Choosing the right Ersa rework system
Hand-soldering workplace or rework system?
For classic soldering and working on individual joints, a soldering and hot-air station such as the i-CON VARIO series is sufficient. As soon as you need to reproducibly remove and place large SMD or BGA components, a hybrid rework system of the HR series is the right choice, because it combines controlled top and bottom heating.
What to look for when selecting a system?
- PCB size: larger HR systems and matching exchange frames handle formats up to around 535 x 300 mm.
- Process control: a Reflow Process Camera (RPC) makes the soldering step visible and documentable.
- Accessories: heating plates, heating heads and board holders should match the chosen HR system.
Soldering and hot-air station or hybrid rework system?
| Criterion | i-CON soldering/hot-air station | HR hybrid rework system |
|---|---|---|
| Use | Hand soldering, individual joints | Removing and placing large components |
| Heat source | Soldering iron and hot air | IR bottom heating combined with hot air |
| Typical components | THT and single SMD | SMD, BGA and larger packages |
| Process control | manual, by the operator | optional Reflow Process Camera |
| PCB fixturing | at the workplace | board holders and exchange frames |
| Reproducibility | depends on the operator | high, through a guided process |

Frequently asked questions about Ersa
Who is Ersa?
Ersa is a German manufacturer of soldering and rework technology for professional electronics production and repair and is part of the Kurtz Ersa group. Its range includes hybrid rework systems, reflow process cameras and soldering stations.
What is a hybrid rework system of the HR series?
A hybrid rework system such as the HR 500, HR 200 or HR100A combines infrared bottom heating with hot air to remove and re-place SMD and BGA components in a controlled way. The guided process delivers reproducible results.
What is the Reflow Process Camera (RPC) used for?
The Reflow Process Camera makes the soldering process under the component visible. It lets you observe, control and document the melting of the solder, which helps with process development and quality assurance during rework.
What does the i-CON VARIO station do?
The i-CON VARIO 4 MK2 is an ESD-safe multi-channel soldering and hot-air station with vacuum. It is suited to hand-soldering and hot-air tasks at the professional electronics workplace.
Is there matching accessory for the HR systems?
Yes. For the HR rework systems Ersa offers heating heads, heating plates, board holders and PCB exchange frames that let you securely fixture and process different PCB formats.
