PACE Soldering
Soldering, desoldering and rework stations
PACE stations for soldering, desoldering and SMD rework, supplied as complete systems with handpieces or as power units without a handpiece. The range runs from the compact ST35 soldering station and the ST125 desoldering station with built-in pump to the MBT360 multi-channel station for up to three handpieces. Individual handpieces and tips are listed in the neighbouring categories.

How to choose Soldering, desoldering and rework stations
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Options | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Task | Soldering, through-hole desoldering, combined rework | ST35 for soldering, ST125 for desoldering, MBT360 for soldering, desoldering and SMD removal at one workplace. |
| Control technology | SensaTemp, AccuDrive | The MBT360 has two AccuDrive ports and one SensaTemp port, ST35 and ST125 work with SensaTemp. |
| Scope of supply | With handpieces or power unit only | The power unit makes sense if suitable PACE handpieces are already in use. |
| Vacuum | Built-in Snap-Vac pump or no pump | MBT360 and ST125 supply the SX-100 desoldering iron without external compressed air. |
| Temperature range | AccuDrive 177-454 °C, SensaTemp 37-482 °C | Values of the MBT360, temperature stability 1.1 °C. |
Applications
Hand soldering in production The ST35 with PS-90 delivers plenty of heat at a low working temperature, also on heavy multilayer boards.
Through-hole desoldering The ST125 with its Hi-Flo Snap-Vac pump and the SX-100 extracts solder cleanly from plated holes.
Rework station The MBT360 runs soldering iron, thermal tweezers and desoldering iron at the same time without replugging.
Process control Password protection and temperature lockout keep operators within the approved temperature window.
Upgrading existing workplaces Power units without handpieces keep existing SensaTemp and AccuDrive tools in service.
FAQ
- How many handpieces can the MBT360 run?
- Up to three at once: two AccuDrive handpieces such as TD-200 and MT-200, plus one SensaTemp handpiece such as SX-100 or PS-90.
- Do I need compressed air for the desoldering iron?
- No. MBT360 and ST125 have a built-in Snap-Vac pump that supplies the SX-100 Sodr-X-Tractor with vacuum directly.
- Which handpieces fit the ST35?
- SensaTemp handpieces with a black connector, for example the PS-90 general purpose iron or the TT-65 ThermoTweez thermal tweezers.
- How accurate is the temperature control?
- Temperature accuracy meets ANSI J-STD-001 and tip-to-ground resistance is below 2 ohms. The MBT360 holds the temperature stable to 1.1 °C.
