duction processes, and to manufacture the best possible products. Not only do employees benefit from Weller’s continuously reviewed and revised quality and reliability standards, but customers and the environment do as well — sustainably and for the good of all. Seals of quality, such as VDE, TÜV and com-
pliance with the RoHS and REACH environmental guidelines are obligatory for Weller Tools GmbH. The company’s environmental policy is based on DIN EN ISO 14001. The Weller work and health safety system has been adapted for compliance with OHSAS 18001. To minimize energy consumption, Weller has
equipped its products with both standby and auto-off modes. Weller soldering systems are motion-activat- ed — energy is consumed only when the tool is actu- ally in use. Connected auxiliary tools also go into standby mode when not in use, result- ing in significant energy savings. Health and safety also are key
elements to Weller’s success. A vari- ety of work processes including sol- dering, bonding, welding, and laser applications produce fine dust parti- cles and gases that are harmful to both users and the environment. Many countries now have statutory guidelines governing clean air in the workplace, which prescribe the treat- ment and avoidance of hazardous air- borne pollutants.
Transformer-based,
instant-heating soldering was developed by an
impatient American radio repairman who was tired
of waiting for his soldering gun to heat up.
The Weller philosophy is to pro-
tect its employees by extracting these fumes. Weller zero-smog fume extrac- tion systems are optimally designed to supply clean air to individual worksta- tions, resulting in active environmen- tal protection. Protecting the environ- ment is an integral part of the Weller philosophy, and the company is dedi- cated to the protection of the environ- ment and to the environmentally- friendly use of natural resources. The company’s team is committed
to solving customer problems and, as such, hires technology experts to create solutions that work. Should questions arise, customers speak directly to a specialist at Weller’s competence cen- ter. Cus tomer and partner training is accomplished with IPC-compliant workshops in its own training center or at customer sites. Weller Tools is part of the
umbrella company Apex Tool Group (ATG), LLC.
