Kurtz Ersa has reported that LSI ADL Technology has purchased an Ersa VERSAFLOW 3/45 in-line selective soldering machine. The machine has the ability to have both lead and lead-free solder alloys in each soldering module, which eliminates loss of production experienced with older machines.

The dual solder pot option also supports improvements to production scheduling by eliminating delays for expedited orders when the required alloy was not loaded in the machine. The modular design of the Ersa leaves the door open to add an additional solder module and machine options if we would experience the need for additional throughput or a change to soldering requirements in our future.”

The VERSAFLOW 3/45  features a servo gantry, electromagnetic pumping system, top- and bottom-side heating and dual solder pot capability for dual alloy processing without the need for pot swapping. Additional features include board warpage detection, fiducial recognition and auto nozzle cleaning. The modular system handles board sizes 16" x 20", 20" x 20" and 24" x 24".

“LSI ADL Technology has experienced an evolving business relationship with Kurtz Ersa, with Ersa providing excellent service and support for their equipment for over 10 years,” commented Don Winks, Engineering Manager at LSI ADL Technology LLC. “This relationship led LSI ADL Technology LLC to purchase the new Ersa Versaflow 3/45 with key factors being the throughput advantages associated with the modular design of the Ersa equipment, and the dual solder pot option for each of the solder modules.
