Yes, the HAKKO FX-973 is designed for soldering and vacuum desoldering at a single workstation. The FR-4103 desoldering tool included in the kit extracts fully molten solder directly from the solder joint, eliminating the need for a separate desoldering station. The 140-W handpiece is compatible with N61 series desoldering nozzles. An integrated dual-cylinder vacuum pump generates the vacuum; the extracted solder is collected in the filter tube. After the trigger is released, the pump continues to run briefly to assist with solder removal and reduce clogging.

The FX-97X stations differ primarily in the number of ports, total power output, and range of applications. The FX-971 is a compact soldering station with one port and 100 W. The FX-972 offers two ports and a total of 200 W for a flexible workstation with two connected soldering tools. The FX-973 combines three ports, 400 W of total power, and integrated desoldering technology. With the FX-971, the focus is on either a standard, micro, or N2 handpiece. The FX-972 additionally supports SMD and micro tweezers as well as high-performance handpieces, although certain high-power tools cannot be active simultaneously. The FX-973 incorporates this range of tools and supplements it with the FR-4103 vacuum desoldering tool.

In short: The FX-971 is designed for a compact single-station setup, the FX-972 for two soldering tools that can be flexibly combined, and the FX-973 for a combined soldering and desoldering workstation.

The right HAKKO soldering station depends on the thermal load, the tools required, and the process requirements. The FX-971 is suitable for a compact single workstation with a standard, micro, or N2 handpiece. The dual-channel FX-972 allows for two permanently connected soldering tools and also supports SMD and micro tweezers as well as high-performance handpieces. The FX-805 is designed for large thermal masses, while the FX-973 is intended for combined soldering and vacuum desoldering. The FN-1010 is the right choice for applications with high requirements for traceability and process data logging. Both the handpiece and the tip series must be compatible with the station.

Precise solder wire feeding ensures that the correct amount of solder is delivered to the joint in a controlled manner. This promotes stable solder joints and reproducible results in the automated soldering process.

With the FU-500 and FU-601, Hakko offers an auto-soldering system for automated soldering processes. The FU-500 handles the precise feeding of solder wire, while the FU-601 serves as a high-performance soldering unit for robotic soldering.

The Hakko FX-971 is a compact 1-port soldering station ideal for precise SMD soldering. For varying applications, rework, or component removal, the FX-972 offers greater flexibility as a 2-port station. For particularly versatile workstations with multiple tools, the FX-973, a 3-port station, is the ideal solution.

Hakko offers soldering stations, soldering irons, micro-soldering irons, soldering tweezers, soldering tips, and rework systems for a variety of manual soldering applications. This allows professional workstations to be tailored to the requirements of electronics manufacturing.

SMD solder joints are small and sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Stable temperature control helps maintain consistent wetting, contact time, and heat exposure. This reduces the risk of cold solder joints, component damage, or detached pads.

The right HAKKO soldering tip depends on the component geometry, contact area, and thermal mass. Various geometries and tip series are available for SMD work, rework, or large contact areas. If you’re unsure, you can use the soldering tip finder or ask for advice on the right choice.

Active soldering tips are often used for SMD applications because they quickly compensate for temperature losses and enable precise heat transfer.
