old when he got it 30 years ago. It is amazing how well made older machinery was. I took a machining class. In the shop was a HUGE metal lathe that could turn things 7' long and 4 or 5 feet in diameter. It was made in 1932 and you can still get all new bearings for it and it is still as accurate as any lathe made today.
My dad used to make lathes, much bigger than you saw, but nothing like the biggest. The biggest I know of can work 25m length and 7m diameter, but probably not at the same time. Waldrich Siegen Profi Turn H, if I spelled it right.
@@cageordie Yes, good point, the one I worked with could do a long length or a wide diameter but not both at the same time.
There are ship yards making diesel (bunker oil actually) engines with crank shafts a hundred feet long or longer which means a HUGE lathe has to be involved.
Might have been a Monarch or American.
@cageordie there used to be a business called triggs mfg in city of commerce calif they had lathes that machined the metal o rings for rocket engines some were fifteen twenty feet or more in diameter they had to use a lift to load stock onto machine and also a catcher to get part as it was machined off was there when a operator failed to place his catcher...beheaded
@Brian some longer parts thread isn't cut its rolled between two mandrels some hot rolled others cold rolled
Very nice precision work
I would like to see how the threads were rolled. I assume not cut.
Don't know which is better, the actions of the machine, the operators skill or the sounds. They are all great.
Para cerrar el taller innediatamente. No pasa una minima inspeccion de condiciones de trabajo. Es raro que no le falte parte de un dedo o haya perdido el oido

Made in Japan❤👍🇯🇵
I ran bolt makers at a fastener company that ditched their vintage National and Nedschroef machines for cheap Chinese machines that ran a couple ppm more. The old machines could head, trim, point and roll threads with each stroke of the ram. The new machines were strictly cold headers, so they had to add secondary work to parts. Guess what happened.
Boleh ikut kerja,saya biasa ngoprasikan mesin Heading
I wonder how his hearing is holding out, with all the clanging metal.
thanks man !
400 тыщ за день ну ну. Визуальный осмотр.про мерила что нибудь слышал. И какие 7 станков. 4 процесса. Высадка.накатка.мойка.гальваника. и это один за день ниччо не попутали. И ещё у мужика хороший сбыт.или это один заводик на всю японию😊
Io ho lavorato alla Bulten e con una macchina uguale che faceva 66 bulloni al minuto da 16 mm, 5/8 unc, unf, wittworth

Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment!
@@process_r Hello from Germany,you are a very good Worker👍👍🍵🍵
I'm
So this where all the shitty Chinese screws made from inferior alloys come from ...
Neat little shop. Sadly it looks like when the owner retires these machines will end up in the scrap yard because you don't have any young people learning how to work and maintain them. Would have been interesting to see some of the actions like heading screws and rolling the threads at a slower pace to see how it's actually done in the machine.
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment!
It is a pity that there is no successor. The president's son used to work there, but he quit.
Hear ya have 47 years setting up different types screw machines and did prototype machining now no one wants to get hands dirty retire soon to my home workshop maybe when I pass grandson will take my machines
Why would you manually do something that a factory can do to better precision and on orders of magnitude greater volume
@@wazaagbreak-head6039 The fact that he operates with a significant profit margin demonstrates the why someone would continue to use these old machines.
The fact that you think this is what making screws manually looks like shows you don't know much about it. These screw machines are all automatic, hence why a single guy can produce millions of screws all by himself. And I'm sure his screws are more than accurate enough.
@@wazaagbreak-head6039screws are still made this way today. Screws are not made in CNC machines. But screws can be made much cheaper from another place not far from this gentleman’s home…. I would proudly buy this man’s fasteners for my shop.
My cousin would love working there 'cause he just screws around all day anyway.
Amazing guy! I love that he has a belt holder for his micrometer! 😊
0:52 There's something so cool about carrying a micrometer in a holster on your belt. Sort of like the machinist version of a gunslinger. "You're a thousandth out of spec! You're under arrest!"
I just love the japanese with their appreciation for high quality. Please never give that up
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment!
Reminds me of a screw shop I used to work in. We made every kind of screw, nut anything up to 1". We ran 8 Davenport screw machines, and they were old, noisy and nasty, but they were accurate. I miss it sometimes, just me and the machines.
Yea ran those most of jobs we bid on weren't for parts was for chips...the brass
As I said, crappy UNC luckily nobody use outside NA.
Молодцы!!! А у нас России не делают даже гвозди!!! Господин Титов (советник Путина) Говорит: Мы все купим!!!
Wow, watching this video sure takes me back to the old days. That’s a mini cold heading shop, a lot of machines for one man to work, impressive.
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment. Yes, the president said that it is fully automatic and efficient.
I used to make these parts on B&S "00" screw machines. Sure would like to know more about this process!
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment! I'd be happy to entertain you with other videos as well.
Had my hand caught in a B&S screw machine. That was 40 years ago. I am still machining. Have 2 lathes, and 2 mills in my garage. Screw machines are on another level. Maybe now I could master one.
@Wild E. Coyote well fairly easy any brownie or cva..index davenport Acme just the matter of concept..been setting up 45 years sad to see the old dinosaurs phased out...most of reason is no longer tax deductible...cnc are but screw Mach is cheaper overall
@@miguelcastaneda7257 There's still things that good old screw machines and purpose built machines can do faster and more economical than modern CNC's. I worked @ John Deere as an electrical maintenance tech. about 10 years ago and they had a number of purpose built machines 40+ years old that they were still running because nothing modern could compete. Interestingly, they were still running a big old Warner & Swasey NC turret lathe (converted to CNC) made in the 70's because nothing modern could remove as much material/hr as that old behemoth. The increased productivity offset any tax benefits of replacing it. They had a lot of really cool, unique equipment there. Unfortunately, between the ridiculous union politics and Deere treating everybody like they're 5 years old, I couldn't take it and found a better job.
@Marc's Eclectic Stuff true at work I finally convinced them to blank out parts on brown and sharp screw machines they can run four five hundred a day then cnc do the burnishing making two hundred or more versus previous doing it all cnc lucky get fifty a day ...screw Mach only specialized tool is form everything else pershiable tooling drill cut off tool cams are pick up am on cncs now but did set up and reapair for forty plus years
No computer to be found anywhere in that shop. Bliss.....

