Corrugated Steam Locomotive

Corrugated Steam Locomotive which I wrote about before finally arrived!
I would like to show you what the assembling was like.


Putting the front face on the base.
It weighs much more than you might be thinking.

Besides, it needs to be set in the exact position .

After jointing disk-shaped parts with beams over and over again..

The silhouette becomes clearer.

Then we put up the driver’s compartment.

While they are working on the main structure, others are doing delicate hand works.

What are they making?

They’re “corrugated bolts”.

We had kids help us equip those bolts and finish up the details.

In addition to bolts,

Plaques,

Chain,




Everything is made from corrugated sheets.





It even has an ISOWA name plate.

After two days of work, it unveiled its full picture.

From another angle,

Pictures cannot express enough its overwhelming presence.


We are having more than 500 people over for a family event this weekend.


I’m sure it’s going to be a great event with the locomotive.

Open House 2017

 

We had “Open House 2017” for two days at the end of last month.

More than 200 customers came from all over Japan and East Asia.

A lot of young people of ours came under the spotlight this year.



Presenter was Ms. H who just started working this April.

　　　　　

Technical presentation on our latest corrugator production control system “iEM2”.

She was the first and only female engineer at ISOWA when she joined us 10 years ago.

 

Ever since, she has been engaged in the development of production control system as a pioneer of female engineer.

 

 

 

Technical presentation on our flagship printer "Ibis" featuring the latest technology that makes it possible to feed two sheets for each cylinder revolution and to double your productivity.

 

He has only been working here for one and half years, and yet, has played a great role in making this new feature come true.

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s our “Doublebacker” team.

 

 

The freshman on the right who did a presentation on how cost-effective our machine is and his mentor in his early 30’s on the left.

 

He, in his early 30's as well, has been working on our new singlefacer “CF60” which allows you to change roll cassettes very quickly without any human intervention.

 

 

 

Let me introduce some of the feedbacks I got from the customers.



 “I was impressed with the atmosphere in which you’re all working vigorously.”

 “The energy that your young generation has is just overwhelming.”

 

 “You trust young people with such challenging jobs, and they get motivated and meet your expectation.  I see a virtuous circle.”

 “It’s amazing how the whole company is working towards the same direction.”

 

Thanks to those who came all the way.



We hope to see a lot more customers from abroad at the next Open House!
