Kurtz Ersa Inc. today announced that it received two 2023 GLOBAL Technology Awards. The awards recognize excellence in the categories of Repair and Rework for the Auto Scavenger Module for the Ersa Rework System HR 600 XL, and Selective Soldering for the VERSAFLOW ONE X-Series. The esteemed awards ceremony took place during productronica in Munich on Nov. 14, 2023.
Innovating Rework Excellence: Auto Scavenger Module for HR 600 XL
The Ersa HR 600 XL, already established as a technological frontrunner in the rework platform for large electronic assemblies, has further elevated its capabilities with the introduction of the Auto Scavenger module. This enhancement empowers the system to perform non-contact removal of residual solder from the board, making it an invaluable tool for efficient and precise rework processes.
With just three simple clicks, users define the area on the assembly from which residual solder needs to be removed after component desoldering. The system takes care of the rest, automatically defining the necessary tracks and initiating the cleaning process while the board remains preheated.
The Auto Scavenger module offers cleaning speeds ranging from 1 mm/s to 3 mm/s, ensuring the efficient removal of residual solder from large electronic assemblies. What sets it apart is its adaptability. Users can fine-tune the cleaning performance based on various parameters, including nitrogen temperature and track speed, and save individual profiles for each assembly.
Versatility and Efficiency: VERSAFLOW ONE X-Series
The VERSAFLOW ONE X-Series is a compact in-line selective soldering system featuring a dual-pot soldering module with X-variability. This innovative machine concept prioritizes increased and optimized throughput, economic efficiency, and exceptional soldering quality. The dual solder pot with X-variability offers multiple advantages:
Simultaneous soldering of two assemblies in a PCB panel using two identical soldering nozzles, increasing productivity by up to 50%.
Utilization of soldering nozzles with different diameters, allowing for solder joints of various sizes without production interruptions.
Capacity to operate up to two soldering modules, further enhancing throughput.
Kurtz Ersa's VERSAFLOW ONE X-Series is engineered to deliver speed, precision, and economic efficiency while consistently delivering top-tier soldering results.
The GLOBAL Technology Awards, established in 2005, have become an industry benchmark, celebrating exceptional standards and groundbreaking solutions within the global SMT and advanced packaging industry. The award recognizes companies and individuals who consistently drive the industry forward with their outstanding innovations.
