Yamaichi Uses Resistance Welding Technology to Improve Contacts


Munich, Germany — Yamaichi Electronics is using the relatively new technology of resistance welding in its Frankfurt (Oder) plant to implement perfect contacts with the lowest possible contact resistance for customers with special require- ments. This technology is used in the company’s hermetically sealed photo- voltaic junction boxes for solar pan- els, among other places. As an innovative provider of


technical solutions for electrical con- nections, the company’s products and machining processes must always represent cutting-edge state-of-the- art technology. This permits fast, flexible response to customer needs. The resistance welding process is a relatively new technology, but


Spectra-Physics Santa Clara, CA — Spectra-Physics®, a Newport Corporation brand, has introduced two new industrial Q- switched lasers for 24/7 microelec- tronics manufacturing applications. The Pulseo® 355-Turbo™ provides advanced ultraviolet (UV) perform- ance at very high repetition rates (up to 500kHz), making it especially suit- able for high-speed processing of semiconductors, touch screens, high density interconnects, and other

microelectronics. The Explorer® 1064-3 delivers high infrared (IR) peak power, excellent beam quality and brightness in a robust, compact package for memory repair and micromachining


applications.


According to the company, the Pulseo 355-Turbo has higher UV power and half the noise of competing lasers, while the Explorer 1064-3 is a versa- tile IR laser with state-of-the-art per- formance in a rugged, tiny package. The Pulseo 355-Turbo provides


>8W 355nm output power with <8 percent pulse-to-pulse stability at 300kHz repetition rate. Based on the reliable and stable Explorer plat- form, the Explorer 1064-3 offers short <12ns pulse widths and near diffraction-limited beam quality in a robust package that can be used on moving gantries. Both lasers are designed and


manufactured to meet the highest industrial laser quality, perform- ance, and reliability standards for


demanding 24/7 applications. Contact: Spectra-Physics, 3635

Resistance-welded metals.


one that is ever more fre- quently used. It permits con- tacting to be made without additional material such as solder or contacts — thus reducing contact resistance and preventing corrosion. Fully automated processing of large lot sizes. Wires are cut fully auto-


matically, their insulation stripped and inserted into the compacting unit. Large lots can be produced fully automat-


ically with no problems. A manual compactor that can be


used flexibly also permits the fabri- cation of customer-specific small lots at very low cost in terms of time and investment. Cut and stripped wires


are fed manually in this process. Contact: Yamaichi Electronics
