Upholding Mechanical Part Processing with an Unchanging "Craftsmanship"
"The Craftsman is Like a Deity," a book title by Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda, also represents the excellent genetic makeup of this Japanese mechanical part processing enterprise. Nowadays, precision mechanical part processing factories are all talking about the spirit of craftsmanship. But what is the essence of a craftsman's heart? To explain it in the most popular terms, it is to never forget the original intention. In mechanical part processing, no matter what difficulties are encountered, one must remain persistent and focused. The original intention of mechanical part processing, in simple terms, is to maintain a special preference for machinery and to dedicate one's life to the pursuit of one's dream: to study mechanical part processing.
Understanding Honda's development history is very enlightening for comprehending the craftsmanship in mechanical part processing. In 1934, Soichiro Honda founded Toaka Seiki, a company that manufactured piston rings. However, in 1945, an earthquake completely destroyed Toaka Seiki, forcing him to sell all his shares to Toyota and leave the precision mechanical part processing factory he had established. He then started a second venture. In 1947, he repurposed waste generators and installed them on bicycles, which were widely accepted by the market. Finally, in 1948, he established Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
From the outside, Honda's span seems so vast, from automobiles to robots and then to airplanes. There was a time when Honda was almost on the verge of bankruptcy, but it did not stop the development of robots and airplanes. Thanks to Mr. Soichiro Honda's craftsmanship, in 1986, Honda developed ASIMO, which is still the world's most advanced robot to this day; in the same year, Honda began researching small jet planes; on October 29, 2012, the group announced that Honda's small business jet, HondaJet, began mass production. Since then, Soichiro Honda's dreams in the field of mechanical part processing have been realized one after another.
The spirit of craftsmanship in Japanese mechanical part processing allows us to witness the grand feat of dreams taking root and becoming reality. This spirit of craftsmanship has also subtly influenced the details of precision mechanical part processing factories: they invest a lot of money in seemingly useless but actually quite beneficial research (such as how cockroaches move), and many people work together to deliberate and develop a single component...
More importantly, precision mechanical part processing, like its founder, adheres to a simple original intention - mechanical part processing should be something that makes people happy. The development of mechanical part processing technology often fails, but the accumulation in the process is very powerful. What precision mechanical part processing factories consider is how to give back the technology accumulated in research and development to the market. In the future, it will all be intelligent mechanical part processing, and precision mechanical part processing factories will gradually change, but the goal pursued by the craftsman's heart remains the same - to bring more changes to life through mechanical part processing manufacturing.
