A 1948 advertisement for a Weller soldering gun. Pistol-grip electrically-heated soldering tools had been used since the 1920s. In 1941 Carl E. Weller invented and later obtained U.S. patent 2,405,866 [1] for a transformer-based soldering tool which heated and cooled rapidly, [2] essentially as described in this article.
In 1946, Carl E. Weller applied for a patent for his soldering gun that could heat instantaneously and began production of the "Speedy Iron" in Pennsylvania. [12] It was manufactured through the Weller Manufacturing Company, and this product was the first instantaneous thermal soldering gun.
A ColdHeat soldering iron. ColdHeat was an American company founded to develop and market products using the proprietary graphite -like compound Athalite. The composite material is claimed by the manufacturer to have the unusual ability to conduct large amounts of heat and return to room temperature in a short amount of time.
Soldering station. A soldering station is a multipurpose power soldering device designed for electronic components soldering. This type of equipment is mostly used in electronics and electrical engineering. Soldering station consists of one or more soldering tools connected to the main unit, which includes the controls (temperature adjustment ...
Soldering. Desoldering a contact from a wire. Soldering (US: / ˈsɒdərɪŋ /; UK: / ˈsoʊldərɪŋ /) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong ...
Acopian Center for the Environment at the American University of Armenia in Yerevan. After graduation, Acopian was employed by Weller Electric Corp., where he designed a power sander and a soldering gun that later became two of their main products. [3]
A soldering iron provides a constant, sometimes regulated heat source. Soldering guns provide a trigger to quickly turn the heat on and off. That's a difference big enough to justify keeping the articles separate. Shootthedevgru ( talk) 03:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC) [ reply] They tools aren't used for the same things.
