（美国当地2010年7月27日） - Christopher协会宣布，加州地区旧金山湾的薄膜光伏制造公司最近采用了日本的Unix Unisonik焊接系统满足其大型电池板板焊接的需要。
公司调查了市场上光伏焊接带，并采用几种不同的方法进行测试，日本的 Unisonik是因为它的易用性，高弹性和拥有低成本。
该Unisonik系统，完全由日本开发，使用热振动专利组合，使以前难以焊接基板顺利焊接。不锈钢，铝，涂层或无涂层的玻璃，和过去许多都难以完成的焊接，现在由于这一先进系统的标准流程变得迎刃而解了。
该Unisonik-M使用60 kHz的超声波去除氧化，延展基体金属，还会减少焊点空洞。 该Unisonik-M系统主要应用在小型应用程序或实验室中人工来操作，Unisonik-F系统是一个完全自动化的机器人设备在生产环境中使用的焊接系统。
Unix非常适合于焊接困难的基板，在光伏和其他多个领域都有很好的应用。
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.
