00:00:53,655 --> 00:00:55,758
Narrator: preparing rice in
An electric cooker
4
00:00:55,758 --> 00:00:59,965
Is easier than cooking rice
On the stove.
5
00:00:59,965 --> 00:01:02,896
You throw in the rice and water,
Press a button,
6
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:05,896
And walk away until it's ready.
7
00:01:05,896 --> 00:01:09,344
This machine is designed
To steam rice to perfection.
8
00:01:13,793 --> 00:01:15,965
Rice cookers use indirect heat
9
00:01:15,965 --> 00:01:18,827
To circulate steam
Around rice and water,
10
00:01:18,827 --> 00:01:21,586
From the outer pot
To an inner pot.
11
00:01:21,586 --> 00:01:26,758
This process cooks the rice
Evenly in half an hour.
12
00:01:26,758 --> 00:01:28,724
To cast the outer cooking pot,
13
00:01:28,724 --> 00:01:32,034
Aluminum ingots
Are melted in a furnace.
14
00:01:32,034 --> 00:01:33,655
A robotic arm scoops up
15
00:01:33,655 --> 00:01:35,620
The required amount
Of molten aluminum
16
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:36,965
With a ladle...
17
00:01:39,206 --> 00:01:41,758
...Then pours it
Into the top of the mold.
18
00:01:45,517 --> 00:01:50,448
It takes the metal four minutes
To cool and solidify.
19
00:01:50,448 --> 00:01:53,862
Then technicians extract
The pot from the mold.
20
00:01:57,689 --> 00:01:59,241
To refine its form,
21
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:02,310
The pot is mounted
On a computer-guided lathe.
22
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:06,310
As it spins,
23
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:09,551
Several machines contour
The pot's outside surface
24
00:02:09,551 --> 00:02:11,551
To its final shape.
25
00:02:18,965 --> 00:02:23,758
Next, the pot is loaded onto
An automated drilling machine.
26
00:02:23,758 --> 00:02:27,172
The machine punctures 18 holes
Through the bottom.
27
00:02:32,034 --> 00:02:33,931
The rice cooker's
Heating components
28
00:02:33,931 --> 00:02:36,103
And its painted steel shell
29
00:02:36,103 --> 00:02:39,379
Are attached to the outer pot
Through these holes.
30
00:02:43,241 --> 00:02:47,137
Then the pot is returned
To the computer-guided lathe.
31
00:02:47,137 --> 00:02:49,517
A tool polishes the interior
32
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:52,275
Until the aluminum
Is smooth and bright.
33
00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:59,517
A disk of stainless steel
Is placed in a press.
34
00:02:59,517 --> 00:03:03,586
The press molds the steel
Into the inner cooking pot.
35
00:03:03,586 --> 00:03:07,758
The next press trims off
Any excess metal around the top,
36
00:03:07,758 --> 00:03:10,103
Leaving a clean and even edge.
37
00:03:12,413 --> 00:03:15,931
Another machine curls that edge
To form a rounded lip.
38
00:03:19,448 --> 00:03:23,517
The lip strengthens the pot
And provides a place to grip
39
00:03:23,517 --> 00:03:27,551
When the inner pot
Is placed into the outer pot.
40
00:03:27,551 --> 00:03:32,068
Once polished, the pot
Is placed in another press.
41
00:03:32,068 --> 00:03:35,413
This press stamps
Water-level lines on the side
42
00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:37,482
And a trench on the bottom.
43
00:03:37,482 --> 00:03:42,448
The trench helps the water
Evaporate quickly.
44
00:03:42,448 --> 00:03:46,896
Next, an automated booth paints
The rice cooker's steel shells.
45
00:03:46,896 --> 00:03:48,310
The shells are baked in an oven
46
00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:51,655
For 15 minutes
At 390 degrees fahrenheit
47
00:03:51,655 --> 00:03:54,344
So that the paint can set.
