Professional 3-port rework station

EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The Hakko FX-973 is a high-performance, multi-functional electronics rework station ideal for PCB assembly, repair, and precision soldering/desoldering tasks. It features three independent ports that accept up to nine different handpiece types, giving you exceptional flexibility for a wide range of applications including fine micro-soldering, heavy-duty soldering, and desoldering.

With a powerful 400 W output and wide temperature range of 50°C to 500°C, the station delivers stable heat for consistent joint quality and efficiency. An integrated vacuum pump with strong suction supports quick and effective desoldering tasks, while LED clogging indicators help you monitor maintenance needs.

The FX-973’s high-visibility display clearly shows the temperature setpoint and actual tip temperatures, and the priority channel function automatically detects the active handpiece, keeping unused tools ready at set temperatures to reduce workflow delays.

Infrared communication and PC software support enable automatic calibration, temperature history logging and error-free management of settings from your computer.

This station is well suited for electronics technicians, engineers, and advanced hobbyists who demand a versatile, reliable rework tool.
