Soldering, Desoldering, Rework StationsSoldering, desoldering, and rework stations are tools that are used to solder, desolder, and rework electronic components and circuits. A soldering station is a tool that is used to apply heat and solder to join electronic components and circuit boards together. A desoldering station is a tool that is used to remove solder from electronic components and circuit boards in order to disassemble or repair them. And a rework station is a tool that combines soldering and desoldering capabilities, and is used to modify or repair electronic circuits. Soldering, desoldering, and rework stations typically consist of a heating element, such as a soldering iron or hot air gun, and a temperature controller to regulate the temperature of the heating element. They may also include other features, such as a vacuum pump for removing excess solder, or a microscope for working on small components.
