How your Toyota Land Cruiser is made? Toyota factory tour in Japan

This is the Toyota body plant in Yoshiwara prefecture of Japan, where the Land Cruiser 300, Land Cruiser Prado and Land Cruiser 70 are produced. Pressing process in the pressing workshop. Parts like roof panels and side panels are stamped on one of the larger presses. In the industry, Toyota's Yoshua plant has implemented highly efficient pressing processes through automation, for example, special small batches can be produced and various adjustments can be

made

for processing. Each step takes just three seconds, applying 1,600 tons of pressure vertically to more than a dozen steel. Types of plates are used per automobile. Cars use different steel plates for different parts.

The properties required for steel plates vary depending on location, for example to protect occupants during a collision. Hard materials are used in the cabin, while easily deformable materials are used in other areas to absorb impact. Steel plates are cut and drilled into part shapes while leftover parts are used for other parts or reused by steel companies. Openings are created where the doors will join. Material removed to create space for the doors is reused as parts inside the truck. Toyota can manufacture several types of vehicles on one production line. This is called mixed model production. The pressed parts are rearranged in the order in which they are used and collected for the next process.

Welding. Toyota uses three main welding methods. Spot welding. This method uses electricity. current to fuse metal parts, this process is used to weld two or more steel plates by applying pressure and heat from an electric current focused on a particular point, most welding and automobile production use this method. Arc welding, this method uses electricity to generate heat to join. steel plates, this welding process uses an electric arc between a metal electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. It is used for areas where spot welding is difficult to perform because it cannot be clamped with electrodes.

Let's introduce a few key points put together various parts to form a car assemble the body external additional welding form a car through a variety of stamped parts external laser welding this welding method is for high speed high precision joining this is a method for joining Steel plates when melted with a laser have excellent joint strength and are used to join steel plates of different thicknesses and materials. Laser welding allows more areas to be joined at higher speeds. We have taken advantage of this feature to introduce even more advanced welding technology. Special robots weld more than 500 additional points to reinforce the body: they fix doors and various parts, the doors, the hood and the trunk lid, among other parts, are fixed to the assembled body, then the sides of the floor and the roof and up to 4,000 points are welded to form the car doors are intentionally shifted when the window glass and other components are attached to the doors and the subsequent assembly process the additional weight lowers the doors back into alignment by inspecting the car button If scratches are found after painting, it is difficult to determine whether the cause was the welding process or the painting process and because of this no immediate countermeasures can be taken, that is why workers actively inspect each process.

Painting a beautiful paint job starts with a wash, even a small amount of residue or oil film can significantly affect the paint. quality that is why the painting process begins with cleaning by taking a rust-resistant paint bath. The rust-resistant paint is applied to the body through electrodeposition coating. Painting by the power of electricity when the positive electrode is placed on the water tank side and the negative electrode on the body side electricity passes through it, which makes the positively charged paint adhere to the carbot . The interlayer is used a white gray or dark gray interlayer depending on the body color, although it is not seen in the final product, this interlayer is hidden. that helps create a beautiful body color for the final product.

The color of the midcoat is determined based on the desired exterior body color with the right combination to help it stand out. Each car is painted one by one with its designated color and finally a clear coat is applied. spray to add shine cartridge replacement is a secret a color cartridge is placed in the tip of the paint robot and replaced after painting each unit improved efficiency through airless coating decreases environmental impact airless coating uses electricity Static instead of air to adhere paint The coating method simultaneously achieves a high paint adhesion rate. Production rules are also secret salts.

Microscopic dust. Air humidity and oil are some of the big enemies of the painting process, which is why there are strict rules just for entering the paint production line. Improves durability and creates a beautiful finish by heating at 150 degrees C for 20 minutes dries the surface and makes it more difficult for workers to carefully check for any imperfections Inspectors rigorously check the paint surface by looking at the reflection and touching it with their hands Thanks to the Land Cruiser assembly line, the engine brakes and other components of the

land

ing gear are installed, followed by the bumpers and tires, then the frame goes to the conveyor where the wedding with the body takes place, thanks, it is carried out.

After the wedding itself, the electrical wiring is installed from the body to the frame and the roof lining, assembling various parts to complete the production. There are a total of sixty thousand parts suppliers involved in the production of vehicles with Toyota nationwide in Japan. . Toyota collaborates with suppliers ranging from design drawings for parts manufacturing facilities to creating production lines where the windshield and rear glass are installed along with the seats. and then the doors are replaced. The foreign doors are removed to create working space and the window glass and other parts are installed into the separate doors on a separate assembly line.

Up here, inspectors use a handheld device to confirm that the correct parts are installed. a vehicle under lighting inspectors look for any scratches or dents on a vehicle visually and by touch confirming foreign accessories and indicators inspecting for oil leaks more than 10,000 vehicles are produced per day at Japan-based Toyota plants, then sent to national dealers and around the world
