OUR WX TEAM
One platform – up to every challenge
The five specialists from the Weller WX Team will solve all your problems to do with soldering, desoldering and the use of hot-air in your manufacturing process. The entire WX team offers full WX tool compatibility, tried-and-tested benchtop functions and all essential traceability features.
All advantages of the WX Team at a glance
Use as benchtop controller
Integrated USB ports allow WX stations to be connected to and to control soldering fume extractors, pre-heat plates and programmable logic controllers (PLC). The connected tools feed back their parameters and status to the display.
Safe manual soldering
Weller WX stations make the manual soldering process safer, a crucial factor in the automobile, aerospace and medical technology industries. This is guaranteed by temperature and tool locking, and tool-specific temperature settings.
Intelligent tool detection
All connected tools and accessories are detected automatically by the stations and their name(s) shown on the display.
Multifunctional USB port
Firmware updates and registration are quick and easy using USB sticks. User-friendly PC interface.
Integrated parameter memory
Parameters such as standby temperatures and automatic switch-off time can easily be stored in the soldering iron. Parameters only need to be stored once; the soldering iron can then use them with any WX station.
Maximum safety, maximum flexibility
A unique equipotential bonding connection is provided free of charge. The jack sleeve has 4 possible settings: hard earthed, equipotential bonding, floating and soft earthed.
ESD safe
All WX devices are ESD-safe and can be used in EPA regions.
Huge energy savings Usage sensor
Thanks to an integrated sensor, WX tools are motion activated. This means that they consume power only when they are actually in use. Connected accessories also go into standby mode.
Traceability
All WX stations are traceable and can be integrated into an existing traceability process.
Extremely short learning curve
Multi-language menu guide: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Mandarin. Other languages can be implemented on request.
Robot output
A digital, optically decoupled robot connection comes as standard.
Traceability by Weller
The demand for retraceable process reliability (traceability) is increasing in specific branches of industry, such as the electronics sector or automotive sector. Finished products need to be retraceable and identifiable at all stages throughout the supply chain, right down to the individual component. In this way, it is possible to quickly isolate sources of error and defects in the final product and start selective recall campaigns. Traceability optimises processes within the company and reduces cost.
Weller is traceability qualified
The following shows the workflow of a serial number oriented production process using Weller soldering equipment (WX station). The workflow includes interactions of the operator and the dialogue between the traceability systems and the equipment (WX soldering station).

WX 1 and WX 2
Advantages at a glance
Visual process control
through LED signal function Blue LED ring light (light is out = Off, light is blinking = Standby or Heating Up, light is on = tip ready for use)
Tailor-made performance
Weller heating technologies deliver precise performance on demand.
Quick heating time
WX soldering irons heat in ultra-quick time and can be used immediately.
Temperature stability/accuracy
All WX Soldering tools have a temperature stability of ± 2° C and a temperature accuracy of ± 9° C, as per IPC standard.
Intuitive operation
The robust touch screen is a capacitive touch panel made of real glass. It is anti-static and temperature-resistant. The turn-and-click wheel with confirm button allows intuitive operation.
Huge energy savings, Motion sensor
Thanks to an integrated sensor, WX tools are motion activated. This means that they consume power only when they are actually in use. Connected accessories also go into standby mode.
WXA 2 Hot-Air station
Advantages at a glance
Adjustable air amount
The amount of air can be controlled using the rotary knob. An external compressed air supply is needed. The amount of air is displayed in percent.
Finger and foot switches
The air flow is controlled using the finger switch in the handle. It can also be controlled by a foot switch (optional).
Maximum flexibility
The comprehensive nozzle selection makes the WXHAP 200 Hot-air soldering pencil suitable for a wide range of applications. Flat and round nozzles, dual and quad nozzles.
Ion trap
All WX devices are ESD-safe and can be used in EPA regions. The ion trap in the iron ensures that the emerging hot-air is free of static electricity.
Inert gas operation
An inert gas (nitrogen) can also be used for challenging soldering jobs to generate the hot-air.
Adjustable operating mode
The unit has 3 separate operating modes.
Operating mode level 1
the air flow continues for as long as the button on the hot-air iron or foot switch is pressed.
Operating mode level 2
if the button is pressed once, the hot-air flow continues for between 0 and 300 seconds, stopping at the end of the set time.
Operating mode level 3
the WXHAP 200 switches on with one press of the button and off with the second press.
WXD 2 Desoldering Station at a Glance
External compressed air supply
The maintenance-free Venturi unit produces a constant vacuum via an external compressed air supply. A separate compressed air supply is needed.
Fastest desoldering iron
With its 120 Watts and extremely short heating time, the desoldering iron can easily handle jobs that would have been difficult in the past, including desoldering high mass PCBs.
No tedious cleaning
The new, extended nozzle shaft prevents the suction tube sticking. Since the suction channel has also been replaced, the once tedious and time-consuming task of cleaning the tool is now a thing of the past.
Quick replacement
Thanks to ingenious mountings, the suction nozzle and solder cartridge can be changed quickly and easily – without the risk of burning or tricky replacement work.
Huge cost savings
The relatively low operating temperature (380°C) and automatic standby mode controlled by the use sensor increase the service life of the suction nozzles by a factor of 3.
User-friendly handling
An ergonomically-shaped Softgrip handle with integrated finger switch makes for efficient operation. The short distance between the solder cartridge and the Softgrip handle prevents the tool from twisting while held in the hand.
Vacuum run-on
A vacuum run-on time can be set to prevent the suction pump blocking.
2 models are available
The WXDP 120 is designed for horizontal operation and the WXDV 120 for vertical operation.
