Christopher Associates and Japan Unix Introduce Fluxless Ultrasonic Soldering Robot

February 2010 - Christopher Associates announces the release of the Unisonik 414R fluxless ultrasonic soldering robot from Japan Unix, the world leading robotic soldering system manufacturer. Christopher Associates introduced the system at the Photon International show for photovoltaic manufacturing, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and received an excellent response.

“Soldering materials such as glass, silicon, aluminum, and molybdenum using conventional technologies is virtually impossible,” said John Preston of Japan Unix. “Now, with the Unisonik 414R, we have a solution applicable in electronics, photovoltaic manufacturing, and a wide range of other industrial applications.”

Martin Gershenson, Christopher’s Director of Business Development, noted that “Customers would see the results at our booth and come back the next day with live samples. They were so excited. Several customers brought back senior engineering and corporate management to see for themselves. We were a bit taken aback, but the Unisonik did its job every time.”

The Unisonik technology is available in a range of robotic platforms, as well as in a manual, benchtop unit. For further information, contact Christopher Associates at 714-979-7500 or visit http://www.christopherweb.com.
