Universal, Hitachi Extend High-Speed Placement Collaboration
Universal Instruments (Binghamton, NY) and Hitachi High Technologies (HHT, Schaumburg, IL) have renewed their successful original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement for a further five years. HHT acquired Sanyo High Technologies, Universal's original OEM partner, in 2003. The partnership has enhanced Universal's turret-style high-speed placement (HSP) technology while affording HHT an extensive sales and support network.
Since it was first announced in 1989, the agreement has resulted in more than 1200 HSP platforms sold. Continued success of the partnership and sustained market demand for HSP equipment have allowed the agreement to be renewed several times in the past.
In addition to customers' access to the entire line of 4797-series HSP machines, extending the agreement until 2009 will allow further joint efforts to continue. Such efforts include recent line software development work and may extend in the future to additional joint technical projects, technology transfers and further product sharing.
