Soldering station and soldering iron are the most commonly used electronic equipment by hardware engineers. Many engineers have used a lot of soldering iron tools in their careers. Maybe you will remember how you used to use tweezers and control solder wire with one hand at the same time. The same solder joint, different tools, different people, the effect of welding is completely different. Welding is really an art.
Before the appearance of electric soldering irons and electric soldering stations, there were already soldering iron tools. When using this 19th-century soldering iron, you first need to heat it on a fire, which can be used to heat and melt metals with lower melting points.
In the past 100 years, there were many professional brands:
Ersa: German brand, founded in Berlin in 1921. Ernst Sacha named and founded the ERSA company after connecting the first two letters of his surname and first name. This is the first factory to produce electric soldering irons. Ersa was the first to invent electric soldering irons. Now it is the overall welding solution provider for the electrical equipment industry.
Weller: German brand, during World War II, radio repairman Carl E. Weller used a low-voltage high-current power supply and a gun-type soldering iron, which heated up faster than a traditional electric soldering iron. At the end of the war in 1945, he formed the Weller Company to produce his invention. The company was a partnership between Carl, his three brothers and two wives. Weller went on to become the world's top manufacturer of welding equipment.
Metcal: American brand, the history of METCAL can be traced back to 1946. At the beginning, it focused on the processing of precision metal parts in the defense industry. In the 1980s, its strategy was adjusted to focus on the development, production and sales of its own circuit welding/rework stations. OK International predecessor.
JBC: Spanish brand, founded in 1929, focusing on welding equipment, JBC soldering iron tips give users the biggest feeling that they can be used without waiting (it only takes 2-3 seconds to rise to 350°C), and more time welding temperature drop is small. Long service life, and the low temperature welding is perfectly realized, which is very popular among high-end users.
HAKKO：Japanese brand, established In 1952 and began to produce and sell forging tools and solder. In the 1970s, it began to research ceramic heating cores and digital temperature control technology. HAKKO's products are widely used in the production lines of many domestic manufacturers and individual welding users, and the stability of the products is also very good.
AiXun：Chinese brand, founding in 2018. AiXun has targeted the development of precision soldering technology. AiXun completed the material selection, assembly, and electroplating processes for the soldering station's heating core in 2019 and 2020. The self-R&D heating core of electric soldering pens C115, C210, and C245 has been praised for its fast temperature rise, resistance to high temperatures, and long-term stability of the plating layer.
Special mention the AiXun T420D dual channel soldering station, which has several features:
• Support T245, T210 and T115 handles
• Quick heating to 380℃ in 2 seconds
• AC pure isolation, anti interference and static
• Professional ring transformer provides sufficient power.
• Smart identification system helps monitor the status of handles.
With so many brands of soldering stations introduced, how should we choose the soldering tools we use every day? What needs to be considered? Pay attention to the official website of AiXun, we will continue soon...