48
00:03:54,344 --> 00:03:56,586
With a pad printer,
The company logo
49
00:03:56,586 --> 00:03:58,896
Is applied to the shell.
50
00:03:58,896 --> 00:04:01,379
Technicians install
Part of the switch mechanism
51
00:04:01,379 --> 00:04:04,620
To the shell.
52
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:07,620
Another technician places
The heating element in a slot
53
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,344
On the bottom of the outer pot,
54
00:04:09,344 --> 00:04:12,000
Securing it with three clips.
55
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,034
They install
Two connection plates
56
00:04:14,034 --> 00:04:19,034
Used to attach
The steel shell --
57
00:04:19,034 --> 00:04:23,896
A porcelain plate
And a magnetic core.
58
00:04:23,896 --> 00:04:26,310
The core controls
The on/off switch
59
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:28,896
Based on the temperature
Inside the cooker.
60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,482
The technician connects
The power cord
61
00:04:37,482 --> 00:04:40,862
And attaches
The thermal-insulation sheet,
62
00:04:40,862 --> 00:04:42,344
Which allows the cooked rice
63
00:04:42,344 --> 00:04:47,931
To maintain a temperature
Of 158 degrees fahrenheit.
64
00:04:47,931 --> 00:04:49,689
This part
Of the switch mechanism
65
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:52,344
Hovers over the magnetic core.
66
00:04:52,344 --> 00:04:56,206
When the cooking temperature
Hits 158 degrees fahrenheit,
67
00:04:56,206 --> 00:04:59,655
The core activates the switch
To turn off the heating element
68
00:04:59,655 --> 00:05:03,517
And start up
The thermal-insulation sheet.
69
00:05:03,517 --> 00:05:07,482
After more switch wiring,
Technicians install the fuse,
70
00:05:07,482 --> 00:05:10,413
Which prevents the cooker
From overheating.
71
00:05:10,413 --> 00:05:13,034
One end is connected
To the heating element,
72
00:05:13,034 --> 00:05:17,275
The other end to the power cord
By the porcelain plate.
73
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:18,586
The painted steel shell
74
00:05:18,586 --> 00:05:21,275
Is attached
To the base of the outer pot.
75
00:05:21,275 --> 00:05:23,620
Once attached,
Each connection plate
76
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:25,482
Is secured with screws,
77
00:05:25,482 --> 00:05:28,448
Then handles are installed.
78
00:05:28,448 --> 00:05:32,379
Finally, every rice cooker
Undergoes a temperature test.
79
00:05:32,379 --> 00:05:34,206
After starting the machine,
80
00:05:34,206 --> 00:05:37,275
The cooking temperature
Is measured with a thermometer.
81
00:05:37,275 --> 00:05:40,896
Once approved, the cooker
Is packaged with a cover
82
00:05:40,896 --> 00:05:44,448
And perforated insert
For steaming other foods.
83
00:05:44,448 --> 00:05:48,482
To use the cooker, you put rice
And water in the inner pot
84
00:05:48,482 --> 00:05:50,551
And water in the outer pot.
85
00:05:50,551 --> 00:05:53,931
In under an hour,
The heating element turns off,
86
00:05:53,931 --> 00:05:57,931
And the insulation sheet
Kicks in to keep your rice warm.
87
00:06:08,551 --> 00:06:10,931
Narrator: one way to keep
Personal valuables secure
88
00:06:10,931 --> 00:06:12,793
And safely out of sight
89
00:06:12,793 --> 00:06:16,344
Is by storing them
In concealment furniture.
90
00:06:16,344 --> 00:06:20,206
This custom-designed home decor
Allows you or your family
91
00:06:20,206 --> 00:06:23,965
An understated place to store
And lock a number of items.
92
00:06:28,241 --> 00:06:32,379
This seemingly ordinary bookcase
Has a few surprises.
93
00:06:32,379 --> 00:06:35,620
Behind it's decorative medallion
Is a hidden release
94
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:38,724
For side pullout compartments.
