Advanced Reflow, Selective Solder and Rework Systems from Ersa at APEX
January 24, 2018 | ErsaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Kurtz Ersa North America today announced plans to exhibit in Booth #1337 at the 2018 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place February 27 - March 1, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center in Califronia. The Ersa team will highlight a lineup of advanced reflow, selective solder and rework equipment, including its VERSAPRINT 2 Ultra stencil printer, VERSAFLEX-Ultra selective solder module and IR/PL 650 XL rework system.
The VERSAPRINT 2 Ultra is the first stencil printer worldwide with fully integrated 100 percent 3D SPI. Advantages vs. 3D SPI standalone systems include:
- 3D SPI for the inspection of complex PCBs directly after the printing process
- VERSAPRINT stencil inspection detects errors before they appear
- Zero reference measurement of the unprinted PCB can be performed before every print
- Integrated closed-loop function for print offset compensation
- One software platform for print inspection – one consistent operator concept
- Maintenance and service for only one machine
- One contact for both processes
- Less space required on the shop floor
The VERSAFLEX-Ultra selective solder module offers unlimited flexibility, productivity and uncompromising quality – two solder pots, either y- and x-variable or z-variable, equipped with different solder and different solder nozzles, can work in parallel.
With its revolutionary flexibility, the soldering pots move freely in x-, y- and z-direction. Each soldering pot is completely independent and has no y- or x-dependencies to the other one. An anti-collision software ensures the free movement of the servo-driven axis system of the soldering pots.
The IR/PL 650 XL is Ersa‘s flagship machine for extra large printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCBs up to 20 x 24" or 500 x 625 mm can now be safely and rapidly reworked using one of the industry's largest and most powerful bottom-side heaters – an 8,000 W medium wavelength IR heater measuring 500 x 625 mm.

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.
