2018 Mitsubishi Plant: Pajero and Delica D:5 Factory tour
Pajero & Delica D: Factory in which 5 is born Mitsubishi real SUV sacred place "Pajero manufacturing"
Sakabe-gawa, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture Japan
Mitsubishi's authentic SUV such as Pajero and Delica D: 5 full of usability and driving ability to stimulate instinct and overwhelming running performance. The possibility of being hidden in both cars becomes a reassuring buddy that the owner can explore "one's own way" one step ahead. This time, in a factory that is the birthplace of both cars, in Sakabe-gawa, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture, in order to know what kind of place such two aura filled with such special aura and full of reliability are born I visited Pajero Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Actually this Pajero manufacturing, a venerable factory with a history of more than 70 years in the field of vehicle manufacture continuing from the former company. It is also a professional group in the production of Mitsubishi Pajero as the company name "Pajero manufacturing" shows. For over 30 years since the debut of the original Pajero, it has been accumulating over 2.5 million units, and has been consistently carrying over the production of Pajero.
These common terms with Pajero in the world can be said to be the source of toughness and reliability of Delica D: 5. Let's see the factory where Pajero and Delica D: 5 are born.

00:05 Press process
Pajero and Delica D: 5 starting point of a strong body, that is the press process. Body panels are made by pressing metal flat plates (steel plates) with dedicated concave and convex dies adapted to the shape of various parts of the body.

02:50 Welding process
Next, large and small panels processed in the pressing process come next to the body welding process. It is a place where the body is assembled three-dimensionally while connecting the metal body panels made by the pressing process by electric welding.
The welding process is an important part not only to shape the body but also to ensure body strength as designed. In addition to the latest computer-controlled welding robot, precise welding work is carried out to fine points together with human hand work.
By the way, at the main line of Delica D: 5, the robot performs 4 stages and the welding by human's hands 3 steps, totaling 7 steps of welding. There are 21 welding robots installed (62 in all strokes), and the number of welding spots per body reaches 3910 places.

06:28 Painting process
Waiting for the body that has finished the welding process is a painting process to dress a glossy body color. Even if it says painting in one mouth it is not just painting the metal body. It is like a girl 's make - up that goes out for the first date.
The coating process is broadly divided into "undercoating", "middle coating" and "top coating". For undercoating, careful washing to remove oils and dirt, special surface treatment to improve paint dripping, rust prevention treatment to prevent the generation of rust, and fine preparation are carried out. "Sealing" process to prevent invasion of water into the interior of the car, including rain leakage, etc., and finally "intermediate coat" and "top coat" are applied, which is the coloring. When the final drying of the paint finishes, inspectors are also waiting for careful painted surfaces.
For the future partner to spend together, Delica D: 5 and the body of Pajero thus color one by one carefully one by one.

09:49 Assembly process
The moment of birth is approaching. It's an assembly process that can be said as a highlight. According to the order Pajero and Delica D: 5 which vary in specifications of grades and equipment are flowing one after another one after another. Human manual work is indispensable in this complicated and delicate process. It is said that more than 99% of the assembling process of Pajero manufacturing requires a human hand. It seems that the number of employees involved is larger than any other process. The body that finished the painting process successfully first encounters the early stage, chassis parts such as engines, transmissions, and footrests. These parts, including the engine, are assembled at a separate factory that manufactures powertrain of Mitsubishi Motors and are brought to Pajero manufacturing. They are assembled as a unit in the assembly line of Pajero production and made to dock with the body. Sheets, lights, interior decorations, various wiring, doors and tires are assembled one after another. By the time we start this assembly process, which takes an average of about 7 hours, Pajero and Delica D: 5 will finally come together to be able to run.
