The FX-100 soldering system from Hakko controls induction heat soldering via a microprocessor that boosts the recovery performance of the soldering iron tip. Its advanced design optimises performance by reducing loss of power in the system while maintaining the lowest EMI levels to meet applicable standards e.g. for work with sensitive devices.
Operating the station is as simple as plugging it in and switching it on, with no calibration required. Its user selectable power activity display provides constant dynamic feedback to the operator about the thermal load on the soldering iron tip, while a tip sleep function reduces tip temperature to extend life and reduce oxidation when the iron is not in use.
Meeting or exceeding requirements under IPC J-STD-001, ANSDI ESD S20.20 and older MIL-STDs, the FX-100 offers user programmable profiles for tip and solder selection, as well as password lockout to prevent unauthorised system setup changes. A built-in activity monitor provides cumulative data on tip heater loads and tip running time to aid in process control and managing operating costs.