95
00:06:38,724 --> 00:06:41,655
And inside the lower section
Is a wireless keypad
96
00:06:41,655 --> 00:06:44,965
Which unlocks a drawer.
97
00:06:44,965 --> 00:06:47,206
This company handcrafts
Various items,
98
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:50,241
From dressers
To mirrors to wall art.
99
00:06:50,241 --> 00:06:52,206
Each piece of furniture
Is customized
100
00:06:52,206 --> 00:06:54,000
Based on the customer's wood,
101
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,310
Finish,
And storage configuration.
102
00:06:58,310 --> 00:07:01,103
To create a valance at the top
Of a bookcase,
103
00:07:01,103 --> 00:07:05,517
A planer levels a piece of wood
To its required thickness.
104
00:07:05,517 --> 00:07:09,034
A computer-guided router carves
Designs into the wood
105
00:07:09,034 --> 00:07:11,344
And cuts out the shape
Of the medallion.
106
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,413
Next, the medallion
107
00:07:16,413 --> 00:07:19,620
Is attached to the valance
And release device
108
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:22,931
Through three slots
At the center of the valance.
109
00:07:28,931 --> 00:07:30,379
This is one
Of the side pullouts
110
00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:32,517
After assembly is complete.
111
00:07:32,517 --> 00:07:34,344
Like the valance components,
112
00:07:34,344 --> 00:07:37,551
The router carved
The design on the front panel.
113
00:07:37,551 --> 00:07:39,689
A craftsman uses
An electric sander
114
00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:43,724
On the pullout's side panel
Which has no carving.
115
00:07:43,724 --> 00:07:47,000
All the decorative details
Are sanded by hand.
116
00:07:51,931 --> 00:07:54,965
The craftsman assembles
The second side pullout.
117
00:07:58,517 --> 00:08:00,827
A laser engraves
The company's name and logo
118
00:08:00,827 --> 00:08:03,655
On the inside
Of the side panel.
119
00:08:06,724 --> 00:08:08,482
The craftsman measures and marks
120
00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:11,862
Where the pullout's bottom
And top panels will be placed.
121
00:08:14,724 --> 00:08:16,482
Glue is applied into a groove
122
00:08:16,482 --> 00:08:19,241
Running the length
Of the fluted front panel.
123
00:08:22,137 --> 00:08:25,482
Then the side panel is inserted
Into the groove
124
00:08:25,482 --> 00:08:28,206
And the parts
Are clamped together.
125
00:08:28,206 --> 00:08:30,000
The bottom and top panels
Are glued
126
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,448
At the pre-marked points
And secured.
127
00:08:33,448 --> 00:08:35,586
All the wooden components
Of the bookcase
128
00:08:35,586 --> 00:08:38,896
Are glued to each other.
129
00:08:38,896 --> 00:08:40,517
Three temporary boards
130
00:08:40,517 --> 00:08:42,862
In between
The top and bottom panels
131
00:08:42,862 --> 00:08:48,310
Keep the structure square
While the glue dries.
132
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:51,931
Next, a craftsman assembles
The top of the bookcase,
133
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:57,068
Attaching the base and sides,
Back, top, the valance,
134
00:08:57,068 --> 00:08:58,793
And crown molding.
135
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:06,793
The customer selects the color
Of the finish.
136
00:09:06,793 --> 00:09:08,862
Painted on by hand,
137
00:09:08,862 --> 00:09:12,827
The stain takes
Up to an hour to dry.
138
00:09:12,827 --> 00:09:16,310
A craftsman sprays on a coat
Of vinyl sealer.
139
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:20,034
Once the sealer dries,
The surfaces are sanded
140
00:09:20,034 --> 00:09:23,724
And two coats of fast-drying
Lacquer are applied.
141
00:09:23,724 --> 00:09:27,655
The craftsman sands the wood
Between applications.
142
00:09:27,655 --> 00:09:30,241
Next, the hardware is installed.
