Wave soldering machine

11 October 2017 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Ersa has expanded its wave soldering system offering with the new Powerflow Air, offering a value-for-money option with flexible soldering bath technology. In keeping with the modern trend, it offers a spray system as a standard feature. In the area of fluxers, Ersa offers numerous solutions, all of which are system-compatible and economical in terms of flux consumption and speed of processing.

With the intuitive Ersasoft operating software, the product-specific spray area can be graphically defined, with positive effects on flux consumption. Like the other members of the Powerflow family, the Air can be variously configured depending on requirements: In addition to medium wave and short wave infrared heating modules, convention heating is also available for pre-heating.

Thanks to their dynamic reaction, short-wave heater cassettes are recommended for mixed production. Convection modules really play to their strengths when large, high-mass components need to be heated on a specific side, or temperature-sensitive components are in use, so that overheating has to be avoided in the pre-heating process. All these requirements are met by the Powerflow concept with an individually configurable and modularly extendable pre-heating concept.

In the soldering module, the system relies on the proven Ersa double-wave soldering technique on the basis of which the soldering aggregate has been completely redesigned and adapted to market requirements. With three soldering nozzle combinations, the user-friendly soldering aggregate permits the optimum alignment of the processes to the requirements of the user – among other features, the long wetting period and the wave height of 16 mm are impressive. Optionally available is a nitrogen hood.
