THE DUO PRODUCTION PROCESS
1. Production Of The Master: Mr Adachi avoids use of computers for the initial body master; he carves themaster froma block of ABS. The advantage is that it combines strength and rigid properties, as well as the rubbery toughness and specific gravity of the actual product.
2. Production Of The Action Sample: The ABS carving is digitally scanned and a duplicate is created through machine cutting. The ballast of exactmeasures is inserted and weighed and tested for imparting of action to the lure.
3. Carved Electrode Manufacturing: Based on the action sample, outline data is measured to cut out a pillar- shaped, pure-copper electrode. The initial shape is formed by belt sander and the electrode is refined with a precision drill.
4. Finalising The Carved Electrode: The finalised carved electrode is contoured to the exact preferred profile, the preciseness of whichmachine cutting through CG data cannot duplicate.
5. Production Of The Inverted Data: The finalised electrode is precision scanned to 1/1000 3D tolerances,whereas 1/100 tolerance is the industry standard.
6.Machine Cutting Of The Opposite Side: Inversion scanning is conducted to produce the opposite side of the body profile. Final brushing and softening of the surface is done by hand.
7. Rib Processing: The interior volume of the cavity is produced and the fixed interior space is directly carved out to create the planned rails and space for ballast.
8. Obtaining The First Injection Body Sample: The first injection bodies are created and tested for integrity and harbouring components. Tolerancesmust be exact for ballast, hook positioning and lip angle. Once the product passes precise testing, production is commenced.
