Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

Ersa to Present New Products at SMT/Hybrid/Packaging 2016
March 29, 2016 | ErsaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ersa GmbH, the largest supplier of soldering equipment, is pleased to announce that it will exhibit a wide range of industry leading technologies in Hall 7, Booth 117 at the upcoming SMT/Hybrid/Packaging show, scheduled to take place April 26-28, 2016 at the Messe in Nuremberg, Germany. Additionally, the company will exhibit the VERSAFLOW3/45 with VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE for the first time.
The VERSAFLOW 3/45 is the first in-line selective soldering machine with dual track transport. Highest flexibility and highest throughput can be realised with the smallest possible required space. Already an industry favorite, the 3/45 is now equipped with VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE. The VERSASCAN module recognizes multicodes on printed boards, product carrieres or printed boards that are not fully or wrong assembled. These "bad boards" will be excluded from the processing. This saves resources and cycle time and leads to a clearly increased productivity. The VERSAEYE gives information about the solder joint: good or bad. The VERSAEYE is system optimized for wave and selective solding systems, is compatible with work piece carriers, and makes modular inspection possible: bottom, top or bottom & top. VERSAEYE is also available with up to 9 cameras per module.
Also on display at the show, Ersa’s new VERSAFLOW 4/55: the ideal selective soldering system for large and complex board assemblies in electronic manufacturing. Because of its modular design and depending on the demands additional flux, preheat and solder modules can be integrated. All modules run autonomously through their configured programs. Set-up times and operator interventions are not required, so the system can always operate at the highest level of productivity and process flexibility.
Stop by Ersa’s booth to see the Ersa Hotflow 3/20 VOIDLESS, Ersa presents a process efficient solution to minimize the occurrence of voids, which is characterized by its high throughput in inline operation, short process times and low operating costs. The VOIDLESS module, for which no additional maintenance is required, can be activated /deactivated at any time and reduces the occurrence of voids when compared to other soldering processes by up to 98 percent.

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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
