Quality control initiatives

We prepare daily quality control reports that are shared throughout the company in order to keep all members apprised of quality control initiatives. Our sales and manufacturing leaders also host weekly quality control meetings.

• Daily: quality reports issued
• Weekly: quality control meetings
• Annually: define quality targets and initiatives for each team

We conduct full inspections on all items and all lots, no matter how small, to prevent defects and leaks.

We use precision cold-drawn materials manufactured in Japan in our parallel shaft keys, which ensures that we reduce variability in quality.

Cold drawn materials are finished at room temperature, which confers the following benefits over heat processing:

・Material strength is maintained

・High dimensional accuracy

We retain traceability information for all products in order to ensure thorough management of all items we manufacture. This aids in responding with alacrity to adverse events and preventing problems before they occur.

In addition to inspections by hand, we employ dedicated equipment to check for foreign contaminants and inspect all of the several tens of thousands of products we ship out daily.

We pursue the following environmental protection and conservation initiatives.

Local environmental protection initiatives

• Reduced power consumption
• Separation of waste materials and utilization of recycled products
• Legal and regulatory compliance through environmental activities
• Education and public relations on environmental conservation
