The preheating process is designed to heat the PCB homogeneously before it is transported to the soldering module. The goal here is to provide up to 50 % of the thermal energy using infrared light emitters so that the printed circuit board is not heated in a shock-like manner when it comes into contact with the liquid solder.
Mini wave soldering uses a single soldering nozzle that solders each solder joint one after the other. This provides maximum flexibility in combination with the highest quality, as the soldering parameters can be set individually for each solder joint. Like all Ersa selective soldering machines, the VERSAFLOW ONE is equipped with an electromagnetic solder pump. This has the advantage that the lack of mechanically moving parts means that there is only minimal dross, making the pot extremely low-maintenance. The pump ensures an extremely constant flow rate and thus offers a precisely and finely adjustable solder wave height.
The VERSAFLOW ONE is extremely user-friendly – the intuitive ERSASOFT 5 software stands out here. Thanks to the integrated CAD Assistant 4, creating soldering programs is child’s play. No complicated start-up phase means faster profits. Improved heating in the cross profile has reduced the power requirement of the machine, which means energy savings of 10%.