He's obviously holding up the custom of high Japanese quality, too bad we've lost all our screw shops to China in the US
Not all of them.
I know of one in stl
Rockford IL had a bunch when I was growing up
The US and Chinese trying to "screw" each other
Mill-Max has a large captive screw machine shop on Long Island, NY. They make all sorts of connector pins for electronics.
Кустарщина. А ещё Япония. Я думал у них там всё высоком технологическом уровне.
this guy is a bolt lord, but hiring 1 employee would be the smartest decision of his life
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment!
That's one option, too. I think so.
That’s a fantastic little shop
Fascinating process. But that endless-loop/endlessly repetitious music bed gets absolutely mind-numbing after about as many repetitions as screws being made here. (OK, a bit of an exaggeration, but still...) Why is it deemed mandatory to stick music behind every friggin' video that gets posted? Has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand.
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment! Thank you for giving me your precious time.
The thing about these 1 man band workshops that always makes me nervous is if he had an accident. With no apprentice or someone in the office, it could be several hours before he's found, if he did manage to knock himself unconcious. In our workshop we have a rule that no one is to work alone. All it takes is a single trip and to smack your head on something and you're in serious trouble if theres no one else around to get help.
Despite that worry, A very cool little shop! But all this skill will eventually get lost to time if no one younger is learning these skills and able to continue on when this guy retires.
Hello from Tokyo! Thanks for your comment.
I agree with you.
But the president said that one person is comfortable and good.
HE IS SO NICE TO WEAR MASK 😷 SO THE POOR METAL SCREWS WON'T CATCH COVID-19... 😏
I had a buddy that had a business that rebuilt headers in the Rockford, Il. area from about 1965 till 2000. In the 40's ,50's and 60's Rockford's nickname was Screw city for all the screw machine Co's that were there. That's 1940's etc. if this post is still out there 200 years from now. Every year there is a Screw City Beer Fest.
Any of these mass produced screws and bolts often come with made in China flat pack assembly products and often the screws are deformed or have no notches for screwdrivers to engage with. I have a whole collection of these from over the years.
大手製造メーカーはこのような損得抜きで作ってくれている企業があることを知らない。
このような工場があってこそということを知るべきだろう。
ただただ協力業者をたたけば儲けを出せる大手とは違う。
1個何銭で稼いでる企業があるからこそ成り立ってることを知るべきだ。
日本人の職人魂ですね。ほんとに自分に厳しいし、製品愛に満ちている。企業は部品の海外発注で損得ばかり考えてると、技術者は育たず品質劣化で、メイドインジャパンは地に堕ちるでしょうね。
Тот, кто писал заголовок, понятия не имеет, как выглядят шурупы. Это ВИНТ, а не шуруп!
How does he get anything done? He just screws around all day 😅
The president said that it is fully automatic and easy. However, he said that he would like to turn this factory into a museum in the future because there is no successor.
All we have left in the US is screwballs.
Thanks for the comment!
You forget highballs and speedballs.
Did a few days of electrical work in a shop that had maybe a dozen Brown & Sharpe screw machines years ago. Owner told me the machines were over 20 years old and run 24/5. Worst thing due to oil mist oil was on everything that you touched. They would shut down one week a year and to clean oil buildup. One time they were making cheap screwdriver handles. In less then 5 seconds they cut out a channel for your finger, drilled a deep hole for screwdriver blade and beveled cut off edge.
When I’m 60 I want to be him, so cool ☀️

