Miyachi Unitek spans the globe to serve your microjoining needs: controls, heads, weld monitors and accessories, and both fiber and pulsed Nd:YAG laser welders and markers. Laser Welding and Marking: a broad range of fiber and pulsed Nd:YAG lasers for welding and marking with multiple output beams for OEMs or as turnkey systems with multi-axis CNC motion hardware. The company also designs, builds and supports both standard and custom workstation systems with CDRH Class I enclosures, multi-axis motion control, vibration isolation, inert gas glovebox systems, CCTV vision for inspection and vision-assisted motion, laser control software, and a wide range of standard laser welding beam delivery components and accessories. Fine Spot Resistance Welding: resistance welding power supplies and heads for precision metals joining. Weld quality monitors and checkers. Typical applications include parts for automotive electronics, sensors, medical devices, batteries and battery packs, aircraft parts and electronics components. Large Scale Resistance Welding: spot welding and process monitoring equipment for applications ranging from sheet metal to component parts manufacturing. Reflow Soldering: power supplies, heads, and thermodes for hot-bar reflow soldering. Applications include LCD attachment such as that used in manufacturing displays for cell phones, laptop computers, and automotive applications. Hermetic Seam Welding and Projection Welding: equipment and systems for the hermetic sealing of semiconductor and small electronic devices. The company designs, manufactures, sells, and supports a broad range of welding and marking systems and atmospheric enclosures for customers in the telecommunications, aerospace, optoelectronic, medical, automotive and defense industries. Miyachi Europe Corporation Miyachi Unitek’s sister company, Miyachi Europe Corporation (MEC - based in The Netherlands), manufactures and distributes systems and tools for laser welding, resistance welding, selective soldering, heat seal bonding and fluid dispensing for the electronics assembly industry. Via their Application Development Center, MEC assists customers in the development of reliable connections, improving product quality, reliability, and manufacturing cost.

The company was quick to incorporate microprocessors and other electronic devices into its resistance welders to enable high quality precision joining and the monitoring and analysis of that process. Its weld checkers quickly became the worldwide standard for weld monitoring. In 1984, MHC developed an Nd:YAG laser welder that allowed for more precise and micro welding, and this line has become one of the company's main business pillars along with resistance welding. In recent years, it has advanced into the laser marking arena with its Nd:YAG and Nd:YV04 laser markers being among the smallest and most powerful in the world. In addition to its subsidiaries in the US and Europe, the company has sales and manufacturing facilities in China, Korea, and Thailand. MHC is publicly listed on the Tokyo stock exchange.
