The Ersa VERSAFIT 500 is an effective and highly flexible inline system that increases competitiveness in electronics production by using press-fit technology. In some applications, press-fitting offers significant advantages over other processes, including more reliable connections, shorter production cycle times, no additional heat load on the assembly and no flux residues. Press-fitting also eliminates the need for nitrogen gas flushing and significantly reduces energy consumption. With the VERSAFIT 500, you can realize cost advantages and improve assembly quality.

Traceability and process dataVERSAFIT 500

Building on Ersa´ s extensive experience in integrating production equipment into MES, ERP, and traceability system infrastructures, the VERSAFIT 500's control system and software ensure complete process control of the press-fit operation. The data collected in this way is available to the user in various formats and can be processed accordingly.

Flexibility and precision

In order to meet the requirements for high flexibility, the VERSAFIT 500 has a magazine for a wide variety of press-in tools. The user defines the tool change or selection and orientation - as well as the associated process parameters - in the control program. The programs are selected and activated via coding of the assembly or workpiece carrier.

Programming is based on automatic placement machines. The position of the x/y table under the press cylinder is determined by the position of the components on the assembly. The number of pins per component and the geometry of the press-fit zones determine the press force, which is recorded as a function of the punch travel to produce the force-travel diagram of the component. Process monitoring is carried out using envelope curves with selectable tolerance fields in the force-displacement diagram.
