Features

The FX-972 enables you to operate two different soldering tools simultaneously, which is particularly advantageous for complex soldering tasks with different temperature requirements. The independent temperature control for both channels gives you maximum control over your soldering processes. With its high power, the station is also suitable for large components and demanding applications.

Maximum Flexibility Through 8 Different Handpiece Options

The FX-972 was designed for maximum versatility in professional use. With a total of eight different handpiece options, it offers an exceptional range of applications for almost any soldering requirement. The station is characterized by its compatibility with various soldering iron types, allowing it to be used efficiently for both delicate electronics work and more demanding soldering tasks.

The heart of the FX-972 is the intelligent 2-channel technology. A built-in sensor automatically recognizes the handpiece being used and switches to the corresponding channel without manual intervention. Particularly advantageous: While one handpiece is actively used, the second remains at the set temperature in standby. This innovative priority channel function enables seamless switching between different soldering applications without waiting times, significantly increasing work efficiency in professional electronics workshops.

Ergonomic Design with Thoughtful Control Functions

The particularly user-friendly design of the FX-972 was developed with a focus on optimal ergonomics and operability. An outstanding feature is the adjustable tilt of the housing, which enables an individually adjustable display angle. This allows the display to be optimally adjusted to different working heights and lighting conditions, significantly improving readability under various conditions.

The FX-972 features a PC software interface for traceability of the soldering process. This function allows integration into computer-assisted workflows and expands the application possibilities of the soldering station in professional environments. Additionally, the station supports infrared communication with the HAKKO tip thermometer, enabling precise temperature control and calibration.

Energy Efficiency and Safety Functions

For energy saving, the FX-972 features a configurable auto-sleep function that automatically reduces the temperature when the station is not used for a certain period. Additionally, an automatic shutdown function ensures that the soldering station is completely shut down after a preset time. These intelligent functions not only increase energy efficiency but also extend the life of the soldering tips and contribute to general operational safety.
