March 16, 2023 | Kurtz Ersa Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Kurtz Ersa Inc., a leading supplier of electronics production equipment, announced the dates for its upcoming VERSAFLOW 3 Maintenance and Application Training Courses at its Plymouth headquarters. The VERSAFLOW 3 Selective Soldering Level II Maintenance Training Course will be held from Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. to Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at 5 p.m. The VERSAFLOW 3 Selective Soldering Level II Application Training Course will take place Thursday, April 13, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to Friday, April 14, 2023 at 5 p.m.
For the Application Course, participants are encouraged to bring or ship any challenging products to the facility so that Ersa’s application specialist can help to fine tune your program and get the best process time achievable. Both classes will bring attendees to the knowledge level needed to keep your selective soldering machine running at its peak performance and reduce unnecessary downtime.
The VERSAFLOW 3 series is the world’s most utilized in-line selective soldering machine. The system achieves the highest flexibility and throughput with the smallest possible required space. In order to satisfy all demands in regards to flexibility, the third generation of Ersa´s VERSAFLOW selective soldering systems is based on a modular platform.
The Maintenance Course will provide training for proper maintenance of the VERSAFLOW 3 to prevent downtime. In addition to an advanced machine overview, the course will provide training for preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, calibration and more.
The Application Course will provide the knowledge and hands-on experience for process application and programming on the VERSAFLOW 3 selective soldering machine. The goal of this course is to give the student the knowledge to properly maintain their process with minimal to zero defects with the highest throughput possible.

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.
