ECOCELL Selective Soldering System in-line and off-line: Uncompromising throughput - flexible layout.
iTopPlus175009594037

As the world's technology leader in selective soldering systems Ersa supplement their successful VERSAFLOW series with a compact selective soldering system: the ECOSELECT 2. It is the optimal solution for small and medium scale production where flexibility is paramount. The machine's design focuses on providing reproducible quality while being simple to operate. The intelligent and clearly structured software allows for easy and effective machine programming, and it records all relevant production parameters. One highlight is the graphical programming via the optional CAD Assistant 2 software. It ensures very quick and easy off-line programming, while the machine continues running in production. Alternatively, the machine can be programmed via DXF files or scanned PCBs. Unauthorized machine operation is prevented by the user administration feature.

Highlights ECOCELL

  • High-end selective soldering system for integration into manufacturing islands (U-shape)
  • Miniwave soldering for high flexibility or multiwave soldering for high-volume applications
  • Product change without loss of production time even for multiwave processes
  • Parallel process through separation of fluxing, preheating and soldering
  • Ideal for linking with manual work stations and peripherals

     With the Ersa ECOCELL, the worldwide technology leader in selective soldering systems expands his product range with a system that fully responds to the demands of modern production methods. The ECOCELL works according to the Toyota principle, and conveys the PCBs in the counterclockwise direction. This U-shaped arrangement makes the system ideal for use as part of a production island, but it can also be operated as a “side-line”.

     The notions of high throughput and high flexibility, mentioned together in one sentence, are not contradictory to each other. With 2 integrated preheaters, up to 4 PCBs can be processed simultaneously. Dual pot systems open up the possibility to efficiently solder PCB panels. And equally, when using miniwave and multiwave systems, different solder alloys can be handled. This function, together with the possibility to service one multiwave bath while the other one is in operation, reduces setup time during a product change to a minimum.

     The well-proven spray fluxing unit is also installed in the ECOCELL. With the integrated flux spray control, flux deposition, whether in single points or in tracks, is performed on a high quality level.

    The short-wave IR emitter cassettes, mounted on the bottom side of the boards, can be optionally augmented with a top-side convection preheating unit, thereby assuring a homogeneous soak of even the most complex board assemblies. A further available, optional upper convection preheater over the miniwave bath assures that the boards maintain the optimal process temperature for the duration of the solder process. The “peel off” effect developed by Ersa for soldering at a 0° angle eliminates the risk of bridging and ensures achieving the lowest DPM rate. For the solder bath itself, only induction pumps are being deployed to pump the solder into the wave, which makes these pumps a low-maintenance and wear-part-free item.

     The intuitive system software allows effective programming of the system and records all production relevant data (traceability) as per ZVEI standard. The graphical interface of the CAD assistant permits quick and easy off-line programming while the system is in operation, thereby ensuring the maximum availability of the system for production.
