Fluxing with Highest Precision Best process safety and accuracy of positioning The fluxing system of a selective soldering system has to meet a number of different demands. Aside from precision and speed, top quality fluxing processes also need a high degree of reliability. Precision and Accuracy Areas of the printed circuit board that will not be wetted by the solder may not be fluxed. In order to ensure this, the most modern multidrop flux heads, coming from the industrial ink-jet technology, are used today. Here the flux is not vaporized, but it is rather deposited by accurately jetting it...

Multidrop precision fluxer: Highest process safety through flux volume measurement and control 2 flux modules possible Largest Throughput To ensure short cycle times in this sequential process, dynamic servo drives are used, and, equally important, the flux modules of the VERSAFLOW and ECOCELL systems can be equipped with up to 4 flux heads. And with the new VERSAFLOW 4, it is now also possible to program the moves of the additional flux heads in the Y-distance, eliminating downtime due to set-up. Applying an innovative function, the high performance controls of the system allow the exact wetting...

Optimal Soldering Results Unique energy transfer and precision Regardless for which selective soldering system a customer may decide, he does not have to accept any compromise when it comes to the soldering technology. All Ersa soldering systems are equipped with an electromagnetic solder pump. This technology offers the advantage, that, due to the lack of movable mechanical parts, very small amounts of dross are generated, making the solder bath itself a low-maintenance item. Improved break-off during nozzle retraction with the “Peel-Off” function The pump ensures a very constant flow rate and...
