Mugen parts are hand built?

 

There are, I recall from our visit, two robots that do SOME of the welding. Uno-san explained to us how they work and they are extremely complex devices to program. So they do the simpler welds, like those around the mufflers and other less complicated welding process.

The more complex welds are all done by hand. They pipes, for example, are bent with a mandrel-style bending machine, a process that is done manually.

Check out these links for more info on the company itself...

good thread, I always wondered, esp since I hear a lot of 'Mew-Jen's and even U's pronounced as a German umlaut, weird.

also, just for grins, make sure you check out www.engrish.com =D great stuff!

 

Thanks everyone for all the replies. I feel more "worldly" now.

 

Interesting thread. Greg - thanks for the "tour".