143
00:09:30,241 --> 00:09:32,344
A technician attaches
The drawer slides
144
00:09:32,344 --> 00:09:36,517
For each side pullout...
145
00:09:36,517 --> 00:09:39,137
Bolts in the lock
For the hidden release device,
146
00:09:39,137 --> 00:09:42,862
And secures a triangular latch
To the pullout.
147
00:09:42,862 --> 00:09:45,344
Then a long rod is inserted.
148
00:09:45,344 --> 00:09:47,724
This connects the locks
To the release
149
00:09:47,724 --> 00:09:50,862
So when you slide the center
Medallion right or left,
150
00:09:50,862 --> 00:09:53,482
It pushes the rod
Against the pullout lock,
151
00:09:53,482 --> 00:09:55,689
Popping the latch.
152
00:09:55,689 --> 00:09:59,275
The corresponding drawer slides
Are attached to the pullout.
153
00:10:05,241 --> 00:10:08,137
The triangular latch,
Which releases the pullout,
154
00:10:08,137 --> 00:10:12,413
Goes in the top front corner
So that it aligns with the lock.
155
00:10:18,620 --> 00:10:20,620
Once the pullouts are installed,
156
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:25,344
They form the sides of the upper
Section of the bookcase.
157
00:10:25,344 --> 00:10:29,275
These sections are now useable,
Sturdy storage compartments.
158
00:10:35,137 --> 00:10:39,275
The next step is to connect
The rod to the center medallion.
159
00:10:39,275 --> 00:10:41,620
The craftsman bolts
A rectangular piece of metal
160
00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:44,413
To the medallion through
The valance's top slot,
161
00:10:44,413 --> 00:10:46,172
Connecting the medallion
To the valance
162
00:10:46,172 --> 00:10:47,931
Through the other two slots.
163
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:52,793
A large opening on the top
Of the bookcase
164
00:10:52,793 --> 00:10:56,448
Provides access to the device
Should it ever need repair.
165
00:10:59,034 --> 00:11:01,103
Once joined
With the lower section,
166
00:11:01,103 --> 00:11:03,655
The bookcase,
Like this china cabinet,
167
00:11:03,655 --> 00:11:05,793
Is ready for double duty.
168
00:11:17,931 --> 00:11:20,379
Narrator: often associated
With japanese culture,
169
00:11:20,379 --> 00:11:22,793
Traditional origami
Is best known
170
00:11:22,793 --> 00:11:24,896
As the art of paper folding.
171
00:11:24,896 --> 00:11:28,724
It dates back to at least
The 17th century.
172
00:11:28,724 --> 00:11:31,344
Today, marketing companies
Are engineering origami
173
00:11:31,344 --> 00:11:32,931
For promotional use,
174
00:11:32,931 --> 00:11:35,275
Creating materials
With more impact
175
00:11:35,275 --> 00:11:37,103
Than your standard brochure.
176
00:11:39,448 --> 00:11:44,172
Open this invitation, and
An interesting scene unfolds.
177
00:11:44,172 --> 00:11:46,758
Based on strategic
Marketing research,
178
00:11:46,758 --> 00:11:48,758
Nontraditional invitations
179
00:11:48,758 --> 00:11:51,000
And three-dimensional
Paper structures
180
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Can attract more interest.
181
00:11:55,862 --> 00:11:58,517
A specialist
Known as a paper engineer
182
00:11:58,517 --> 00:12:01,827
Replicates an ultrasound machine
In origami.
183
00:12:04,931 --> 00:12:07,620
The paper engineer
Breaks down the design
184
00:12:07,620 --> 00:12:12,793
Into flat parts to be printed
And folded into modular pieces.
185
00:12:12,793 --> 00:12:15,000
Guided by a digital design,
186
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,275
A machine cuts and scores
A thick sheet of paper
187
00:12:18,275 --> 00:12:21,965
In the shape of
The engineered origami parts.
188
00:12:21,965 --> 00:12:25,827
Later, the scored shapes will be
Punched out and assessed.
