A soldering iron with temperature profiling, comprising a hand piece or a robot arm including a soldering tip; a processor configured to provide temperature profiling where the soldering tip is one or more of the following during a soldering event: provided at a fixed tip temperature ramp rate during the soldering event; and provided at an adjustable tip temperature ramp rate during the soldering event.

A soldering and de-soldering station and systems including enhanced features for the soldering heating tools, load detection functionality, tip management, automatic tip temperature calibration, cartridge/handle position and movement sensing and interactive capabilities.

The disclosure includes a heat-staking device comprising a base, an upright arm coupled to the base, and a head vertically movable along the upright arm. In some embodiments, the head includes a main head unit, a quill coupled to the main head unit, an insulating tip holder coupled to the quill and configured to removably retain a thermal-installation tip, and a handle configured to cause vertical motion of the insulating tip holder. The quill may also include a soldering iron configured to heat the thermal-installation tip. In some embodiments, the heat-staking device is configured to swap out thermal-installation tips while the thermal-installation tips are still hot.

A hand-held heating tool includes a handle unit, a pivot unit, a positioning unit, and a heating unit. The handle unit has a recess and a positioning portion. The pivot unit is pivotally connected to the handle unit and has a guiding groove and an abutment section. The positioning unit includes a positioning member, a control member, and an elastic member arranged between the control member and the abutment section. The control member is movably arranged in the guiding groove to actuate the positioning member to move relative to the recess so that the positioning member is selectively engaged with the positioning portion for adjusting a relative angle between the handle unit and the heating unit.

A heating tool having a temperature sensor fixed within a tip of the heating tool with maximum heat conductivity to the temperature sensor.

A soldering tool includes a housing having a handle portion defining a first longitudinal axis, and a head portion coupled to the handle portion and defining a second axis. The soldering tool further includes a heating element coupled to the head portion for movement therewith. The head portion is movable relative to the handle portion between a first orientation in which the second axis is coaxial with the first axis, and a second orientation in which the second axis is non-coaxial with the first axis.

An intelligent soldering handpiece comprising a housing; a solder tip; a heater for heating the solder tip; a processor for receiving an image of a solder joint being soldered by the intelligent soldering handpiece, determining solder joint information, and associating the image of the solder joint with the determined solder joint information to distinguish the determined solder joint information for each respective joint.

A self-standing tool includes a body and a tool head. The body includes front and rear ends spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis. The body further includes a lamp seat projecting from an outer periphery thereof surrounding the longitudinal axis. A side of the lamp seat distant from the body has a supporting portion. The center of gravity of the body is located between the rear end and a virtual reference plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and passing through the supporting portion. A lighting member is disposed on a side of the lamp seat adjacent to the front end. The tool head includes a first end connected to the front end and a second end distant from the body. The second end of the tool head has a head end located in a projection area of light emitted from the lighting member.

A heating tool having a temperature sensor fixed within a tip of the heating tool with maximum heat conductivity to the temperature sensor.

A hand-held heating tool includes a handle unit, a pivot unit, a positioning unit, and a heating unit. The handle unit has a recess and a positioning portion. The pivot unit is pivotally connected to the handle unit and has a guiding groove and an abutment section. The positioning unit includes a positioning member, a control member, and an elastic member arranged between the control member and the abutment section. The control member is movably arranged in the guiding groove to actuate the positioning member to move relative to the recess so that the positioning member is selectively engaged with the positioning portion for adjusting a relative angle between the handle unit and the heating unit.
