Employee Interviews

T / year 2 with the company / machining department

Toyo Precision Corporation has many young employees overall, and it is an environment where it is easy to approach us for advice.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A. For machining, we receive a drawing from the customer and immediately create a program to operate the machine and process it.
In order to use the created program, the next step is to change the machine's tools and set the plate.
Communication with employees is important to ensure a smooth process. In addition, in order to use time effectively, we review programs and tools every day for processing.

Q.What have you gained through your work, or are there any memorable episodes or memories?

A.When I first saw the drawings after joining the company, I had no idea what to make with the plates or how to process them.
However, as I created programs and inspected plates, I gradually came to understand the role of the holes in the plates and the tolerances required for the holes, and now I work while imagining the role of the holes in each plate. I am.
We have also grown to the point where we can respond to mistakes in customers' drawings by creating them while imagining them.

Q. Please give me some advice regarding your work.

A. My first job after joining the company was operating machines.
Toyo Precision has many machines for processing plates, and you will need to learn how to operate them.
It is very important to take good notes during the first month. I think it can be confusing because there are so many things you don't understand, but please learn each one firmly so that you can use it as your weapon.

It is also important to not leave things you don't understand or have doubts about, and to ask questions of your senior colleagues until you are satisfied.
Please rest assured that we will teach you in a very easy to understand manner.

B / year 4 with the company / machining department

Although I have a liberal arts background, I am able to utilize my strengths in my work.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A.I am in charge of a CAD/CAM operator in the machining department. We create machining programs using software.

Q. What is the reason and motivation for choosing this job?

A.I came from a liberal arts background and had little experience in manufacturing, but I realized that the job of carefully reading drawings and repeatedly checking to make sure there were no mistakes in the programs I created was a way to utilize my strengths. I chose this job.

I approach my work with a sense of tension and responsibility, as even the slightest mistake can lead to defects.

Q.What have you gained through your work, or are there any memorable episodes or memories?

A. At first, I found it very difficult to understand the drawings while considering the features and roles of each plate. However, while creating programs for various drawings, I gradually began to understand the purpose of holes and grooves in drawings.

Every shape on the drawing has a role, and it can be difficult to process them accurately without omitting them, but I learn something different every time.

I find it interesting that even a single drawing can be completely different depending on the designer and client.

Also, when I went to JIMTOF (Japan International Machine Tool Fair), I was overwhelmed by the huge number of processing machines and industrial products, but I also found that I was able to interact with many people and see things that we use casually. I was able to realize once again that work is involved.

I also feel that the fact that my work is related to these industrial products, and by extension supporting people's lives, is what motivates me to do this work.

T / year 8 with the company / machining department

This is a workplace where you can balance family life, holidays, and hobbies.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A. We process the mold (plate). I am in charge of the machining process, which mainly involves drilling and digging.
We create machining programs using CAD/CAM, perform machining work using machine operations, and inspect processed products.

Q. What is the reason and motivation for choosing this job?

A. First of all, it was a workplace that was easy to commute to from home, and where I was able to balance my family life, holidays, and hobbies while still being able to work in a rewarding manner.
The work is carried out with very fine precision in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.001 mm (1 micron), and you can touch and experience everything from processing to finish.
I thought I could develop such delicate sensibilities and knowledge through this job. I think that was my main motivation.

Q.What have you gained through your work, or are there any memorable episodes or memories?

A. A sense of responsibility and confidence as a member of society.
I gained a lot of confidence when I learned through exhibitions and other events how the molds made through this work are actually used and how they are needed by society.
You will realize that there are important mechanisms that move society that cannot be seen in everyday life. It gave me confidence and a great sense of responsibility.

Q. Please tell me how to spend the holidays

A.When I have nothing to do, I go shopping or go for a drive.
Also, as a hobby, I work with local friends and community projects to produce music and videos.
It's fun to work alone to create things, and connecting with people in professions you wouldn't normally interact with broadens your perspective on things.
Creative play, which is a little different from work, is a good stimulus and has a positive influence on both work and hobbies.

