April, 2011 ERSA Integrates Dispense Function into Printers


Wertheim, Germany — ERSA’s VER- SAPRINT printers now offer an easy- to-use and cost-effective option — a dispenser that adds single dots and lines dispensed after the printing process. The dispenser option an


Archimedean screw for dispensing precision, and meets all of the pre- requisites for it to be able to very accurately place the dots. One or two dispenser units can be installed in the printer, so that


two different media — either differ- ent pastes or paste and glue — are permanently available at the system, and they can be applied in one process step. The needle of the dispenser is automatically cleaned, the program cycle is totally programmable, assur- ing consistent, reproducible process parameters. This new optional dis-


penser eliminates the need for a separate dispenser deployed to set glue dots or to add more solder paste to a board assem- bly —in the many cases where the printer alone could not handle all of the PCB’s parameters. This has become a problem because of increasing miniaturization of products using stencils only 100 to 200µm thick. At this thickness, and depend-


ing on the complexity of the assem- bly, the volume of paste that can be deposited is at the limit or even slightly beyond acceptable toler- ances. One solution to this has been the use of costly step stencils, through which more paste can be deposited on individually determined positions. A paste dispenser provides a far more economical solution, but until now, a separate dispense sys- tem had to be used. According to the company, pro-


grams for the dispensing process are user-friendly and easy to generate.


The user sees an image of the layout on the monitor, and simply points to location that needs more paste; the media are set by zooming in and then

marking the location. This represents the maximum in


user friendliness. Individual parame- terizations of the dispensing sequence for each location, including its subse- quent inspection, are a matter of course. With the dispensing feature integrated into the printer, the user is gaining additional value from the printer, while at the same time increasing equipment utilization. Contact: ERSA NA, 1779

the Expert 10.6, a cost-effective rework system with an intuitive interface, process repeatability and semi-automated operation. A lead- ing-edge camera-driven alignment system provides an excellent solution for the automatic placement process. The hybrid platform combines both infrared and convection heating tech- nologies to achieve outstanding board temperature uniformity, thus minimizing temperature-based PCB distortion.

ing reflow. The reballing function is capa-


ble of handling a diverse range of BGAs, as well as QFNs and CSPs. Processes can be completed in as lit- tle as three minutes. The simple Rapid Technology soldering profiles rigorously apply settings within the permitted thermal limits, heat at the highest advisable thermal ramp rates and maintain a safe tempera- ture zone.
