More than half a century of experience in soldering and superiority in innovation, allows Weller to take our customers to the next step in achieving production excellence. The new WTBR 1000 Benchtop Robot represents a one-of-a-kind synergy of precision, reliability, and productivity of soldering tasks.

In some regions of the US, free installation and onsite training is available from Weller. Please contact us for more information.

Highest soldering precision and superior reliability

• The WTBR 1000 is equipped with Weller‘s high performance Technology Line soldering tools, ensuring consistent quality of solder joints.
• The solder feeder is designed to be in close proximity to the workpiece (PCB), pulling the wire rather than pushing it through the feeder tube.
• The robust and sturdy construction ensures that no sudden movements or vibrations negatively affect the workpiece, the components or the tools.

Maximizing productivity, lowering cost

• A double drawer system allows continuous production thereby providing much higher process throughput, improving productivity and offering flexibility.
• The WTBR 1000 allows up to 50% cost saving versus hand soldering.

Easy to learn and use software

• The WTBR 1000 is operated with easy to learn and use software, enabling operators to start using the unit comfortably and quickly.
• It is easy to switch from one operator to another, with minimum time lost and without unnecessary training expenses.

Fully-enclosed system offers triple protection

• Being a fully-enclosed system, with integrated fume extraction, the WTBR 1000 Benchtop Robot allows our customers to achieve the highest level of safety: protecting the operator, the workpiece (PCB) and the machine.
• The fully-enclosed system provides a complete and CE-compliant solution to the customer.

The soldering head moves to the cleaning position and cleans the tip in the tip cleaner.

The soldering head leaves the cleaning position and moves to the working position.

Uniquely WELLER®: a small, precise amount of solder wire is smoothly pulled, not pushed (as is conventional practice) onto the hot soldering tip to create a good thermal bridge for the soldering process:

• The tip is in direct contact with the components to be soldered
• The temperature and force applied to the joint is controlled
• While heating, solder is added
• Programmed parameters precisely control the entire soldering process, including the solder wire‘s speed and quantity

The wire feeder is quickly retracted from the solder joint while the heat continues to be applied.

The soldering tip retracts from the solder joint and is ready for the next soldering task.

• The brushes start rotating
• Soldering tip moves down into the brushes, then moves sideways across the brushes (user defined)
• The tip remains for a period of time in the brushes (user defined)
• The soldering tip retracts out of the brushes
• The brushes stop rotating

Integrated fume extraction system protects operator, workpiece, and equipment

The increased production of fine dust and hazardous vapors by soldering processes brings forth the need to protect technical systems and components, which are increasingly particle sensitive, from contamination. And even more important: soldering byproducts are extremely dangerous to the operators, leading to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. That is why Weller integrated a high performance and energy efficient Weller fume extraction system into the WTBR 1000.

It retains or absorbs particles and gases preventing these from damaging the workpiece (PCB) and sensitive machine parts. Especially the camera lens is highly sensitive to damages caused by particles and gases. That means less wear out and less downtime negatively influencing manufacturing efficiency. Ultimately, the operators are fully protected from any exposure to hazardous substances.

The WTBR 1000 is operated by an easy to learn and use software to program special, customized settings for the operator‘s application. Weller has tailored a special training method which will enable your operator to promptly start using the system unit. This also allows you to switch from one operator to another with minimum downtime and without having to spend additional resources for expensive training sessions.

The integrated camera enables magnified, real-time and accurate inspection of process steps, facilitating high-precision soldering and superior quality control. It also facilitates teaching-in processes.

The integrated LED lights are designed to ensure superior quality illumination, the optimum contrast between light and dark areas needed to provide high quality images, as well as lower energy consumption.

Weller has equipped the WTBR 1000 with their finest Technology Line tools which allow you to obtain the best possible soldering results:
