Partnership to boost sales and support for flexible assembly automation solutions
20 October 2004Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Universal Instruments and Alphasem+ are to co-operate on European sales, production, and application support for the Universal Polaris Assembly Cell, extending support for customers of both companies and allowing Alphasem to deliver flexible solutions for new markets including sensor arrays and microsystems.
Both companies will leverage Alphasem's European infrastructure to develop and build assembly solutions based on the Polaris Assembly Cell. Alphasem has also set up Alphasem Business Unit Microsystems that will address wider opportunities alongside Alphasem's traditional competencies in die attach for advanced semiconductor packaging technologies such as flip-chip.
For Alphasem, Christian Ossmann, business unit manager Microsystems, said, "The Polaris Assembly Cell opens new opportunities for Alphasem and potential customers, by allowing a flexible, automated solution to niche applications. We will be combining the assembly cell with our current product line, and applications expertise, to deliver truly flexible solutions to these challenges. Sharing the production and support infrastructure is an efficient and cost-effective solution for both Alphasem and Universal."
The new production facility will work closely with Universal Instruments' Odd-Form and Final Assembly Division in the USA, which develops and builds the Polaris Assembly Cell platform, to configure custom solutions to meet specific customer requirements.
Universal's Andreas Holtmann, European business development manager - Polaris said, "Universal's odd-form and final assembly activities are expanding, based on this powerful and cost-effective platform. I am very excited about our new partnership with Alphasem, which enhances the development, production and applications engineering support capabilities available to our customers."
