Kurtz Ersa’s VERSAFLOW 4 XL enables flexible production for printed circuit board formats of up to 610 x 1200 mm. Two all-new solder modules are available for the 4 XL to provide application flexibility.
The flux module VERSAFLUX allows up to four spraying heads to be installed on two completely independent axis systems. Application of the flux to the PCB is monitored by laser, resulting in a safe, automated process. In addition to the bottom heating with infrared emitters, a top convection heater can also be configured for the preheating module. There is an optional preheat module available upstream of the flux module for the VERSAFLOW 4 XL. This option allows the gentle heating of heat-intensive assemblies to preheated final temperature after fluxing, protecting the flux from thermal decomposition.
With the VERSAFLEX module, two independent axis systems allow both pots to solder in synchronous or asynchronous operation. Up to two solder modules can be integrated in the VERSAFLOW 4 XL.

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
