i-CON Pico and i-CON Nano soldering stations have a footprint of 145mm x 80mm. i-CON Pico is intended for hobbyists; i-CON Nano reportedly meets all criteria for ESD protection and is intended for industrial use. Both stations can be configured using a microSD card. 80W soldering stations use ultra-light i-Tool soldering iron; available with a range of soldering tips. i-CON 1 and i-CON 2 are professional industrial soldering stations powering 150W i-Tool. Both stations are operated using a text display and i-Op control knob. Other soldering and de-soldering tools can be connected to i-CON 2. Are available with optional interface for an IR preheating plate or a solder fume extraction unit. i CON Vario 2 and i-CON Vario 4 are multichannel soldering and de-soldering stations equipped with i-Tool Air S, a 200W hot air soldering iron. One additional tool is connectable to Vario 2; three soldering and de-soldering tools can be operated in addition on Vario 4, which is reportedly ideal for soldering tasks in development, production, rework and maintenance. Both stations are equipped with standard control interfaces to an IR preheating station and a solder fume extraction unit.
