POWERFLOW
Flexible Preheating Concepts, High-Quality Materials and
Many Years of Experience in Lead-Free Production Lines
The ERSA POWERFLOW represents a new future-ori-
ented machine design consisting of different intelligent
solutions adding value to the customer‘s production
process. The POWERFLOW is based on a modular,
flexible machine frame. Every module fully meets the
requirements of lead-free soldering without any com-
promises. Flux, preheat and solder module can be con-
figured individually so that board-specific properties
can be considered.
Fluxer
The spray fluxer provided in the standard equipment
processes VOC-free fluxes in a safe and reproducible
way. A second spray head with separate flux supply is
optionally available. Flux type and the amount of flux to
be deposited is selected individually for each compo-
nent in the solder program. In addition, it is possible to
monitor the amount of flux deposited via sensors.
Spray pattern programming is effected via a user-
friendly, intelligent graphic operating surface. Automatic
board shape recognition is optionally available.
Preheating
The high demands of lead-free soldering with regard
to the preheating process were met and realized in
the ERSA POWERFLOW machine design. Modular,
flexible preheating lengths and configurations of up to
2.4 m assure gentle and effective heat-up of multilay-
ers. High-mass components are safely warmed up in
the POWERFLOW‘s preheat module. Optional top-
side convection heaters provide for optimal heat-up of
thermally demanding boards. The preheating length
can freely be composed of short and medium wave
length IR emitters as well as convection heaters thus
covering numerous heat transfer possibilities. In this
way, individual production requirements can optimally
be met.
Solder module
The POWERFLOW‘s solder module design is based on
proven technologies and optimized for lead-free sol-
ders. For maintenance purposes the solder module is
drawn out of the machine. Large solder capacity, RPM-
regulated solder pump drives and different nozzle
shapes ensure constant and reproducible soldering
results. An optionally available solder bar feeder pro-
vides for a constant solder level.
Conveyor system
The conveyor system offers frame or finger conveyor.
The frame conveyor can optionally be designed as a
segmented conveyor so that different speeds can be
realized in the preheat and solder module. The finger
conveyor is installed in the solder module whereas the
the remaining conveyors are pin-and-chain conveyors.
Control
The POWERFLOW is controlled via laptop or industrial
PC with touchscreen which communicates with the
machine control. The operating surface is very user-
friendly and clear. Due to the network interface, the
machine‘s computer can be integrated into production
networks. Thus the latest production and / or traceabil-
ity data is available any time.
