November 8, 2023 | Seika Machinery, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, is pleased to announce the introduction of two cutting-edge products, the Malcom Unitech UC-250M-CV PCB cleaner and the Sayaka CT34XJ router. These innovations bring unprecedented efficiency and precision to electronics assembly.
The new UC-250M-CV PCB cleaner is a breakthrough in PCB cleaning technology, offering a three-stage cleaning process that ensures the utmost cleanliness of circuit boards. This innovative system comprises a vacuum brush, a sticky roller, and an ionized air knife, working in harmony to eliminate any remaining dust or debris from the PCB's surface. The result is pristine PCBs that meet the highest quality and reliability standards, a crucial factor in the electronics manufacturing industry.
In a video presentation available on Seika Machinery's official website here, the effectiveness and efficiency of the UC-250M-CV PCB cleaner become apparent. This cutting-edge solution is tailored to meet the stringent requirements of modern electronics manufacturing, ensuring that cleanliness and precision are never compromised.
Max Bernard, a representative from Seika Machinery, also introduced the Sayaka CT34XJ router in the video. This advanced router offers a host of features that significantly enhance the PCB routing process. The Sayaka CT34XJ can function both in-line and off-line, providing exceptional flexibility to manufacturers. It is equipped with an interface for robot integration, a slide table for rapid loading and unloading of PCBs, and easy programming facilitated by a color CCD camera.
Key features of the Sayaka CT34XJ router include:
- Broken/slip bit detection
- Extended bit life with automatic bit position control
- Repeatability within ±0.01mm and minimal maintenance requirements
- Automatic QR code reading and program uploading
- Automatic fiducial marks reading
- Optional automatic router bit changer

Target Condition: Are Autorouters Friend or Foe?
07/01/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionFor PCB designers, just hearing the word “autorouters” can trigger everything from eye rolls to heated debate. We all have stories—some painful, some comical—of boards gone sideways at the hands of an overzealous routing algorithm. But these tools aren’t going away, and frankly, they shouldn’t. Used wisely, they can save some project teams hours or even days. Used blindly, they can cost weeks. So, where do autorouting tools stand today, and is interactive routing the smarter path forward?
Zuken Autorouters Embrace Collaborative AI
06/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineMaybe you’ve never liked autorouters; if so, you’re not alone. As Andy Buja, Zuken’s technical account manager for PCB Solutions, admits, autorouters are not perfect. But today’s autorouters allow designers a greater level of control than ever before, especially routers that incorporate collaborative AI.
The Shaughnessy Report: Planning Your Best Route
06/10/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportDesigners don’t like autorouters, period. In my 26 years of covering PCB design and EDA tools, I’ve met about 25 designers who admit to using autorouters regularly. Two of these, Barry Olney and Stephen Chavez, have articles in this issue. If experts like these use routers, why haven’t you tried one?
American Made Advocacy: Reshoring—About Trust, Not Just Geography
03/25/2025 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyIn today’s chaotic political environment, you might have missed the fact that Congress allocated nearly $3 billion to rip out and replace key components in America’s telecommunications networks. The funding is to remove equipment from networks nationwide because of cyberattacks on internet routers and cellular networks enabled by a Chinese company that makes more than half of the routers sold in the U.S. We know from prior experience and similar transgressions that we cannot trust that Chinese components aren’t being used for nefarious purposes.
