Amada Miyachi America, a subsidiary of Amada Miyachi Co., Ltd, is a worldwide designer and manufacturer of equipment and systems for resistance welding, laser welding, laser marking, laser cutting, and hot bar reflow soldering and bonding.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Established in 1948, Miyachi America Corporation is headquartered in Monrovia, California, US. The company’s equipment is used in numerous industries, chief among which are aerospace, automotive, batteries, electronic components, general electronics assembly, and medical devices.

Miyachi America Corporation has 185 employees, with 11 sales and manufacturing offices serving about 11,000 customers worldwide. More than 80,000 items are manufactured annually. The company is certified to ISO 9001, China Compulsory Certificate (CCC), European Conformity (CE), and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) quality certifications.

Amada Miyachi Co., Ltd.

Amada Miyachi America's parent company, Amada Miyachi Co., Ltd. (AMY), was founded in 1972 to manufacture and market semiconductor-related measuring instruments and welding control equipment in response to the demand for quality control in the automobile, television, and electronics industries. The company incorporated microprocessors and other electronic devices into its resistance welders to enable high quality precision joining and monitoring and analysis. Its Weld Checkers™ are used worldwide for weld monitoring.[7]

In 1984, the company developed a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser welder that allowed for more precise and micro welding, and this product line became a central component of the company’s business, along with resistance welding. In recent years, it has advanced into laser marking, with the development of small and powerful Nd:YAG and neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (YVO4) laser markers.

AMY has more than 600 employees (consolidated), 10 sales offices and 2 factories in Japan, 8 subsidiary companies (Miyachi America Corporation (MAC), Miyachi Europe Corporation GmbH, Miyachi Korea Corporation, Miyachi China Corporation, Miyachi Thailand Corporation, Miyachi India PVT, Ltd., Miyachi Taiwan Corporation, Miyachi Vietnam Co., and Ltd., Miyachi Brazil Ltda) and 4 overseas factories (located in China, USA, Germany, and Thailand). Annual revenue is ¥20 billion.

A European sister organization, Miyachi Europe Corporation, has 138 Employees, with €34 million annual revenue and manufacturing facilities located in Germany and The Netherlands.

Products

Amada Miyachi America specializes in the design and manufacture of welding, marking, cutting and bonding equipment and automated systems. Major products sold include:

  • Standard and customized laser and resistance systems – Application qualification and testing, system specification, assembly, system verification, and installation and training. Included are gloveboxes and dryboxes, tooling, motion, optics, software, monitoring.
  • Laser marking equipment – Fiber laser markers, 1064 nm and 532 nm, Nd:YVO4 laser markers, CO2 laser markers, semi-automated workstations, custom tooling, for OEM or integration, accessories and consumables.
  • Laser welding equipment – Nd:YAG and fiber laser welders, pulsed and continuous wave, automated and semi-automated workstations, fiber optic cables, custom tooling, accessories and consumables.
  • Laser cutting –Systems with up to 5 axes of coordinated motion, proprietary position-based firing laser control, for stainless steel, copper, silver, titanium, platinum iridium, and plastics.
  • Resistance welding – Power supplies (linear DC, high and mid frequency inverters, capacitive discharge, AC weld controls), weld monitors and checkers, displacement monitors, weld heads (manual and air actuated, servo-motor controlled, electromagnetic), accessories and consumables.
  • Heat seal bonding – Reflow and heat seal power supplies, automated and semi-automated workstations, FPD repair stations, thermodes, accessories and consumables for connecting flexible circuits and PC boards or LCD screens.

Applications

Amada Miyachi America currently offers seven different technologies, which the company combines together to create end-to-end assembly joining solutions to facilitate reliable and repeatable welding. A few of the key application areas include:

  • Medical devices – laser welding, laser marking, and laser cutting technologies for welding, marking, sealing and cutting state-of-the-art medical devices made of both plastic and metal, including cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, guidewires, catheters, cannulae, hearing aids, brachyseeds, orthodontic appliances, prosthetics, and surgical tools. The company’s laser welding and resistance welding equipment and atmospheric enclosures were used in the production of a cochlear implant shown in this   video.
  • Aerospace – welding of batteries, sensors, displays, and jet engine honeycomb manufacture and repair.
  • Automotive – direct part marking with text, graphics, bar codes and data matrix codes; laser welding, laser marking and engraving, resistance welding, and hot bar reflow soldering of sensors, switches, dashboard electronics, lighting components, and brake shoes.
  • Electronic components – resistance and laser welding of hard drive read/write armatures, hard disk assemblies, electrical connectors, lead frame assemblies, relay terminal connections, and batteries.
