Kurtz Ersa, Inc. returned from a well-attended IPC APEX EXPO 2026, where it connected with visitors from around the world and showcased new and existing technologies at its booth. This year´s event attracted 3,582 visitors, providing excellent opportunities for demonstrations and technical discussions.
Kurtz Ersa showcased several systems, including the locally manufactured HOTFLOW THREE (reflow), the new VERSAFLOW FIVE and VERSAFLOW 4 Core Edition (selective), and the SRO i-LINE vacuum reflow system. The rework systems on display included the HR 600 XL, HR 600P, HR 600/2, HR 550 XL, and HR 550 models. Also on display at the booth was the CFX-certified i-CON TRACE manual soldering platform for networked factory environments.
In addition, Kurtz Ersa received two 2026 NPI Awards for VERSAFLOW FIVE and the SRO i-LINE. Both systems were recognized for helping manufacturers improve throughput and process control in selective and semicon reflow soldering applications. Kurtz Ersa used the event to honor its sales partners: ELECTRI-REP, Inc. was named “Machine Sales Representative of the Year,” and in the Rework & Inspection category, the award went to PMR Representatives.
“APEX is always a great opportunity to spend time with customers and discuss real-world production challenges,” said Ernie Grice, Vice President of Sales at Kurtz Ersa, Inc. “We had great conversations about throughput, process control, and the future of manufacturing.” Many thanks to all booth visitors!
