Diffusion welcome.

Although our company that is usually remodeling a motorcycle, we spend a technique seriously and make a duralumin cutting ballpoint pen.
The name of the ballpoint pen “is MechaSEA”.

We adopted space pen of Fisher company to the refill.
The history of the space pen is old and seems to be 50th anniversary in this year.
It is a pen that has been proven to a great results, which NASA has adopted and used in the universe.
There are many introduction videos on Youtube, but I embed the most obvious things.

I explain the characteristic of this.
● The size is a little smaller than Parker type G2 which is most popular.
But, if you plug in the adapter that comes with the refill it will be compatible with Parker.
This is useful.

● The material of the ball is tungsten carbide. It is cemented carbide.
It is the same material as carbide endmill or carbide mold.
Since it is very hard it is impossible unless it is a diamond or borazon or electric discharge machining in order to process it.

● Compressed nitrogen is enclosed in the behind of the ink via a float separator.
It’s pressure is about 240kPa (0.24 MPa). Generally it is air pressure of the tires of the cars.
By doing this, you can write with weightlessness or upward.

● It uses thixotropic ink. So, the usable temperature range is wide, it is -34 ~ + 121 ℃.
Furthermore, it can write on underwater or glossy side.
Because it does not dry, the safekeeping more than 100 years is possible.

● As for the refill, only this has many kinds.↓
It is a characteristic that there are a lot of colors.

Then,”Faced with the fact that ballpoint pens can not be used with weightlessness, NASA has developed a pen that can withstand a space flight environment by spending a lot of money. In contrast, the Soviet Union used the pencil.”
This famous story seems to be an urban legend.

Fisher company developed it at own expense and seemed to try it in NASA.

Araki F Machine seriously introduced technology and made it.
It’s all made with cutting of the aluminum.
It’s extremely mechanical ballpoint pen, MechaSEA.

Although our company that is usually remodeling a motorcycle, we spend a technique seriously and make a ballpoint pen.
The name of the ballpoint pen “is MechaSEA”.

We chose refills by doing inquiries and estimates.
We decided it at adopting space pen made in Fisher company delivered to NASA.
And we decided to purchase this.

The technology that Fisher company is investing in this refill is amazing.
I would like to explain it next time.

From the beginning I thought that it was difficult to develop refills within our company in a short period of time, to prepare production facilities and make it until manufacture.
So, the pen side was designed to be able to use a G2 refill of a versatile parker type, looking for a supplier of refills.
And fortunately it was decided in Fisher company.

Purchasing the refill of Fisher company means that its wonderful functions, quality and results used in NASA work very well for our ballpoint pen.
In addition, there is a big advantage that purchasing has a retail and it works very advantageously to pass the dawn of business.
Business is really not profitable during the dawn.
It takes absolutely “time” to make sure that loss will not come out after the dawn.
The business fails when not designed to be able to endure there.

If some factory to manufacture a refill of our company original product , the unit price is cheap but the number becomes huge.
Then, payment will be generated in units of 1 million yen by arranging one kind.
So, the initial investment is considerably heavy.
Especially it is heavy against the business size of the dawn period.
If we wanted to change the specification after we were delivered we will need another 1 million yen additional funds.

The refill of the high-quality ballpoint pen is made of metal.
Perhaps only Fisher has many colors in metal refills.
The color is blue, black, red, green, burgundy, purple, brown, turquoise, silver.
There are 9 colors in total.
If we ask factory to manufacture our original product, it will be a great amount of money even if one color is one million yen.
It is 3 million yen in three colors.
If it is 9 colors, it is 9 million yen.
If we make several colors, it becomes a mountain of stock and we can not move.
It was the amount of money appropriate for the business scale of the dawn, and nine colors came to be available right now.

From now on, we would like to carefully build relationships.

And I will explain the work content of “development”.
It is work to decide specifications mainly.
↓ The flow is like this.↓

● Design.
It has to conform to that standard.
If we have to comply with the standards, certification of public institutions or legal protection, please check.
This time was the refill standard, trademarks, patents and designs.
When developing consumer electronics, the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law is troublesome, so you need to read the laws and regulations in detail.
↓
●Design jigs to make a trial product.
We will also consider manufacturing methods at mass production at this point.
↓
●Make jigs and a trial product.
The thing which wants to do outsourcing sends a drawing and specifications and arranges it.
↓
● If we can make trial product, check the use feeling and design and safety.
Temporarily determine the specification here.
↓
●Durability test. Assume the use situation, we will do it in various ways.
Every time a major manufacturer causes trouble in the past, items are added.
So, durability of a human who carries out the durability test is also required, it is harsh with many items.

●Completion
