Weller Tip Recycling Program

Weller has launched a reycling program for used, worn out tips.

By recycling the copper and iron from used tips, we can make a real contribution towards helping the environment and preserving its natural resources.

Weller wants you to collect your worn out soldering tips, all types from all manufacturers, send them to Weller and they will arrange for their environmentally safe recycling.

As a bonus Weller is offering the following incentive:
This will benefit the environment but it will also benefit you because for every 2 lbs. of worn out tips you send to Weller you will receive a $75.00 voucher to be used against your next purchase of Weller Brand tips.

Weller Volume Fume Extraction System WFE2ES

Are your employees breathing harmful airborne pollutants?

Testing conclusively proves that soldering with lead-free alloys creates a level of breathable airborne pollutants which exceeds the safety threshold set by OSHA (see diagram). Weller’s WFE2ES Volume Fume Extraction System is a viable solution for use in apllications such as micro soldering, solder baths, hot air soldering, and adhesive applications.

Key features of the WFE2ES:

Purifies the air at a soldering workbench

Puratex compact H12 HEPA Filter plus Wide Band Gas Filter

Class F5 Fine Dust Filter

Guaranteed to remove 99.5% of particulates up to 0.3 micrometers

Low noise emission – less than 55 dBA

Powerful brushless and maintenance free turbine

The WFE2ESKIT includes the Weller Zero-Smog Volume Fume Extractor and all the accessories needed for one operator. However, for a limited time, order the WFE2ESKIT Volume Fume Extraction Kit and receive a second free accessory kit for an additional operator’s use – a $190 value! Contains all of the accessories needed for the set-up of two operators. The WFE2ESKIT improves the soldering precess by capturing the particles and pollutants produced and provides the operator with a safe, clean, and comfortable working environment.

Each accessory kit includes:

Fume Extraction Hose

WFFMP50 – Sytem Seal

WFTB50 – Bench Mounting Bracket

Hose Clamps (2)

WFAF50 – Extraction Arm with 50 mm Funnel

Technical Specifications:

Voltage – 115/120 VAC – 50/60 Hz

Dimensions – 12.6″ x 12.6″ x 15.6″

Electrical Power – 115 VA

Noise Level – 52 db (A) at a distance of 1 m

Maximum Pressure – 0.26 psi (1800 Pa)

Maximum Airflow – 220 m³/h

Weller Releases New WD1002T Solder Station

Weller’s industry leading WD1002 Soldering Station just got better – Introducing the WD1002T. The Weller WD1002T Soldering Station will extend tip life during lead-free applications. Soldering at its best!

New from Weller the WD1002T is a microprocessor controlled soldering station which is ideally suited for use in repair and laboratory environments as well as for production, design and R&D applications. The WD1002T is based on Weller’s highly successful WD1002 station. The WD1002T gives users the same extensive functionality of the WD1 control unit and the WP80 iron’s short tip to grip dimensions but, with the added benefits of the new WDH10T safety stand with Stop + Go functionality and integrated WDC2 dry tip cleaner. Temperature offset, temperature set back level and time as well as temperature lockout can all be programmed from the WD1 control unit. Using the WDH10T Stop + Go safety stand in conjunction with the WD1 control unit results in the automatic return of the soldering iron to its set back temperature when it is placed in the safety stand. When the iron is removed from the safety stand it will be automatically reset to its operating temperature. This process will extend the working life of the tip.

A WDC2 dry tip cleaner has been integrated into the WDH10T saving valuable bench space. The use of the dry cleaner reduces surface oxide build up and maintains the thermal efficiency of the soldering tip. This allows the soldering iron to operate at lower temperatures which also increases tip life and reduces operating costs.

WD1002T Soldering Station Includes:

WD1M – Power Supply and Power Cable

WP80 – 80 Watt Soldering Pencil with Short Tip-to-Grip

WDH10T – Stop + Go Stand

WDC2 – Dry Cleaner – Fits into WDH10T Stand
