Fume Extractions

Extraction arms

Extraction arms capture solder fume, laser fume and vapours at the point of origin and route them to the fume extractor or a central extraction system. This category covers articulated and flexible arms from Alsident, Weller, Donaldson Bofa, Ersa, Oki, Quick, Hakko, JBC and ULT. The arms differ in connection diameter (DN50, DN63, DN75 and DN100), number of joints, reach (from 545 to 1660 mm in the Alsident range) and mounting on bench, wall or ceiling. ESD versions are available for protected workstations.

How to choose Extraction arms

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Selection criteria

Criterion	What to look for	Example from the range
Connection diameter	The diameter must match the fume extractor or duct; larger diameters move more air.	Alsident DN50, DN63, DN75 and DN100
Reach	Choose an arm that brings the nozzle close to the solder joint without tension.	Alsident 50-8787-3-5 with 1660 mm, Weller 0F20 with 2 m
Joints or flex arm	Articulated arms hold their position even at long reach; flex arms are compact and quick to reposition.	Alsident System 50 Flex, Ersa 0CA10-4001 Highflex 500 mm
Mounting	Bench mounting for single workstations, wall or ceiling mounting to keep the work surface clear.	Alsident 100-5545-3-6 for wall and ceiling mounting
Capture element	Select nozzle, funnel or flat hood according to the size of the emission source.	Donaldson Bofa A1081005 with flat hood
ESD	Use a dissipative version inside the EPA.	Alsident 75-35-1-6 ESD, Quick KAA4-50
System compatibility	Check the connection system of the fume extractor.	Weller Easy-Click 60, Donaldson Bofa for WLA 250

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Extraction arms

Which diameter should an extraction arm have?

The diameter depends on the connection of the fume extractor and the required airflow. The range includes arms with DN50, DN63, DN75 and DN100; the Alsident DN75 arms, for example, are rated for 80-180 m³/h.

What is the difference between an articulated arm and a flex arm?

Articulated arms consist of tube segments with joints and hold their position even at longer reach. Flex arms are hose-type, compact and suited to short distances at a single workstation.

Do I need an ESD extraction arm at an ESD workstation?

Inside an EPA, all parts close to the assembly should be dissipative. ESD extraction arms are available from Alsident, Donaldson Bofa and Quick, among others.

Do the extraction arms fit every fume extractor?

Not automatically. Many arms are designed for a specific connection system, such as Weller Easy-Click 60, Donaldson Bofa WLA 250 or Quick filter station 6101 and 6102. Check diameter and connection before ordering.

Which mounting options are available?

Depending on the model, the arms are mounted on the bench, on the wall or on the ceiling. Wall and ceiling mounting keep the work surface free.
