ERSA HOTFLOW 2/20 reflow oven was built in 2007 in Germany by ERSA
GmbH. It is a specialist machine dedicated to reflow soldering, one of
the basic soldering techniques in high-volume production of electronic
components. Electronic components are joined to the printed circuit
board PCB by means of solder paste, which is melted at a controlled
temperature. This results in extremely durable and precise
connections, which is crucial in the production of modern electronic
devices.
ERSA HOTFLOW 2/20 sets the highest standards in lead free reflow
soldering. It allows the soldering of all, even the most thermally
sensitive components on printed circuit boards PCB with a maximum
width of 510 mm. The workspace consists of 20 separately controlled
heating zones and 3 cooling zones with precise temperature control,
which provide maximum flexibility in terms of soldering profile
configuration. The HOTFLOW 2/20 reflow soldering machine also
features, among others, a conveyor, an extraction system and a control
system with ERSAsoft software. The total weight of the machine is
approximately 2700 kg.
