VERSAFLUX & VERSAFLEX
The new freedom for fluxing and soldering
With the all-new VERSAFLUX and
VERSAFLEX modules, Kurtz Ersa is
setting benchmarks in quality, flex-
ibility and throughput. As the name
already suggests, VERSAFLUX is the
flux module and VERSAFLEX is the
solder module available in the new
VERSAFLOW 4 XL.
Both modules work with two mutually
independent axis systems, allow-
ing the pots and spray heads to be
adjusted and moved individually in x-,
y- and z-direction. Assemblies can
thus be fluxed or soldered synchro-
nously or asynchronously. In synchro-
nous mode, the two axes with the flux
heads or pots move in parallel at a
predetermined fixed distance to one
another – ideal for panel processing.
In asynchronous mode, each axis fol-
lows its own travel path. This means
an assembly can be processed with
two different nozzle diameters at
the same time, for example. Through
this, and through operation with
different solder alloys and/or fluxes
without changeover necessary, they
also create a tremendous added value
for production an offer maximum
flexibility.
The complex machine movements are
controlled using the intuitive operator
software ERSASOFT 5. This incorpo-
rates the future-oriented editor CAD
Assistant 4 which the operator uses
for the fast and simple creation and
management of solder programs.
Highlights
Simultaneous fluxing and soldering
on PCB panels in x- or y-direction
Highest flexibility coupled with
shortest cycle time
Automatic optimisation of cycle
time through CAD Assistant 4

CAD Assistant 4
The future in soldering program creation
The efficient generation of complex
solder programs is of great importance.
The Ersa CAD Assistant 4 provides for
an offline program generation while the
machine is in operation! This ensures
highest machine availability.
CAD Assistant 4 considers the specific
equipment configuration in the genera
-
tion of a solder program. Furthermore,
it supports modules with two indepen
-
dent axes (VERSAFLUX & VERSAFLEX).
The data sets of the CNC axes are pro
-
cessed using Drag&Drop. Furthermore,
CAD Assistant 4 includes pre-defined
data sets the user can easily adapt to
his specific application. Errors during
the program creation are prevented by
a plausibility check. Both CAD files of
PCBs and image files can be used as
basis in the program generation with
CAD Assistant 4.
All movements of the fluxer and the
solder pots are graphically entered on
the image of the board, after which
the process data is added. Program
files created with the CAD Assistant 4
can easily be verified by means of
process simulations and can immedi
-
ately be used in the selective soldering
machine.
During programming the user selects
the operating mode: x/z-variable or
y/z-variable for synchronous process
-
ing of PCB panels or the asynchronous
mode where the axes move inde
-
pendently in x-y-z. Due to the new
auto-routing feature, the generation
of complex solder programs is super
easy: The user only enters the tracks or
single joints to be fluxed and soldered.
CAD Assistant 4 then automatically
sets the machine movements in the
most efficient way.
Highlights
Intuitive programming due to
graphic user interface
Optimized cycle times by means
of auto-routing
Automatic and optimized assign-
ment of fluxing and soldering jobs
to the available modules
Prevention of crashes by the
definition of exclusion areas
Program simulation to verify
settings
Support of modules with two
independent axes
(VERSAFLUX & VERSAFLEX)
Management of up to 3 solder
modules
Simple scaling of the assembly

The VERSAFLOW 4 XL offers highest
quality and throughput for every size
of printed circuit board. The process-
ing window is max. 680 x 610 mm
in all modules. The trick used for
processing printed circuit boards
with a length of up to 1,200 mm: two
stoppers. When the assembly stops
at the first stopper, the front part
is processed, at the second stopper
the rear part.
The preheating module of the VER-
SAFLOW 4 XL comprises two heating
modules with 680 x 610 mm con-
trolled via the ERSASOFT 5 machine
software. For assemblies longer than
680 mm, the two emitters are joined
to form one large heating module. An
The VERSAFLOW 4 XL concept
Highest throughput for every size of PCB
additional preheating module can be
configured as an option upstream of
the flux module for the processing of
long, high-mass boards, so that the
printed circuit board can be preheat-
ed evenly and gently there.
The VERSAFLOW 4 XL offers an
interesting option for smaller assem-
blies up to a max. length of 330 mm.
Thanks to an additional stopper in
each module, two assemblies per
module can be stopped in the trans-
port system. With VERSAFLUX and
VERSAFLEX, the two assemblies can
be processed separately but simulta-
neously. This option doubles system
throughput and does away with dual
track conveyor systems. The tremen-
dous advantage of this is flexibility:
the stoppers can be selected and
deselected via software, which
means a production mix between
large printed circuit boards and small
formats is no problem.
