Electronic Components Mounting Systems

In particular, High Speed Chip Mounter was the world's first rotary high-speed mounter. The pioneering product was developed and commercialized by us and has won user acceptance and confidence. The patented Rotary-Type Head Mechanism, part of the Chip Mount System, has become an industry standard after it was adopted by many user systems. Along with vigorous IT-related demand, we have been active deploying our products in both domestic and overseas markets. At present, the ratio of overseas export is also bound to increase.

On the technical front, meanwhile, we are responding to the three basic requirements, high speed, high accuracy, and long-life, as well as system miniaturization, light weight, quietness, and low vibration. Others include long-run production and flexible production as well as efforts to reinforce the service section to minimize idle time. Thus, we are ready to respond to customer's needs from the standpoint of both customer service and system development that excels in total productivity.

Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation's SMT business enjoys sound development in the Chinese market. Now China has become the most important market for Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation.

Maintaining sustained growth over the years, China's SMT market is not only serving as the Factory of the World, but also as one of the largest consumer market and home to local manufacturing facilities.

As the market matures and due to differences in technical and technological strength and management capabilities, marked differences have been observed among enterprises in the same industry. From the customers' perspective, their relatively simple demand in the past for higher productivity has been transformed into a new demand for SMT systems featuring the production of multiple models in appropriate volume and high-density placement, which are exactly what Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation specializes in.

Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation debuted in 1983 the world's first turret head pick-and-place machine TCM-3A, which marked the Company's entry into the SMT market. The Company then developed the world's first direct-drive pick-and-place machine in 1994 and the world's first modular direct-drive pick-and-place machine GXH-1S in 2004. The year 2008 witnesses the inauguration of our state-of-the-art SMT facility for the mass production of GXH-3, by which the company further fortified its position in high-end SMT market.

With a view to achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction, Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation has been making unremitting efforts to expand its customer supporting mechanism before SMT system delivery as well as its customer service system after product delivery. Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation is committed to developing and offering solutions that exceed our customers' expectation.

We are fully convinced that Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation will become an unrivaled leader of the SMT market in the near future.
