ERSA IR/PL 650 XL

The World’s Most Powerful and Flexible
Big Board REWORK MACHINE!

The ERSA IR/PL 650 XL –
Rework Flagship Machine for Extra Large PCBs

For today’s rework operators working on large
PCBs, one truth remains constant – the rework
difficulty increases with the size of the PCB!
From a profitability standpoint, reworking large
PCBs represents a tremendous risk due to the
very high PCB price. One failed rework proce­dure could destroy a PCB thereby losing the
high material costs and follow-on profits!

With over 5,000 IR rework systems installed
worldwide, ERSA is one of the major players in
the industry. ERSA was given the challenge by
one of the world’s largest EMS companies to
design an optimal large board rework machine
to safely handle the toughest applications. ERSA
is now proud to introduce its flagship machine
for extra large PCBs, the ERSA IR/PL 650 XL.

PCBs up to 20” x 24” or 500 mm x 625 mm can
now be safely and rapidly reworked using one
of the industry’s largest & most powerful bottom
side heaters – an 8,000 W medium wavelength
IR heater measuring 500 mm x 625 mm! Total
system power is 9,200 W!

These extra powerful bottom & top heaters are
necessary for large boards, especially for
those which are thicker than 3 mm. Unless the
entire board area is efficiently preheated from
the bottom, such boards show the tendency of
bending and warping during the rework proce­dure. Divided into 5 separately controllable
bottom side heating zones and 4 top side
zones, the operator on the IR/PL 650 XL can
individually set the power supply to each zone
in order to find the optimal preheating condi­tions to minimize damage via board warpage.

In addition to the total size & power of the bot­tom heater, an important factor is the position
of the PCB over the bottom heater. The IR/
PL650 XL has a completely redesigned PCB
holder table which exposes the entire PCB to
the heater area.

No matter where the component to be repaired
is located on the board, the entire PCB is pre­heated! No cold spots means less warping!

IR/PL 650 XL

The large PCB table design guarantees that all
shapes of boards are carried in an optimal
manner. Top- and bottom side suppor t rails are
easy to insert and adjustable to the actual
rework task within minutes. The table includes
a 45° butterfly mechanism to lift the entire PCB
while it is inserted in the holder and thus pro­vides easy access to the bottom side. The
operator can easily attach thermo probes on
the bottom side, position the suppor t pins or
carry out other “down under” operations like
shielding heat sensitive components.

Finally, the IR/PL 650 XL has taken a com­pletely new approach to cooling as the larger
PCBs require a higher cooling volume. Similar

to ERSA’s wave soldering machines, this
rework machine has a new & highly efficient
compressed air cooling system.

Using an air tube which extends the entire
length of the bottom side heater, laminar flow
cooling takes place via very fine air outlets.
The air flow rate can be adjusted for a faster or
slower cooling gradient.

The bottom line is simple: investing in large
board rework equipment specifically designed
for the toughest applications will save money
in rework scrap reduction. The ERSA IR/PL
650 XL is currently the world’s most powerful
and flexible big board rework system!
