Weller WHA 900 Hot air station

Weller (they make some of the best soldering irons) has a new air rework station. We covered some hot air tools today, and this just popped up from the Weller blog. Price: $499 —

The WHA900 maintains nozzle temperature, regardless of the air flow rate. That’s because the built-in closed-loop temperature feedback control, which uses a sensor at the nozzle, instantly adjusts the heat output to maintain the temperature level you have selected.

The WHA900 is the only unit in its class that has a temperature air flow and temperature setback feature that can be pre-selected by the user.

Weller nozzle technology uses conducted heat from an integral hot plate in the nozzle to heat the defective component to a temperature just below the solder melting point. Hot air is then directed precisely on to the legs of the component to melt the solder joint, allowing removal of the component.

*This not an ad, we don’t get paid for this, but I would like to convince Weller to do a booth at Maker Faire – I think the attendees would love that.
