Kurtz Ersa Is 20 Awards Strong
September 22, 2022 | Kurtz Ersa Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
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.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
