The story of the processing site and the "partner."

In cutting processing, there are times when jigs are made before creating a product. Jigs are not delivered to customers, nor do they appear on the drawings. Nevertheless, they are an indispensable presence in the processing site. We first combine existing jigs and off-the-shelf products, change their orientations, and devise processing methods while envisioning the final form. When we can process without creating a dedicated jig, it feels like we have been particularly resourceful. In contract processing, we often work based on customer drawings, so there are not many opportunities to design from scratch. One of the few exceptions is dedicated jigs. It is a moment when the processing shop becomes a designer, as we consider how to secure the jig for precision and how to process it to reach completion. A good jig does not confuse the next user. Its orientation and fixing position are intuitively understood, it is easy to attach and detach, and it is resistant to damage. By looking at the jig, the steps to complete the product are naturally conveyed. Jigs embody the ingenuity, experience, and thought processes of their creators. While they may not be visible, they are an important presence that continues to support until the product is completed. We dedicate the same amount of time and attention to the jigs that support the products, not just to the products themselves.
