Kurtz Ersa Inc. is pleased to announce that Ascentron, a premier contract manufacturer located in White City, OR, has upgraded their entire hand soldering line of 40 stations to the Ersa i-CON 1 MK2 with the patented “Tip ‘N’ Turn” handpiece. This upgrade will enable Ascentron to increase efficiency by exchanging tips faster and safer, as well as reducing costs on consumables.
Ann (Andy) Abrigo, a Master IPC Instructor at Ascentron, shared her positive experience: “We have been extremely happy with the Ersa i-CON 1 MK2 solder stations. Ersa was very helpful with the transition and working with the team. They explained the units, made suggestions on different soldering tips and techniques, and were helpful with the entire transition.”
The i-CON 1 MK2, with its patented “Tip ‘N’ Turn” handpiece, allows operators to exchange tips faster and safer. Additionally, the new 0142 tips offer up to 20% greater heat transfer, creating a more efficient process. With a separate heater and tip, operators can swap tips independently of the heater, leading to significant consumable cost savings.
Ascentron excels in manufacturing Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA), Flex Circuit Board Assemblies, Electro-Mechanical Assemblies, and complete product Box Builds. They serve a diverse range of industries including Aviation, Medical, Military, Industrial, and Instrumentation.
