15 years of American/Janpanese high-speed placement co-operation

Universal Instruments has celebrated 15 years of its OEM agreement with Hitachi High Technologies (HHT) to market the 4797 HSP high-speed, turret-style placement machine. Heinz Dommel of UIC said, “We have evolved the system significantly in that time, but the partnership between our two companies has delivered consistent and tangible value to Universal, HHT and our customers”. UIC has distributed over 1500 HSP machines and acted as the catalyst for continuous enhancements to the original platform. These have led directly to the latest high-speed placement machine to use HHT’s technology, the 4797L. Heinz Dommel also commented on the synergy, “This has been one of those rare partnerships where two companies with complementary investments in technology and sales/support infrastructure combine forces to market a product that delivers a consistently outstanding value proposition. It is no surprise that this partnership has been so successful for so long, and will continue to be for many years to come”. Recently, the partnership was extended until 2009. In addition, UIC has strengthened its product portfolio by marketing Hitachi’s GX-H, a four-beam SMD placer, as the Quadris. This allows for solutions that combine turret and gantry technologies in a line.

In 1989, Universal agreed with Sanyo High Technology to distribute the Japanese company’s high-speed placement machines on OEM basis. At that time, this was a remarkable move in this industry, as such close co-operation between an essentially Western company and a Japanese counterpart was distinctly uncommon. But both parties had confidence in the arrangement, as each was quite clear about what it expected to gain and what it felt it was contributing to the partnership. On this basis, the companies have successfully evolved the platform along a path to address demanding production trends. In 2002, Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation acquired Sanyo High Technology. This has further strengthened the agreement, and the acquisition has raised the possibility of further product sharing.
