（美國當地2010年7月27日） - Christopher協會宣布，加州地區舊金山灣的薄膜光伏制造公司最近采用了日本的Unix Unisonik焊接系統滿足其大型電池板板焊接的需要。

公司調查了市場上光伏焊接帶，并采用幾種不同的方法進行測試，日本的 Unisonik是因為它的易用性，高彈性和擁有低成本。

該Unisonik系統，完全由日本開發，使用熱振動專利組合，使以前難以焊接基板順利焊接。不銹鋼，鋁，涂層或無涂層的玻璃，和過去許多都難以完成的焊接，現在由于這一先進系統的標準流程變得迎刃而解了。

該Unisonik-M使用60 kHz的超聲波去除氧化，延展基體金屬，還會減少焊點空洞。 該Unisonik-M系統主要應用在小型應用程序或實驗室中人工來操作，Unisonik-F系統是一個完全自動化的機器人設備在生產環境中使用的焊接系統。
Unix非常適合于焊接困難的基板，在光伏和其他多個領域都有很好的應用。

July 27, 2010) -- Christopher Associates announced that a San Francisco Bay, CA area thin film photovoltaic manufacturing company recently adopted the Japan Unix Unisonik soldering system for its large panel soldering needs.

Several different methods of attaching PV ribbon were investigated, and the Unisonik was selected for its ease of use, flexibility and low cost of ownership.

The Unisonik system, developed exclusively by Japan Unix, uses a proprietary combination of heat and vibration to allow soldering to previously difficult substrates. Stainless steel, aluminum, coated or uncoated glass, and many other substrates that were difficult to work with in the past now are standard processes due to this advanced system.

The Unisonik-M uses ultrasonic waves of 60 kHz to remove oxidation, diffuse the metal into the substrate and reduce voids in the solder joints. The Unisonik-M system is a manual system for small applications or lab work, and the Unisonik-F system is a fully automated robotic soldering system for use in production environments.

Uniquely suited for soldering to difficult substrates, the Unisonik has shown excellent results in multiple areas outside the Photovoltaic manufacturing process as well.
