– 3-port rework station
– Accepts 9 types of application
Features
FX-971 series 3-port rework station
All nine types of handpieces can be used on any port, and a desoldering unit is included as standard. Flexible configuration options enable optimal combinations to meet the demands of various applications and workpieces.

Cycle time reduced by approx. 40%
It enables soldering in a shorter time and improves work efficiency.

High Visible Display
It shows information such as set temperature, tip’s sensor temperature, and preset setting, clearly and widely.
The viewing angle is wide, and the high-brightness display provides high visibility.

Priority Channel
A built-in sensor detects the handpiece in use and automatically switches channels. The unused handpiece stands by at the set temperature. And the operation delay does not occur after channel switching achieving maximum power with minimum size of station.

Infrared Communication
Automatic calibration and correction can be completed by transmitting the measurement data from the thermometer (FG-100B/FG-101B) to the main unit, via infrared.

Software
By connecting the station to a PC, the set temperature of the hot air, calibration/correction, and the hot air temperature history during operation can be recorded on the PC. Enables management with zero human error.

Auto Sleep function / Auto Shutoff function
The built-in sensor of the tip inside makes it possible to use auto-sleep and auto-shutoff functions without connecting the station and the iron holder, and it helps to lay out the station and iron holder freely in the working space.

Soldering iron FX-9701
Equipped with a New Composite Tip (*Patent Registered)
Designed to improve sensor sensitivity and efficiently transfer heat from the heater to the tip, ensuring stable tip temperature and enabling more precise and reliable soldering.

Well-balanced grip for excellent workability
The easy-to-use grip backs up the lineup of tips that can be used for all kinds of operations.
Slim cable design allows for easy handling.

Desoldering tool FR-4103
140 W High-Power Heater
– Optimized for Solder Removal on Multilayer PWBs
Heating power almost 3 times increased! ※1
Solder extraction on multilayer PWBs, once challenging, is now stress-free. Improvements in the heater and the use of ACF ※2 ensure that the extracted solder is reliably conveyed to the filter pipe, reducing solder clogging.
*1 Compared to our previous models
*2 ACF (Anti Clogging Function) is a feature that automatically operates the pump for a certain number of seconds after releasing the trigger.



Secure Desoldering – High suction power with precise valve control
Suction activates just 0.2 seconds after peak vacuum is reached, enabling rapid and powerful extraction while minimizing residual solder.

Clogging Indicator
LED indicator shows suction status enabling to know the timing of cleaning, replacement of filter and maintenance.

Connectable applications to the FX-973
9 different applications can be used without specifying the connecting port.