189
00:12:25,827 --> 00:12:27,344
The design will need tweaking
190
00:12:27,344 --> 00:12:29,689
Before the pieces
Of paper ultrasound
191
00:12:29,689 --> 00:12:32,689
Are ready for mass production.
192
00:12:32,689 --> 00:12:35,275
Next, the designer
Folds the cutouts
193
00:12:35,275 --> 00:12:36,965
And glues them together,
194
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:39,827
Creating the base
Of the ultrasound.
195
00:12:39,827 --> 00:12:42,172
This particular module
Is a test build
196
00:12:42,172 --> 00:12:44,724
To confirm
That it folds correctly
197
00:12:44,724 --> 00:12:48,172
And will fit to the other parts
Of the mini paper replica.
198
00:12:50,827 --> 00:12:53,034
The designer makes
More prototypes
199
00:12:53,034 --> 00:12:56,724
And adjusts
Some of the parameters.
200
00:12:56,724 --> 00:12:58,620
He builds
The undercarriage and wheels
201
00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:00,241
Out of chipboard.
202
00:13:00,241 --> 00:13:04,620
These elements support
The paper modular structure.
203
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:06,793
Each part is labeled
Accordingly.
204
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,724
The designer constructs
The final prototype,
205
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,896
Checking that the seams
Are tight
206
00:13:13,896 --> 00:13:16,586
And that all the parts
Are in perfect alignment.
207
00:13:18,758 --> 00:13:21,241
Once structurally sound,
208
00:13:21,241 --> 00:13:24,379
The designer starts building
The graphic details.
209
00:13:32,379 --> 00:13:35,034
He refers to photos
Of the prototype
210
00:13:35,034 --> 00:13:39,068
And compares them
To the flat screen image.
211
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:43,034
When complete, the artwork
Is printed, producing a proof.
212
00:13:45,172 --> 00:13:49,000
The proof is a test copy
Of the artwork.
213
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,413
The areas to be glued or cut out
Are printed in green.
214
00:13:53,413 --> 00:13:56,103
This is done to indicate
That no ink or coatings
215
00:13:56,103 --> 00:13:58,310
Are needed
During the final printing.
216
00:14:04,965 --> 00:14:06,827
The technician does
An initial check
217
00:14:06,827 --> 00:14:08,965
To confirm
The quality of the print
218
00:14:08,965 --> 00:14:11,724
And that all the art
Has been properly placed.
219
00:14:17,655 --> 00:14:20,310
Then, the designer
And the production supervisor
220
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:22,000
Evaluate the proof.
221
00:14:24,758 --> 00:14:26,310
They confirm that the lines
222
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:30,172
Correspond with those
Of the cutting die
223
00:14:30,172 --> 00:14:33,551
By comparing folded modules
To the flat proof.
224
00:14:36,413 --> 00:14:39,000
This step ensures that
When the artwork is printed
225
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,344
For mass production,
The cutouts will fit.
226
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:50,310
Adjustments are made to any
Problematic areas of the proof.
227
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:52,241
Once the artwork is complete,
228
00:14:52,241 --> 00:14:56,724
The revised artwork is printed
And scored by a digital cutter.
229
00:15:00,551 --> 00:15:04,724
This computerized cutter
Is only used for test purposes.
230
00:15:04,724 --> 00:15:07,103
A cutting die will be used
For mass production
231
00:15:07,103 --> 00:15:08,931
Of the origami parts.
232
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,068
Technicians insert the cutouts
233
00:15:14,068 --> 00:15:16,965
In the corresponding parts
Of the die.
234
00:15:16,965 --> 00:15:19,862
This step confirms
That the lines are correct
235
00:15:19,862 --> 00:15:22,758
And are ready to go to print.
