Nakashimada's header formers, recognized for their precision, are widely used in the production of critical safety components such as those found in watches, computers, mobile phones, automobiles, and airplanes, which were once considered difficult to headerize.
It is thanks to Nakashimada's innovative product development technology that this has been achieved.
In new product development, the ability to incorporate customer needs during the drawing process is crucial. It involves reflecting on how the product will be used, as well as the situation and environment, while designing.
For example, the basic quality requirements demanded for screws used in automobiles are reliable fastening and anti-vibration properties. In computers and mobile phones, further miniaturization is required. In the aerospace industry, there is a material change from stainless steel to titanium...
The equipment used to manufacture such items (header and parts formers) has also evolved. Nakashimada has responded to various special requirements in the past. Its greatest strength lies in understanding the characteristics of each industry by being involved in every industry and having extensive experience in mold design and development.

At Nakashimada, we continuously acquire new technologies while also perpetuating traditional skills passed down through generations. For instance, a crucial pre-assembly task is the meticulous "kisage" process, which involves carefully refining sliding surfaces. By performing this task diligently by hand, we significantly enhance precision and durability, earning recognition and praise from both domestic and international sources.

In an era where the number of skilled "kisage" technicians is on the decline, Nakashimada stands out by ensuring that not only assembly department staff but also many employees acquire this skill. While we have introduced advanced equipment to enhance machining precision in parts processing, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to manual finishing in the crucial "kisage" process. This dedication stems from the belief that, despite the advancement of automation, this aspect remains indispensable – it embodies the essence, the "soul," of manufacturing.

Furthermore, Nakashimada staff have cultivated skills that sharpen the senses, which cannot be achieved through manuals alone. For instance, when operating a machine under development, they can detect irregularities by simply listening to the sound it produces and sensing any anomalies. Leveraging their senses and experience, they approach manufacturing with a holistic perspective. By integrating traditional and modern techniques, they devise the best possible methods. This is the essence of Nakashimada's work.
