Kurtz Ersa Enables Big Board Rework
November 15, 2017 | Kurtz Ersa Corp.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Kurtz Ersa has launched an automated rework platform for large and heavy PCBs. Providing a heatable area of 625 x 625 mm and the capability to handle board thicknesses of up to 10 mm, the HR 600 XL hybrid rework system offers for the first time a professional repair of high-channel components on big boards, as they occur in telecommunications, networks and infrastructure.
The lower IR Matrix Heater consists of 25 heating elements that can be controlled individually and has a total power of 15 kW. In this way, it is possible to obtain an ideal heat distribution on every application during the preheating process.
The highly efficient 800 W hybrid heating head manages the desoldering and soldering of the smallest components to large ball grid arrays measuring up to 60 x 60 mm, in the familiar Ersa quality and reliability. Just like its smaller brother HR 600/2, the HR 600 XL incorporates an automatic and precise component alignment (±0.025 mm). The process control and documentation with the HRSoft 2 user guidance guarantees reproducible repair results.
The HR 600 XL can be used in fully automatic or half-automatic mode to ensure maximum flexibility. It is compatible with the usage of the Ersa Dip&Print station for the preparation of the components with flux or solder paste before soldering.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
