High-power soldering station

28 May 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The WD 1000HPT soldering station from Weller features the new 120 W high-power WP 120 soldering iron.

The soldering iron combines a compact, powerful heating element with a replaceable soldering tip. The rapid transfer of heat into the soldering tip is quickly and precisely controlled with sophisticated electronics which allows the WP 120's compact design to cope with big and difficult solder joints even at barely accessible joints. It is also suitable for HF shield plates or solar panel manufacturing.

The microprocessor-controlled WD 1M power unit has a number of built-in functions such as preset temperatures, individual settings for setback and USB connectivity, which make it ideally suited for use in production, rework and laboratory environments.

A special tip life saving function is automatically activated when the soldering iron is placed into the WDH 10T safety rest. By removing the iron from the rest, the tip temperature is restored immediately to the set working level.
