A hot air gun sold into Germany and the same gun sold into Texas are two different part numbers in our system, because the transformer, the plug and the certification marking all differ. The same is true for soldering stations, regulated power supplies, air purifiers and screen machines.
How the variants are listed
Each machine that is mains-powered appears once per variant. A typical example from the rework line:
- Rework station, 220V, national standard plug
- Rework station, 220V, European plug
- Rework station, 110V, US plug
About 51 part numbers in the current list carry a voltage or plug marker, including 21 with a 220V variant and 11 with a 110V variant. Some machines also differ by mounting — a side-hanging bracket or a bench stand — which is again a separate part number.
What to send with an enquiry
- 1The part number if you have one. It settles the question instantly.
- 2If you are working from a name, add the voltage and plug standard you need.
- 3The destination country. Some certification markings are only valid in certain markets, and we will tell you if a variant is not available for yours.
Adapters are not a substitute
We do not recommend running a 110V machine on a 220V supply through an external transformer. The heat-up curve of a hot air station is calibrated to its input, and a converted supply changes the temperature response. Where a market needs 110V we build a 110V machine.
