WELDING TIPS, TECHNOLOGIES AND MODELS: HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
In electronic welding, the tip is perhaps the most important element for achieving optimal results, as it is due to the onerous task of making the heat generated by the resistance to the area to be welded with maximum efficiency, be it a few tenths of a millimeter or a few centimeters.
This must be done quickly, bringing the right tool pressure, but without compromising the welding area (for example, due to excessive heat or too long heating times). Another important and often overlooked aspect is tip wearwhich should be the least possible in order to guarantee low maintenance costs and times (in this regard, we suggest the article on the durability of the tips found in the link at the bottom of this article).
We could not therefore avoid talking about Weller, which can include a very large product catalog, from short-styled smartphones and tablets repair (micro-welding and SMD welding) to 200W styles for heavy welding in industrial environments. Weller tips are designed at Weller’s German research and development center to meet the latest market needs.
The Weller soldering tip and heating element form a single body and therefore a perfect heating system to produce superior quality welding joints. The “Weller Genuine” soldering tips have an individual galvanic coating, in addition each Weller tip has been designed for a specific application and forms the perfect tool when combined with the correct soldering iron.
An optimal technology for miniature welding work that includes the heating element and the sensor system firmly integrated into the tip. In this way a rapid response to the lowering of the welding temperature is possible. These tools allow maximum performance and are ready to weld in just 3 seconds.
“Active Tip” technology offers:
- Optimum heat transfer and sensor technology
- Quick and easy tip replacement
- Optimum temperature recovery time
- Extremely short heating time
Weller welders with “Active Tip” technology are:
- Weller WXMP and WMRP with 40W power ideal for microscope welding
- Weller WXMT and WMRT micro tweezers with power of 2x40W ideal for
- welding and desoldering of very small SMD components.
