Kurtz Ersa Inc., a leading supplier of electronics production equipment, announced that it was awarded a 2022 Mexico Technology Award in the category of Repair and Rework for its HR 550 XL Hybrid Rework System. The award was announced during a ceremony that took place Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022 during SMTA Guadalajara in Mexico. With the 2022 Mexico Technology Award, Ersa adds its 20th award to its repertoire.
The hybrid rework system is for all users who place the highest demands on precision and safety when reworking large assemblies. The HR 550 XL features a 1,800 W high-performance hybrid heating element that can be used to desolder and solder SMT components up to the size of 70 x 70 mm. The 6,400 W infrared bottom heater with eight zones ensures homogeneous heating of the entire assembly.
Non-contact and contacting temperature measurement on the component as well as optimized process control guarantee perfect soldering and desoldering processes. Component removal and component placement are carried out via a vacuum pipette that is integrated in the heating head.
The Mexico Technology Awards acknowledge the latest innovations available in Mexico produced by OEM manufacturing equipment and materials suppliers during the last 12 months.

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.
