This world-class facility has built over 70 different models totaling over 28 million tools, all manufactured for the professional user. Makita's Buford facility produces its industrial tools from carefully selected raw materials and with the most advanced manufacturing equipment in the world. To make certain that Makita's Quality standards are upheld, constant testing is performed during machining and assembly processes, including a final run-test under power before leaving the factory, to ensure optimum performance. From Concept to Completion Over 85 years ago, Makita pledged to design and manufacture the best motors available. Makita believes that the motor is the heart of any power tool and we take great pride in our motor expertise. We spare no expense in producing the most powerful, efficient and best performing motors available for each tool. Raw Materials The first building block in manufacturing durable, efficient motors is the choice of raw materials. Makita selects only the highest quality raw materials for its motor components. * Premium-Grade Steel - used to produce armature shafts and gears, and graded to the highest industry standards * High-Grade Magnetic Copper Wire - 97% Pure Copper for superior current flow and to withstand extreme temperatures * Premium-Grade Magnetic Steel – ensures efficient current flow and higher output of power Armature & Field Core The armature is the first building block in assembling the motor. All Makita armatures are dynamically balanced to twice the industry standard, giving Makita the finest balanced motor armature available to ensure long life with less vibration. The field core is made from the highest quality magnetic steel available and is stamped and laminated into a tight and uniform core. The tight tolerances in the field core deliver the most efficient energy transfer and the most output power. #1 Quality Manufacturing Makita uses the most stringent manufacturing processes and quality control in the industry assuring every tool meets professional standards. These processes include: * 19 total quality checks on the motor alone * Heat treated shafts and gears for extreme durability * Tight tolerances for long lasting, unsurpassed performance * Most rigorous testing to include electrical resistance, surge durability, and mechanical efficiency * 3 minute final run test under power ensures maximum performance The Makita Advantage * Makita has long been recognized for manufacturing the highest quality motors in the industrial power tool industry * Over 85 years experience designing and building high performance motors * Highest quality raw materials in making motor components * Longest lasting and most efficient motors in the power tool industry * Most rigorous testing of all components and finished product * Most reliable power tools in the industry Superior Cordless Technology Makita designs and manufactures innovative cordless tools. Our goal in designing any cordless tool is to allow all the convenience cordless offers without sacrificing the power or efficiency of a corded tool. Years Ahead of the Competition: Makita's advances in motor technology have led to the development of our new two-piece D31 Motor found in the new MFORCE ® Cordless Drill Series. This new motor delivers power, efficiency and serviceability in a more compact size.
