chase of an Ersa BGA repair station and an ErsaS- cope, and it has grown steadily. Over the years, Er- sa has continued to meet Gable’s needs, recently installing a VERSAFLOW 3/45 in-line selective soldering system.
Selective Soldering System Charles Flores, Director of Manufacturing at
Gables Engineering, commented, “We are extreme- ly happy with the VERSAFLOW 3/45. A few of the things I have really noticed are the ease of pro- gramming, superb quality of the solder joints and repeatability of that quality.” In addition, he said that the system provides the company with faster output while maintaining high levels of quality. Flores added that the VER-
SAFLOW system was chosen because it is the only machine of its kind that can produce the required level of qual- ity within the first run of the demo. “The VERSAFLOW fulfills our need to manufacture our PCBs within a shorter window, which helps guaran- tee on-time deliveries to our cus- tomers,” he said. “It also allows us to successfully handle spikes in demand for our products while maintaining a high level of quality. Both of these fea- tures benefit us and our customers.” The VERSAFLOW platform is
described as the most repeatable sys- tem on the market with technology features that include servodriven gantry systems, expandable modular- ity, dual solder pots, fiducial recogni- tion, board warpage detection, process camera, auto nozzle cleaning, top- and bottom-side heating, and offline pro- gramming. Flores also notes that, in addition to delivering a system with such advanced technical features, Er- sa provides excellent customer serv- ice: “The customer service has been great. Chad Suckow performed our in- stallation and training and he contin- ues to support us whenever a question or need arises.” As it was in 1946, Gables Engi-
neering continues to provide cus- tomers with excellent, well-designed, and timely custom solutions. The com- pany currently maintains an active line-replaceable-unit (LRU) catalog of hundreds of part numbers, more than 100,000 examples of which can be found spread all around the globe with virtually every major operator on virtually every commercial aircraft produced over the last 50 years. Gables Engineering manufac-
tures a wide range of avionics controls and systems to meet its customers’ specific fleet requirements. The com- pany’s product line includes control panels for a variety of technologies in- cluding HF communications, VHF communications, VHF navigation, COMM/NAV and ATC/TCAS/flight ID, as well as radio tuning panels and digital audio systems. It also manu- factures a variety of specialty prod- ucts, including SELCAL control pan- els, smoke detection and fire suppres- sion panels, ELT control panels, emergency evacuation control panels, audio jack panels, cockpit speakers, remote ATC control modules, and weather-radar control panels.
