Hexacon's Heavy-Duty Series of Plug Tip Soldering Irons are the most rugged heavy-duty irons available for industrial hand soldering applications. They are specifically designed for continuous operation with fast heat recovery. The element outer case is machined from a solid piece of high strength, nickel plated alloy-steel and is practically indestructible. It's unique hexagonal shape allows it to be held in a vise or gripped with a wrench for maintenance without damaging the case or heating element. Unique to the Hexacon Heavy-Duty Series Iron is the energy-absorbing nut, securing the tip with its set screw, at the front of the iron,. This exclusive, purpose-designed, part "cushions" the jolt when a hot iron is dropped into its holder. Without the nut, all of the shock would impact on the element, reducing its lifetime, especially at high operating temperatures. As a result element life is extended significantly in Hexacon Heavy-Duty Irons. A heat interrupter/deflector assembly is standard on all except the smallest iron in this series. The assembly comprises three discs separated by spacing rivets. The front disk is welded to the case stem and the back disc is welded to the (separate) handle stem. Most of the space between each disc is occupied by free air. This unique design guarantees a cool, comfortable handle and permits the iron to be ten percent shorter, making it a well-balanced tool with good directionality. Hexacon Heavy Duty Series Plug Tip Irons are available in either the in-line style, "P" Series or as the popular, hatchet style, "H" Series. Hatchet irons, invented by Hexacon, reposition the center of gravity closer to the hand producing less turning moment on the wrist and shoulder. Ergonomic studies have shown that in-line irons require the use of the entire arm, whereas with the hatchet-style, all of the work is done by the forearm which effectively reduces operator fatigue. Hexacon Heavy-Duty Series Plug Tip Irons are supplied in wattages from 100 watts to 550 watts with tip diameters from 3/8" to 1-1/8". These irons are provided with long-life, Hexacon Xtradur Soldering Tips which have been industry's tip of choice for high speed, continuous duty soldering for many years. For intermittent soldering applications, the optional premium grade, Hexacon Durotherm Tip is recommended. The overleaf in this catalog presents a handy guide to assist in proper tip selection for iron and application. Contact our Customer Service team for complete information on choosing the correct Hexacon tip. All Hexacon Heavy-Duty Series Plug Tip Iron parts are easily replaceable and many of the individual parts are interchangeable from iron to iron. |
