Chad Industries Announces Partnership with AJI of Japan.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Chad Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of automation equipment in the semiconductor and circuit board industries, today announced a partnership with AJI of Japan to be the U.S. integrator of the AJI Micro Assembly platform. "We have had a relationship with AJI for a number of years and followed the development of their Micro Assembly platform. The platform is now ready for production, and Chad Industries is excited to apply our 30 years of automation experience to this platform," said Scott Klimczak, president of Chad Industries. The AJI Micro Assembly machine has been under development for eight years in Japan This is a list of years in Japan. See also the timeline of Japanese history. For only articles about years in Japan that have been written, see . Twenty-first century
"With our machine design finalized See finalization. and a number of successful installations, it was time to bring the Micro Assembly machine to market in the U.S. A key to our success will be to provide local support for the mechanism as well as in-depth application support including tooling and software," said AJ Industries' president, Kunio Yoshida. The basic AJI Micro Assembly platform provides a low-cost solution to true micron micron: see micrometer. One micrometer, which is one millionth of a meter or approximately 1/25,000 of an inch. The tiny elements that make up a transistor on a chip are measured in micrometers and nanometers. See process technology. accuracy in a very small footprint. Chad Industries designs, manufactures and markets wafer handling solutions for the semiconductor industry, mechanical and odd-form component assembly solutions for the electronics industry, liquid handling solutions for the life sciences industry, and other automated handling, assembly and test solutions. CHAD began operations in 1973 and established leadership in the electronics assembly for odd-form component to printed circuit assembly (CHAD IQ(TM) Product Line), and has expanded their solutions expertise to include semiconductor, fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , and life sciences solutions.
