Global Technology Awards for Ersa products
Since 2005, the Global Technology Awards have been given in the USA – each year, outstanding, forward-pointing products and systems for electronics production are given prizes by a selected jury of experts. At the end of September, the team from Kurtz North America was able to receive two product awards as part of the SMTA International in the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois (USA).
The awards for the Ersa systems were in the categories “Rework and Repair“ and also “Selective Soldering“. According to the lasting trend for miniaturisation of high-capacity components, the loss-free thermal conductivity of soldering points in the SMT process is becoming more and more important – and void-free soldering points in high-capacity electronics are becoming more and more a part of the focus. The highly automated HR 600/2 VOIDLESS rework system is technologically absolutely state of the art in this regard and convinced the jury with its VOIDLESS technology, which leads to a void level of less than 2% – and thus achieves the same low void level in the production process as a HOTFLOW reflow soldering system with a VOIDLESS module.
Provide customers and the market with innovative solutions
Ersa also hit the nerve of this extremely dynamic electronic production branch with the newly developed VERSAFLEX soldering module, which provides unlimited flexibility and maximum productivity – two solder pots (y-x variable or z-variable), equipped with various solder and various solder nozzles, which work in parallel. With the software version 5.4, the pot can be moved freely in an x, y and z direction – with each solder pot acting completely independently and collision-free.
“We are pleased about the two awards. The GTA product awards are an important indicator for electronics production and for us once more the confirmation that we fulfil customers’ requirements with innovative products and systems. We will also continue to provide our customers and the market with innovative solutions which not only fulfil customers’ requirements in electronics production, but lift them to a new level”, said Albrecht Beck, President and COO of Kurtz North America.
