How
many robots are used to make one car?
|
 |
 |
| At
the Mizushima Plant for example, about
1,600 robots are used. |

This is the assembly line. A man is mounting the
door that was brought to him by a robot. Mounting
the door quickly is one of hard jobs. |
This is the casting shop, where molds for engines
and other parts are made. The shiny red substance
is molten iron. When it hardens, it becomes an engine
or other parts. |
This is a part of the inspection line. People check
the cars to make sure the parts are properly installed
and that they are not scratched. |
The car body is painted here. Different cars can
be painted with different colors on the same line. |
This is the engine assembly line. People install the small parts. |
Since many people work at the plant, there is a
sports ground where they can enjoy playing their
favorite sports. There is also a hospital and a
cafeteria. |
