The new WTBR 1000 automated soldering system from Weller features a double drawer system allowing a much higher process throughput, improving productivity and flexibility while preventing any system downtime and unnecessary costs. Due to it being a fully enclosed system with an integrated fume extraction system (LL150), the system protects the operator, the workpiece (PCB) and the machine from dangerous contaminants which are a by-product of all soldering processes.
Ultra adjustable positioning of soldering iron and solder wire ensures precise soldering tasks. The robot can be mounted as a standalone unit on a frame or on a workbench – the bench-mounted robot model can be located near the production area and easily moved to other locations. It is possible to lock the drawers to have a large working area, and customer-specific fixtures can be provided. Automated tip cleaning system effectively reduces residue build-up for consistent process control and improved tip life.
The robust and sturdy construction ensures precise and repeatable motion. This automated soldering solution ensures that no sudden movements or vibrations negatively affect the workpiece, the components or the tools. The solder feeder is designed to be in close proximity to the PCB, and the solder wire is pulled (rather than pushed, as is the conventional practice) through the feeder tube. The WTBR 1000 is equipped with Weller’s finest Technology Line soldering tools to guarantee precision and reliability in soldering.
The system features camera technology for precise positioning and data capturing, and is operated by software that is easy to learn without any time loss or unnecessary training expenses.

A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
