Notice of End of Support for UNIX-41 Series

The UNIX-41R/G series, Japan Unix’s long-standing bestsellers since 2005, along with the upgraded UNIX-41S, will reach end of support in September 2025. To prevent production line shutdowns due to the unavailability of spare parts, we strongly recommend switching to the next-generation UNIX-DF Series.
Why Now Is the Time to Switch
Discontinued Spare Parts = Risk of Line Shutdown

Key components like control boards and motors used in the UNIX-41 Series are being discontinued. Without these, repairs are no longer possible in case of failure—posing a serious threat to production continuity. We recommend switching early to the UNIX-DF Series to ensure long-term operational stability.
Three Key Advancements of UNIX-DF Series

1. Enhanced Heat Control Performance with Advanced Heater
Equipped with our latest heater technology, the DF Series ensures stable thermal profiles—even with large heat-capacity components. It delivers the precision and response needed in automotive, medical, and other demanding fields.

2. Smart Factory Ready: Data & Traceability Integration
Real-time acquisition of temperature, solder volume, and positioning data is now possible. Seamless integration with our Soldering Manager allows full traceability and supports global quality standards including ISO and IATF.

3. Improved Maintainability & Long-Term Repeatability
The DF Series features a redesigned structure that simplifies maintenance and cleaning. An optional auto-calibration system ensures consistent performance—even during extended operation over months or years.
