Thermaltronics, a manufacturer of soldering systems, incorporating the unique Curie Point Technology for temperature control, has introduced a multifunction soldering tip tester that has the following measurement functions:
- Tip temperature (centigrade to Fahrenheit switchable)
- Tip to ground resistance (ohm)
- Tip to ground voltage leakage (mv)
Additionally, the unit comes with a mini USB port, enabling the tester to be connected to a computer to read stored data.
The large LCD display can show current test information, data stored in the system memory and any “info” messages such as notices or alerts. If there are no “info messages,” this section of the display reverts to date and time.
Included with the tester is a pack of type “K” thermocouples (ST-SNSR-1), a ground wire (ST-GWIRE) for use when testing for resistance or voltage leakage, and a mini USB cable (ST-CABLE-1).
This multifunction tester comes with a one-year warranty and is one of the most competitive units on the market.

Since training is such a key component in converting an inexperienced new hire into a valued contributor on the manufacturing floor, we asked Brenda Clunie, vice president of sales and operations at EPTAC, exactly how their certification programs deliver on this promise for new hires.

During factory visits, I've witnessed what’s happened to our workforce after the pandemic. Sometimes it looks like operator separation for social distancing, working extra shifts to cover for lost or missing employees due to illness, workers who now work from home, or they have simply found working no longer suits them. One possible solution when you can’t hire skilled technicians is to look at automation, particularly automation for soldering. For many it was a “feature piece” for the obligatory factory tour just to demonstrate to potential customers they are forward thinking. Now it’s a reality to solve a true workforce shortage issue. But why use a robotic soldering system?

Successful skills training is a crucial part of the onboarding process and can take experienced staff members away from their primary jobs on the manufacturing floor. Effective training to onboard new employees can not only speed up the ramp-up times, but can also be customized to a company’s specific needs. We posed these four questions about new hire training to Sharon Montana-Beard, vice president of sales and operations at Blackfox.
