Versaflow 40 50 Selective Soldering

Provisional entry — research in progress

This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.

The ERSA Versaflow 40/50 is a selective soldering machine for printed circuit board assembly. The Versaflow 40/50 features a single-point high-precision solder wave with a smallest nozzle diameter of 4.5 mm and a stainless steel solder pot integrated in a 3-axis positioning system.[1]

What it is

The ERSA Versaflow 40 50 Selective Soldering is a selective soldering machine in the ERSA Versaflow family.[2][3][1]

How it works

The ERSA Versaflow 40 50 Selective Soldering uses a selective spray fluxer, bottom-side infrared preheating, and a selective mini-wave soldering module. The machine uses servo-driven positioning axes for fluxing and soldering, and the solder module uses a single-point high-precision solder wave.[1]

The ERSA Versaflow 40 50 Selective Soldering supports nitrogen injection over the solder bath and records process data through industrial-PC control.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Selective soldering belongs in electronic assembly after board placement and before final inspection or test. The machine is used for boards that need solder joints formed at specific locations without soldering the entire assembly in one pass.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Selective soldering is used for electronic assemblies that require localized solder joints on printed circuit boards. The process is suited to mixed assemblies where solder must be applied to specific through-hole or board-area locations rather than to the full board.