K / year 7 with the company / machining department

Because I am able to work for a company with my interest in manufacturing, I always gain satisfaction from my work.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A. In order to process the plate with a machine called a machining center, we create a program for processing using software called CAD/CAM, set the plate on the machine, replace the tools used, and after processing, it is processed according to the drawing. We are conducting tests to see if there are any.

Q. What is the reason and motivation for choosing this job?

A. I studied information science at university, but when I thought that it wasn't for me and thought about what I wanted to do, I realized that it was a company that could make things that I was interested in, and that I was not familiar with it in my daily life. I joined the company because I learned that there is a kind of precision machining that is impossible to achieve, and I wanted to try it myself.

Q.Please tell me what you felt after joining the company.

A.When I joined the company, I learned a lot of things that I didn't know, such as that there are various machines and processing methods, and how things that we use on a daily basis are made.
At first, I worked without really understanding what the things I was making were being used for.

As we participate in exhibitions that display plates and the products made using them, and as we work, we learn how the plates we make are used and how the finished products are used in various places around the world. When I learned that things were being used, I became more interested in manufacturing and found my work more rewarding.

Y・8th year with the company/Production Manufacturing Technology Department

All of our employees work with enthusiasm every day. Therefore, it is a workplace where you can make your own time.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A. We mainly perform surface grinding processing, judge the overall surface grinding situation, give work instructions, and maintain surface grinding machines.
Specifically, I work on grinding products, assigning grinding tasks to subordinates, distributing products to surface grinders, checking that the surface grinders are operating normally every day, and responding to problems.

Q. What is the reason and motivation for choosing this job?

A. First of all, I wanted to make things as a job, and when I saw the job of manufacturing plates at my company, I became interested in the very act of manufacturing plates, and thought that this job seemed interesting. I felt like I could continue working for a long time.

Q.What have you gained through your work, or are there any memorable episodes or memories?

A.In my work, it is absolutely necessary to deliver the product to the customer according to the specified content and deadline, so I have to plan what kind of work I will do and how I will allocate work to my subordinates in order to make it on time. I gained the ability to think through my work.

Since I mainly work in manufacturing, I had no idea how customers actually evaluated the products I manufactured, but when my company exhibited at an exhibition, I received feedback from people who were actually in sales. I was told that I should have confidence because I had received very good reviews, so I was happy.

Q. Please tell me how to spend the holidays

A. I try to refresh myself by doing things that I want to do, such as hanging out with people in the company who have the same hobbies, playing bowling, which I like, and going out on weekends to buy food.

Please give a message to those who are thinking of applying.

A. At Toyo Precision, all employees work with a sense of purpose every day, so it is a workplace where you can make time for yourself.

We have a variety of people working in our company, regardless of the arts or sciences, so if you are interested in manufacturing, why not work with us?

M. 25th year with the company/Technical Department

When I first joined the company, I learned the basics of working as a member of society, such as reporting, communicating, and consulting.

Q. Please tell me the content of your work

A. I've been working at the company for about 25 years, mainly in charge of the wire cutting department. During this time, I also worked in other departments.
Currently, I am making use of that experience to create products with higher precision and shorter delivery times by holding meetings and consulting with young department leaders about processing technology.

Q. What is the reason and motivation for choosing this job?

A.It was 25 years ago and I forgot. However, I think the reasons for choosing one may vary from person to person.
I'm sure that if you work hard, you can feel the charm of any job.

Q.What have you gained through your work, or are there any memorable episodes or memories?

A.The first year was a series of mistakes. In the second and third years, the number of mistakes gradually decreased.
I learned the basics of being a member of society by checking things, reporting, communicating, and consulting. Nowadays, I realize that this seemingly simple thing is the most difficult thing to do.

Q. Please tell me how to spend the holidays

A. When I was young, I was passionate about playing. Work is important, but I believe that having a fulfilling life in your private life will have a positive impact on your work as well.
Recently, perhaps because of my age, I have been participating in neighborhood association events and playing ground golf.
