• Repetitive soldering operations
• Production lines requiring hands-free soldering
• Automotive electronics manufacturing
• Industrial control board assembly
• Medical device production

DYNAMIC TOOL SETTING
The new version of the ALE250 iron features dynamic tool setting, allowing the operator to easily adjust the iron position and angle to reach different solder joints. This flexibility improves ergonomics and access to difficult-to-reach connections.

3 WORKING MODES
Continuous Mode: Solder wire feeds continuously while button/pedal is pressed - ideal for long joints or filling operations
Discontinuous Mode: Configure specific wire speed and amount per click - perfect for consistent, repeatable joints
Program Mode: Set up to 5 programs with 3 consecutive feeding steps each - enables complex, multi-step soldering sequences

SOLDER WIRE PERFORATION FEATURE
The ALE-110VB features a small blade that perforates the solder wire down to the flux core while feeding. This perforation process:
• Allows better flux flow and outgassing
• Avoids solder and flux splashing during soldering
• Reduces Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
• Improves joint quality and consistency

PROGRAMMABLE OPERATION
Configure up to 5 different programs, each with 1-3 feeding steps. This allows:
• Pre-feed: Position wire before soldering
• Main feed: Apply solder during joint formation
• Post-feed: Add final solder or create fillet

Programs can be saved and recalled for different products or joint types, ensuring consistent results across production runs.

CONNECTIVITY & TRACEABILITY
USB-A: Firmware updates, graphics and profiles import/export
USB-B: PC communications for remote control and data logging
RJ12: Fume extractor connection

These connectivity options enable:
• Process traceability and documentation
• Remote monitoring and control
• Software updates for new features
• Integration with manufacturing execution systems (MES)

COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGE RANGES
The ALE-110VB works with:
• C250 Cartridge Range - Standard precision soldering tips
• C250E Cartridge Range - Extended reach tips
• C245L Cartridge Range - Long-life tips

This extensive tip selection covers virtually any soldering application from fine-pitch SMT to heavy through-hole work.

SOLDER WIRE COMPATIBILITY
Included: GALE10V guide kit for 1.0mm (0.04 in) wire
Optional Guide Kits Available: 0.4mm to 1.8mm diameter wire

The flexible guide kit system allows you to use the optimal wire diameter for each application, from fine electronics work to heavy industrial soldering.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL & STABILITY
• Selectable Range: 90-450°C (190-840°F)
• Idle Stability: ±1.5°C / ±3°F (meets and exceeds IPC J-STD-001)
• Accuracy: ±3% using reference cartridge
• Adjustment: ±50°C / ±90°F through station menu

Precise temperature control ensures consistent solder joint quality and prevents component damage.

ESD SAFE DESIGN
Meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements with:
• Tip-to-ground resistance: <2 ohms
• Tip-to-ground voltage: <2 mV RMS
• Optional equipotential bonding to EPA

Safe for use in ESD-protected areas and on static-sensitive assemblies.

SOLDER REEL CAPACITY
Accommodates solder reels up to:
• Weight: 2kg (4.4 lb)
• Diameter: 100mm (3.94 in)
• Height: 100mm (3.94 in)
• Axis: 10mm (0.4 in)
