Tools Roadshow makes a stop at Ersa
In 2018, Ersa Tools once again organized its popular roadshow: Interested parties had the opportunity to travel to eleven locations in Germany to attend one of the one-day roadshows. The soldering experts also made a stop in October at the Ersa site in Wertheim – 20 participants from various companies wanted to find out more about this year´s topic “Demanding soldering and desoldering on electronic assemblies”. Ersa Tools expert Manfred Wolff introduced the company and introduced current topics, such as soldering large BGAs on large boards, processing assemblies with underfilled BGAs, LGAs or BTCs – frequently used in smartphones – or the use of smaller chip components such as 0402, 0201 and 01005.
The coffee break was already used intensively for the exchange of soldering requirements directly in the demo room of Ersa Tools. Many details have to be considered: Which tool, which system, which flux, soldering at which temperature – for optimal results, inventors are required who work tirelessly towards the perfect result. After the lunch break, the participants´ own components were discussed directly and recommendations were given about the ideal hand soldering device, rework or inspection system to be used. The entire Ersa Tools product portfolio was available for this purpose, including the rework systems HR 200 for beginners and HR 550 with non-contact solder removal module, the i-CON VARIO 4 multifunction soldering station and the EASY ARM solder fume extraction system for health-friendly working. This hands-on part was unanimously rated as particularly valuable by the participants, as the Ersa experts also showed alternative machining methods that lead to a better result – for example through less thermal stress for PCB and components. For the coming year, planning is already underway, and due to the corresponding demand, plans will also extend beyond the country´s borders. After the Ersa Tools Roadshow is before the Ersa Tools Roadshow!
