Line Scan Technology
LIST – Line Scan Technolgoy
The launch of the VERSAPRINT print-ing machines was a world premiere that re-defined SMT production. The revolutionary Line Scan Technology (LIST) camera (patent pending) and the TRT (Triple Rail Transport) repre-sents the core competence of this printer: true time savings via opti-mized parallel processing, 100 % post print AOI integrated into the machine, as well as the maximum in machine capability for the minimum floor space requirement.
Most of today’s printers use a stan-dard camera and prisms for align-ment and the same camera to rap-
idly shoot many small field-of-view pictures for inspection. Ersa revolu-tionizes these processes via the use of a line sensor based camera for both alignment and inspection. Simi-lar to a standard scanner, the LIST camera (patent pending) has top and bottom contact image sensors (CIS) and an array of rod lenses specifi-cally designed for this application.
Standard cameras take many pic-tures of a very small area, whereby the LIST camera scans the entire length of 260 mm at a speed of 35 mm per second! From an inspection speed standpoint,
Ersa’s Line Scan Technology has set new standards. The LIST camera in the VERSAPRINT achieves the world’s fastest inspection speed of 9,100 mm2/s! In addition to inspec-tion speed, the scanning of the en-tire substrate offers many additional advantages.

Optimizing production efficiency re-mains the foremost goal of SMT equipment manufacturers.
In a printing machine, the major pro-cess steps are printing, transporting, cleaning and inspecting. The printing, for example, can be conducted simultaneously or parallel to an in-spection process and can achieve a serious cycle time reduction.
The VERSAPRINT revolutionizes par-allel processing based on a TRT Triple Rail Transport and the 100 % inspec-tion capability offered by LIST. The two most time consuming processes of printing and inspection can run parallel in order to achieve a tremen-dous cycle time reduction.

New extreme low mass center support
HOTFLOW 3/20
We have made one of our customers’ main production challenges our own: guaranteeing the highest productiv-ity with the lowest manufacturing cost.
It was precisely for this reason that Ersa invested in a new reflow ma-chine concept which places the re-flow process safety, throughput and running costs at the forefront of the R & D. The days of investing in just any reflow oven that has the number of heating zones required are over. Today, the economical aspects and true performance of the oven must play a major role in the decision mak-ing process.
Only via a Total Cost of Ownership analysis is it possible to determine the economic efficiency of a ma-chine with respect to profitability.
With the completely redesigned HOTFLOW series, Ersa has been suc-cessful in optimizing the systems in such a manner that, for all aspects important in the reflow process, their systems provide superior re-sults.
ERSAsoft allows for total process monitoring & visualization

The ERSA HOTFLOW series of reflow ovens is comprised of two machine lines. First the HOTFLOW 3/14 and 3/20 machine types which are avail-able from their basic configurations up to the high-quality, high-end sys-tem.
While the HOTFLOW 2/12 can be considered the entry-level model, the HOTFLOW 3/14e and HOTFLOW 3/20e stand out by their efficiency. The machines of this product line in-clude the high-quality components of the standard ovens, however, in a limited variety in the final configura-tion stage. In return, they offer a particularly attractive pricing.

Over the last 15 years, Ersa has placed more than 1000 systems in the field, and with each additional system sold, Ersa has strengthened its position as the market and tech-nology leader in the automated se-lective soldering process.
As the world leader for selective sol-dering machines ERSA permanently faces the challenge of optimizing the production processes of their cus-tomers and to increase their techno-logical and economic benefits.
The third generation of the VERSA-FLOW meets even more of those de-mands. The modular concept allows the customization of the machine so that it exactly meets the require-ments of the production process.
The throughput and even the flexibil-ity can be adjusted individually by the use of innovative concepts such as extra modules, dual conveyor sys-tems, hybrid heating and dual pot selective soldering systems. A wide range of monitoring systems guaran-tee the process reliability in either case.

Advanced Wave Solderingwith Air & N2 tunnel machines
Ersa‘s full N2 tunnel wave solder ma-chine, the POWERFLOW N2 was spe-cifically designed to meet the chal-lenges of lead free!
The machine highlights a 16“ board width, plug and play preheat design (Medium IR, Convection, Short IR and top-side Convection) and 1.8 meters of preheat standard. Additional pre-heating of up to 3.0 meters can be added if needed. A new nozzle con-figuration brings the chip wave closer (40 mm) to the laminar wave for re-duced solder defects. This machine has a pin & chain transport through-out the fluxer and pre-heater and

feeds into a finger conveyor in the wave section of the machine. A car-rier machine is also available.
A bar code scanner on the new fluxer allows to selectively flux and pro-gram in “keep out areas” for board cut outs, where the fluxer will not spray a specific area of the board. The POWERFLOW N2 machine has a process gas cleaning system (similar to Reflow machines) which also regu-lates the Auto Tunnel Temperature Compensation. The machine has a low profile design of 1.57 m and is ideal for demanding customers who require a 16“ tunnel wave.

This NEW heating technology makes an ultra-fast heat-up and heat recov-ery possible for the i-Tool soldering iron. From room temperature to 350 °C in about 9 seconds and from stand-by (280°C) to 350°C in about 3 seconds.You can choose out of 3 power level settings that control the heating ele-ment depending on the heat demand. The highest level gives you the maxi-mum power of 150 W, where the lowest level strictly controls the performance and makes an “overshoot” impossible. The heating element and the solder tips are separated from each other.
The X-Tool is an extremely high pow-ered desoldering iron which has been specifically designed for the tough-est through-hole desoldering appli-cations on the heaviest of PCBs. Safe lead-free desoldering is much more challenging due to the higher process temperatures and will re-quire a desoldering tool which can function effectively at the lowest possible temperature.
The i-Tool recovers so fast that all solder joints can be made with nearly
the same temperature. The sensor mea-sures the actual tip temperature very
close to the tip extremity. The Process Window Alarm assists the operators in
guaranteeing repeatable quality.