236
00:15:22,758 --> 00:15:24,448
Machines may mass produce
237
00:15:24,448 --> 00:15:27,241
Thousands of printed
And die-cut sheets,
238
00:15:27,241 --> 00:15:28,551
But it's up to the assemblers
239
00:15:28,551 --> 00:15:31,206
To fold and glue
The modules together.
240
00:15:33,241 --> 00:15:36,068
The assembler starts
With a base,
241
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:40,793
Followed by the articulating arm
For the ultrasound screen.
242
00:15:40,793 --> 00:15:43,241
The arm fits into a slot
In the base,
243
00:15:43,241 --> 00:15:47,241
Which can be lifted and lowered.
244
00:15:47,241 --> 00:15:49,482
The assembler attaches
The control panel
245
00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:51,482
To the lower part of the arm.
246
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,931
He installs the folded
Ultrasound screen on the top
247
00:15:57,931 --> 00:16:01,724
And inspects his work.
248
00:16:01,724 --> 00:16:05,206
Weeks of design and planning
Have gone into this moment.
249
00:16:05,206 --> 00:16:08,793
Now assembled, this piece
Of promotional origami
250
00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:12,413
Can be packaged and
Mailed to targeted recipients.
251
00:16:22,827 --> 00:16:25,241
Narrator: hedge shears
Have long steel blades
252
00:16:25,241 --> 00:16:27,206
That hold a sharp edge.
253
00:16:27,206 --> 00:16:30,862
They're essentially
A serious pair of scissors.
254
00:16:30,862 --> 00:16:32,758
Used by a skilled gardener,
255
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:36,551
They can cut a large area
Of vegetation with one stroke.
256
00:16:36,551 --> 00:16:40,862
Needless to say, hedge shears
Can truly change the landscape.
257
00:16:43,965 --> 00:16:48,896
Taming an unruly hedge or garden
Often calls for sheer strength.
258
00:16:48,896 --> 00:16:54,620
That's why, for many gardeners,
Hedge shears are a go-to tool.
259
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:57,724
To make hedge shears,
Technicians cut out the blades
260
00:16:57,724 --> 00:17:00,620
From carbon steel
Using a die cutter.
261
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:06,413
The steel uncoils and travels
Over a roller conveyor,
262
00:17:06,413 --> 00:17:08,103
Sending it to the cutter.
263
00:17:11,344 --> 00:17:16,206
The die cutter stamps out
Multiple blade blanks.
264
00:17:16,206 --> 00:17:22,758
Once the steel advances, the die
Cuts the next batch of blanks,
265
00:17:22,758 --> 00:17:24,172
Cutting a hole in the center
266
00:17:24,172 --> 00:17:26,586
For the assembly
Of the shear blades.
267
00:17:32,172 --> 00:17:34,482
A technician arranges
The blade blanks
268
00:17:34,482 --> 00:17:37,413
On a conveyor
Heading to the oven.
269
00:17:37,413 --> 00:17:41,724
The blanks bake at
1,470 degrees fahrenheit.
270
00:17:41,724 --> 00:17:47,275
This heat treatment is the first
Stage of the hardening process.
271
00:17:47,275 --> 00:17:50,965
Another technician exposes
The cutting edge to the heat.
272
00:17:50,965 --> 00:17:52,862
This makes the edge
A little stronger
273
00:17:52,862 --> 00:17:54,620
Than the rest of the blade.
274
00:17:57,931 --> 00:18:00,275
The technician submerges
The blade in oil
275
00:18:00,275 --> 00:18:02,034
To bring down the temperature,
276
00:18:02,034 --> 00:18:05,758
Which completes
The hardening process.
277
00:18:05,758 --> 00:18:08,448
A grinding stone removes
The dull, gray layer
278
00:18:08,448 --> 00:18:11,068
On both sides of the blade.
279
00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:15,655
This gets rid of scorch marks,
And it brightens the finish.
280
00:18:15,655 --> 00:18:19,034
Then the grinder cleans
And sharpens the blades.
