Ersa wave soldering systems POWERFLOW ULTRA The electronics manufacturing industry is faced with constantly increasing demands for efficiency and flexibility. At the same time, its customers require highest quality at unbeatable cheap prices. Manufacturers respond to these increasing, and sometimes conflicting, challenges by adapting their manufacturing facilities and strategies. In this tense atmosphere, modern wave soldering systems are an important part of the economic processing of wired components in mass soldering processes. The high demands that complex electronic assemblies place on the...

For manufacturing environments, in which floor space is the main priority, the POWERFLOW PRO represents an interesting version. The partially modular design of this machine provides all the essential options in a compressed form, which makes the entire system more compact, thus requiring less floor space. The POWERFLOW has about the same number of features as the POWERFLOW ULTRA, but does not have a full nigtrogen tunnel. Optionally we offer a compact nitrogen tunnel over the solder wave. This creates a targeted and adjustable nitrogen atmosphere directly during the soldering process, which significantly...

Best process safety, even with high throughput Today, spray systems are standard equipment for any wave soldering machine, however they differ significantly in detail. Ersa offers many innovative solutions for the fluxer. Easy to maintain 2 spray heads Easy to program Standard containers up to 25 liters Spray sections for specific products can be entered graphically on ERSASOFT. This highly convenient type of process planning helps to greatly reduce flux consumption. Particular attention is paid not only to the systems’ safety, but also to their cost effectiveness, i.e. flux consumption and processing...

Efficient, uniform, repeatable Preheating – dynamic emitters The preheating process is very important in wave soldering since this is where a significant proportion of the required soldering heat is transferred. The preheating section of the POWERFLOW series ensures that the preheating process is always absolutely stable and reproducible and that temperature profiles and process windows are maintained. Preheating can be freely configured to meet even the highest demands and can be composed of various modules: It is possible to heat the printed circuit boards gently, evenly and very effectively...

Power Wave nozzle Combination of Vario Wave solder nozzles For maintenance work, the solder unit is electrically lowered and positioned out of the machine on a support stand. The support stand is integrated directly into the soldering module and, in order to be used, it only needs to be pulled out from the machine. Accessibility of the solder pot for maintenance or repair work can be easily achieved. For example, solder pump, canal and soldering nozzle units can be removed from the solder pot without using tools. In addition, during assembly, no tools or any kind of adjustment work are required....

flexible concepts for all requirements Technical highlights: Frame or finger conveyor Separated conveyor Use of third-party frames Sturdy chain instead of conveyor belts Low maintenance Flexible speeds For PCB conveying in the soldering machine, Ersa offers systems for solder frames or finger conveyors. The solder frame conveyor is based on a robust chain that is guided in a profile. By simple adjustments of the system the transport of solder frames from other manufacturers is also possible. Existing solder frames can therefore still be used when replacing a third-party product with an Ersa wave...
