Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE board examination systems developed by Ersa to address the challenges in the electronics industry, particularly in achieving zero-defect strategies in soldering processes. These systems are crucial for maintaining high-quality standards in electronic assemblies amidst increasing cost pressures.

Why Board Examination Systems?
The primary reasons for implementing board examination systems include ensuring solder joint quality, traceability, alignment with Industry 4.0 standards, and minimizing material waste. These systems help monitor parameters that significantly impact the quality of electronic assemblies.

VERSASCAN Module
The VERSASCAN module is designed to detect errors before they occur in THT-equipped PCBs. Key features include:
  • Recognition of multicodes and PCB direction.
  • Detection of incomplete assemblies and incorrect component placement.
  • Integration with the VERSAFLOW selective soldering system for seamless operation.
The module uses a high-resolution camera to compare current PCBs with reference images, identifying potential errors to prevent defective PCBs from entering the soldering process.

VERSAEYE Module
The VERSAEYE system provides post-soldering inspection and documentation. It is available as an integrated or stand-alone module and features:
  • 360° inspection capability with 9 cameras.
  • Detection of solder defects such as bridges and poor wetting.
  • Modular inspection options and compatibility with workpiece carriers.
The system ensures traceability and allows for detailed error analysis, enhancing the reliability of solder joints.

Technical Specifications
Both VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE systems share similar technical specifications, including:
  • Dimensions: Length 850-1300 mm, Width 1750 mm, Height 1610 mm.
  • Conveyor speed: 1-200 cm/min.
  • Inspection speed: 2 frames/s.
  • Power consumption: 1 kW with a voltage of 230 V.
These specifications ensure efficient operation within a specified ambient temperature range and noise level.

Conclusion
The VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE systems are integral to achieving zero-defect production in electronic assemblies. By providing pre- and post-soldering inspection capabilities, these systems help manufacturers maintain high-quality standards while optimizing production efficiency.

Why board examination systems? ■ Proof of solder joint quality ■ Traceability ■ Industry 4.0 ■ No waste of materials One major growth motor in the electronics industry are the increasing digital networks in both the industrial and private sectors, including the automotive industry and e-mobility. However, in the production of electronic assemblies, equipment manufacturers and EMS providers are faced with enormous cost pressure. "Zero-defect strategies" are a major component when it comes to taking up these challenges. In order to achieve stable quality, and meet the associated demand for zero-defects,...

VERSAFLOW 4/55 with VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE module Arising from this fact, the soldering system process inspection can only monitor some of the parameters, which contribute essentially to the quality of the electronic assembly. The aim of a “zero-defect strategy” in soldering is therefore to eliminate those soldering system factors, which can directly influence the process, from the outset. In addition, the soldering results should be inspected and documented immediately after the soldering system. For this purpose Ersa has developed the VERSASCAN and VERSAEYE modules. The VERSASCAN is used to...

Bad board detection is used to identify defective components and to exclude the PCB or, in case of a PCB panel, to exclude the defective single PCB of the panel from the production process. This prevents defective PCBs from being soldered and reduces waste. Furthermore, valuable production time as well as equipment and resources such as flux, solder and energy are saved while maximizing throughput. In this way, errors can be corrected before soldering whereby rework costs are eliminated. The results are logged and are then available for example as an XML file for follow-up processes. In order...

Thanks to the lateral cameras a detailed error analysis is possible. As you can see in the sample image: the poor wetting is only visible from a certain angle. The software has been optimized for THT applications. Due to histogram programming, solder bridges, solder balls, poorly wetted solder joints or partially open solder joints etc. can be detected. The inspection results can be documented completely of course, and the traceability of the assembly is guaranteed. Error analyzes can also be created. The handling of the PCBs can be carried out directly or via a workpiece carrier. The PCB conveyor...