281
00:18:26,586 --> 00:18:28,862
Before the grinding,
The hedge-shear blade
282
00:18:28,862 --> 00:18:30,482
Looked lackluster,
283
00:18:30,482 --> 00:18:32,655
And its performance
Would have been dull.
284
00:18:35,896 --> 00:18:39,586
The grinding has given the blade
A sheen and a cutting edge.
285
00:18:42,517 --> 00:18:45,448
Next, technicians install
A rubber bumper device
286
00:18:45,448 --> 00:18:48,034
On the blade's stem.
287
00:18:48,034 --> 00:18:50,758
The rubber will cushion
The force of the impact created
288
00:18:50,758 --> 00:18:53,517
As the shear blades
Come together.
289
00:18:55,965 --> 00:18:57,896
Another technician
Joins the blades
290
00:18:57,896 --> 00:19:02,034
With a pivot bolt and nut.
291
00:19:02,034 --> 00:19:03,862
This connection
Allows the shears
292
00:19:03,862 --> 00:19:05,793
To swing toward each other.
293
00:19:11,931 --> 00:19:13,896
A team examines the blades
294
00:19:13,896 --> 00:19:15,862
To confirm
They're engaged properly
295
00:19:15,862 --> 00:19:18,793
And operate smoothly.
296
00:19:18,793 --> 00:19:20,931
If needed,
They adjust the interface
297
00:19:20,931 --> 00:19:24,862
By bending back the blades.
298
00:19:24,862 --> 00:19:26,448
This tweaking can be critical
299
00:19:26,448 --> 00:19:28,862
To the functioning
Of the hedge shears.
300
00:19:31,931 --> 00:19:34,344
Then the shears are placed
In a fixture,
301
00:19:34,344 --> 00:19:36,827
And the device
Press-fits telescoping handles
302
00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:38,482
Onto the tangs.
303
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:44,620
An inspector tests
The telescoping action
304
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:50,000
To confirm that the handles
Extend and retract effectively.
305
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,551
Other technicians slide
Plastic gripper sleeves
306
00:19:52,551 --> 00:19:55,689
Onto the ends of the handles.
307
00:19:55,689 --> 00:19:57,517
It's an initial installation.
308
00:19:57,517 --> 00:19:58,862
The gripper sleeves
309
00:19:58,862 --> 00:20:02,827
Will need to be pushed
Further up the handles.
310
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:04,965
A mechanical pusher
Shoves the grippers
311
00:20:04,965 --> 00:20:07,241
Into their final position.
312
00:20:07,241 --> 00:20:10,793
It's a press fit --
No glue or screws required.
313
00:20:14,896 --> 00:20:16,241
The tips of the hedge shears
314
00:20:16,241 --> 00:20:18,655
Are dipped
In an anti-rust solution
315
00:20:18,655 --> 00:20:20,793
And placed on a rack to dry.
316
00:20:23,551 --> 00:20:25,827
Then a worker rubs
The solution residue
317
00:20:25,827 --> 00:20:27,482
Into the steel.
318
00:20:33,344 --> 00:20:35,551
The shears undergo
Another inspection,
319
00:20:35,551 --> 00:20:40,551
Which checks the interface
Of the blades one last time.
320
00:20:40,551 --> 00:20:43,068
The technician tweaks the angle
Of the blades
321
00:20:43,068 --> 00:20:44,896
And tightens the pivot bolt.
322
00:20:49,827 --> 00:20:51,586
A label is pressed
On the shears,
323
00:20:51,586 --> 00:20:55,206
Providing product information
And safety precautions.
324
00:20:59,551 --> 00:21:02,482
The hedge shears undergo
A final inspection.
325
00:21:02,482 --> 00:21:05,241
Once cleared, they are packed
For shipping.
326
00:21:08,551 --> 00:21:10,137
These hedge shears
Should hold up
327
00:21:10,137 --> 00:21:14,551
To years of trimming,
Cutting, and pruning.
328
00:21:14,551 --> 00:21:19,137
Without them, gardens might look
A lot wilder.
