BOOTH # 1545

Kyzen will be exhibiting at APEX 2023 in San Diego, CA at Booth #1545. At the Kyzen booth you can discuss your cleaning application(s) and find all the answers you need for your cleaning process and more! 

For APEX, we will highlight our combination of Chemistry and Process Control. KYZEN’s mission is to offer solutions to your entire cleaning process. AQUANOX A4626, our newest aqueous cleaning solution, and the KYZEN PCS make this possible. With the power of a tried-and-true process, and new, fresh cleaning chemistry, science and care converge to help solve your problems.

We will be conducting KYZEN Process Control System (PCS) live demos at the booth. Cleaning reliability comes from a balanced and optimized process, the KYZEN PCS can help you get there!

Come by Booth #1545 and see for yourself. If your schedule is tight, make sure to book a time to experience a live display of the PCS. Our team will be on hand to answer any questions concerning your cleaning needs. Schedule a PCS Demo below:

BOOTH # 1301

Kurtz Ersa, Inc. is participating as a leading supplier of electronics production equipment in North America at IPC APEX EXPO 2023, Jan. 24–26, at the San Diego Convention Center in California.

Customers will receive customized demonstrations in wave soldering, reflow soldering, selective soldering, rework equipment, hand soldering, additive manufacturing, I4.0 connectivity and more during the show.

Kurtz Ersa Selective Soldering Systems

A market leader in the Selective Soldering industry Kurtz Ersa will have two of their Selective Soldering platforms on display at the show. Both the VersaFlow 4 (pictured on the left) and the VersaFlow ONE (pictured on the right) will be on display. Both featuring the Kurtz Ersa electromagnetic pump with the 360 degree flow nozzle (pictured center) giving you the ultimate control and repeatability of your selectively soldered solder joints.

Solder Smart - 0SR500 Solder Robot



The proven Ersa technology enables the production of high-quality solder joints with consistently high quality and reproducibility.

The Ersa SOLDER SMART works with the powerful i-TOOL soldering iron, which has been proven thousands of times in the industry. Its heating power of 150 W enables rapid soldering processes at a stable soldering temperature and the use of very fine soldering tips from 0.4 mm to wide tips up to 5 mm and more!

Powerflow Ultra

With top technology and modular design, Ersa wave soldering systems meet the highest throughput requirements - perfectly tailored to every need and budget. In the maximum expansion stage, PCBs up to 850 mm in length can be soldered and thus used to process server boards for 5G telecommunications. A class of its own, a class of yours!

Come see the Powerflow Ultra and let us discuss your Wave Soldering needs to see which system is best suited for your application!

Kurtz Ersa Reflow Soldering Systems

Since their introduction into the market nearly 30 years ago, Ersa reflow ovens have been setting the industry standard for high-end reflow machines. The current HOTFLOW series marks the benchmark - with 25% savings in total energy and 20% reduced N2 consumption. The flagship Ersa HOTFLOW 4/26 provides 26 zones and a process length of more than 7 meters. The smallest reflow oven - the HOTFLOW 4/8 - achieves eight zones and 3.26 meter process length.

ALPHA 140



With the Alpha 140, Ersa combines innovative additive manufacturing technology with particularly simple operation at low system costs.

The 3D printer offers an optimal solution for the tool-free production of metal parts, especially for small and medium-sized companies. Complex structures with maximum geometric freedom can be mapped quickly and cost-effectively. Thanks to the open system, the customer can individually adjust the process parameters in the slicer.

i-CON TRACE

The award-winning Ersa i-CON TRACE is the world´s first IoT soldering station that enables seamless traceability during manual soldering. With integrated WLAN, Bluetooth and network card on board, the i-CON TRACE already offers 100% connectivity in digitally networked manufacturing processes when delivered.

The possible MES connection allows the integration and storage of soldering parameters in complex manufacturing processes that already run via an MES. The i-CON TRACE impresses with maximum performance at minimum operating costs.

BOOTH # 2133

Components are getting smaller and smaller, and Our Electronics are playing a greater-than-ever role in our daily lives. Reliability matters more than ever. Magnalytix® is at the forefront of an ongoing revolution in cleanliness reliability testing, bringing a new level of consistency and confidence to manufacturers and OEMs.

Remember the ROSE test? An industry standard for decades, it is no longer accepted by IPC J-STD as adequate objective evidence of product quality. Our flagship solution, the Magnalytix OE-250 delivers the objective evidence reliability standard required by the new IPC J-STD-001G-Am1. If you are an electronics assembly shop manufacturing to J-STD-001G-Am1, Magnalytix can help you with your reliability testing challenges.

Magnalytix OE-250 is the only SIR (Surface Insulation Resistance) Electrical Test Tool designed for the shop floor. Until today, advanced SIR test hardware was only accessible from offsite laboratories. Now, it can sit directly on your shop floor and measure reliability in real-time, where you are, when you need it. Sending out and waiting for your SIR tests are now a thing of the past!

Real-time data is delivered directly after a test is run, and any deviations from your preset, acceptable ranges are communicated via text or email for instant notification. No more weeks-long delays waiting for test results and risking valuable production time and resources during the “data gap”, and no more worrying that your products are unreliable or dangerous, while you wait for test results. This “plug ‘n play” design offers the solution to achieving Objective Evidence in real-time.



The interpreted, easy to understand reporting supplied by the Magnalytix OE-250 also includes recommendations for troubleshooting undesirable results, significantly reducing delays.
