1. Description
The soldering station WSF 80 D5 / D8 is part of a family of units developed for industrial
production technology, repair work and laboratory applications.
The soldering station contains an automatic filler wire feed system. The diameters of filler
wire that can be used are divided into two ranges and are determined by the type of soldering
iron used (0.5 mm – 0.8 mm for the WSF P5 soldering iron and 0.8 mm – 1.5 mm for the
WSF P8 soldering iron). The feed unit and control unit can be stacked to save space.
The control unit contains digital electronics for controlling the soldering iron control unit
(Channel 1) and the feed control unit (Channel 2). A microprocessor is used to obtain the best
possible temperature control response with different soldering tools and precise feed control
of the solder wire.
The temperature at the tip of the soldering iron (Channel 1) is displayed digitally and can be
smoothly adjusted within a range of 50°C - 450°C. A blinking red LED in the display is used
as a visual control check to signal that the preselected temperature has been reached. A
continuous signal indicates that the system is heating.
An integrated temperature monitoring circuit is used to evaluate various temperature states
via a floating contact.
The feed unit contains the mechanical drive for the solder feed and the soldering iron
connection for the wire lead. A wire holder that holds up to 1 kg of filler wire (max.) is also
included in the feed unit.
The mechanical drive adjusts automatically to the diameter of the wire.
The WSF soldering iron features an ergonomic design and a movable heating element. The
very powerful 80W heating element ensures that the soldering temperature is reached quickly
and precisely. The angle of the movable heating element can be adjusted at approximately
40° after loosening the locking bolt (20).

A general distinction is made between two types of solder feed system:
GB
Mode SFA - automatic:
In the operation mode SFA, the preset quantity of solder is fed by the activation of the finger
switch (optional: pedal switch or external contact). The required amount of solder can be
smoothly adjusted from approx. 1 – 10mm. The feed interval (Channel 2) is shown digitally.
Mode SFC - continuous:
In the operating mode SFC, the solder feed is activated for as long as the finger switch
(optional: pedal switch or external contact) is activated. The speed of the feed rate can be
smoothly adjusted and is shown digitally on Channel 2.
Various equipotential bonding possibilities for the soldering tip, zero voltage, and the antistatic
design of the soldering station complete the high standard of quality of this unit.
Additional functions and settings are possible at the soldering station using the optional
input devices WCB1 and WCB2. An integrated temperature gauge and PC interface are included
in the expanded scope of function of the input device WCB2.