Now I know why Japan was a formidable opponent in WW2 and why my Japanese products are such great quality. Many thanks..
After the war when they were occupied by the U.S. we helped them get back on the road to economic stability by teaching them SPC (Statistical Process Control). They embraced and improved it. Changing tooling just before it fails saves you a lot of scrap.
I worked at a book making plant they had some equipment that was over 110 years old and that was 26 years ago. Old German equipment lasts.
Now you know why they fail… 😂
Great video luv machines that make things.I guess this is the epitomy of a one man shop and why a mask when your all by yourself I was wondering. Maybe some hazardous dust in the air from the process possibly. Those machines were made well in a different day & age when they made with tremendous durability & high quality ........
Oil mist.
@@rkgaustin9043 That makes sense..

なかなか壊れないし、職人がいれば修理もできる。
今の機械も悪くないけど、壊れたら基本終わり。
テスラ車なんてほぼ総取っ替え、こういうのは気に入らない。
None of the interesting parts of the process are shown. No threading, no shaping of the head, no blanks... 🤷🏻♂️
SOMEBODY, PLEASE GET THIS MAN A MEDAL!
?? 1,000,000 screws will take about 11 days continuous to produce ?? Or 5.5 days ?
If only Jeff bezos didn’t start Amazon sand sell books
This is exactly where I imagined he would be
It looks and sounds like Willy Wonka's inventing room Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Nice to see things that last. Quietly working away. Much success to to this company
It does it in 1 step? That’s crazy.
The best part of this guys life is that any day he wants, he can wake up, look in the mirror and tell his boss to go screw himself!
Great Job kids today cant run 5 machines at once but this guy is rocken n rollin !
excuse me sir, i made a mistake in my order. i only needed 144 screws, NOT 144 million. sorry about that. ;) my bad.
でもこう言うのって、1キロ作って数円のくらいしか貰えないんでしょ。そこがなんとかならないかなぁ。
It only takes 10 months for my machine to make 144 million nails. He needs 12 months.

There used to be 850,000 of these small operators in Japan.
wow.
Nothing digital in this machine unless you count his fingers.
3:55 instead of a mask, he is better off with hearing protection.
Respect to a factory where president works too!
I used to live next door to a small company that made specialty screws, aptly called "Specials, Inc." - but they went bankrupt and the building was abandoned, with the ancient equipment still in it. The roof leaked, and the whole place started falling apart - a shame, really.
And this a one man operation, I’d like to see that in the USA… nobody wants to work anymore, just sit on their butt and get paid..😩
I have a friend who is not even 50 yet. He had lots of screw machines like these. He was also, basically, a one man shop, too. Today, he has gotten rid of all the old machines and replaced them with CNC machines that run day & night. He loads bars of material, shuts the lights off, and goes home to eat and be with his wife & kids. He makes a lot of money. He has to, because the machines are over a quarter million dollars each. This is not in the midwest or, even down south. This is a Long Island operation. I don't know where all these commenters got the idea that we don't make anything here any more. America has a huge manufacturing capability.
One machine
60 years old
144,000,000 screws
And Home Depot is charging me $10 a pound!!! Disgusting
7:50 Look at how the hands of a Japanese patron look.
And then think about how the "patrons" look in Europe and America.
Well done Mr. Asai! All respect from Romania!
Thanks for the comment! I will let President Asai know!
5:29 he sticks his hands in the washer like it's nothing. I would think he would have some kind of tool for that. That tough old man could probably sand drywall with his palms
Этот шуруп называется "ВИНТ"
At 6:06, that pivot screw looks very loose.
Why is he wearing a mask alone in his workshop?
Corre riegos, trabajando solo.😮
in deutschland waeres unmöglich;-)
A good example is in the case of machine maintenance. If preventive maintenance, scheduled maintenance and breakdown maintenance of those machines are carried out properly, this machine will work well even for hundred years. This gentleman seems to be dedicated to machine maintenance

More screwing than Brazzers!
The thing that I fail to understand is how the heads are done. Cold forging, I presume, but I think those are stainless steel screws, which makes me wonder. Anyway, those are nice quality screws. Great for cameras and precision equipment.
Glad the Chinese didn’t get all the old machines. Hard to imagine but modern machines are lighting faster.
Безопастность как на пакистанском заводе.
