Ersa Builds Soldering Stations for Production and Rework
Ersa’s i-CON line covers hand soldering and desoldering at the bench. The i-CON 1 MK2 and i-CON TRACE are 150 W soldering stations, and the TRACE adds job logging and traceability. The VARIO 2 MK2 and VARIO 4 MK2 are multichannel stations that run an i-TOOL AIR S hot air tool alongside other soldering or desoldering tools.
Cumberland Electronics Strategic Supply Solutions (CE3S) supplies all four stations on this page. Tell us how many tools you need to run at once and whether you need traceability, and we’ll help you pick the right station and tool bundle.

Ersa i-CON VARIO 2 MK2 Soldering Station
The i-CON VARIO 2 MK2 is a 200 W multichannel soldering and desoldering station. It runs an i-TOOL AIR S and a second tool at the same time and shifts power between them as the job demands. It covers SMT and through-hole work, from 0201 chips up to PLCC 84 packages and high-mass PTH joints.
A vacuum pump for desoldering is built in, and the hot air supply runs quiet. Temperature range is 50 to 450°C, or up to 550°C with the i-TOOL AIR S. You adjust settings on a large multifunction display with one-touch push button control, and USB, an antistatic design, and a fume extraction connection are included. You can buy it in several tool bundles or as the control station alone.
Features and Highlights
- Runs a hot air tool and a second tool at the same time
- Built-in vacuum pump for desoldering
- 50 to 450°C range, or up to 550°C with the i-TOOL AIR S
- USB interface and fume extraction connection
Ersa i-CON 1 MK2 Soldering Station
Built for SMT and through-hole work in production, rework, and R&D, the i-CON 1 MK2 is a 150 W soldering station. Its i-TOOL MK2 iron heats up in 9 seconds, and a motion sensor puts it into standby when it’s not moving, which saves power and tip life.
Its temperature range is 150 to 450°C. A one-touch push button and large multifunction display handle the settings, and a visual signal tells you when the optimal process window is reached. The station has an antistatic design and is available with an interface for a fume extraction unit, heating plate, or PC. Buy it with the iron, as the control station alone, or with the A58 Tip’n’Turn holder.
Features and Highlights
- 150 W with the i-TOOL MK2 iron
- Heats up in 9 seconds
- Motion sensor standby saves power and tip life
- Optional fume extraction, heating plate, or PC link
Ersa i-CON VARIO 4 MK2 Soldering Station
With 500 W to share, the i-CON VARIO 4 MK2 runs an i-TOOL AIR S hot air tool and three other soldering or desoldering tools at once. Its power management moves output to whichever tool is drawing it, and two large multifunction displays and a one-touch push button cover the settings for all four tools.
A desoldering vacuum pump is built in, and the hot air tool’s blow air supply is close to silent. The irons run from 150 to 450°C and the hot air tool from 50 to 550°C. USB, an antistatic design, and a fume extraction interface are standard. It ships with the AIR S and i-TOOL MK2, with the CHIP TOOL VARIO and X-TOOL VARIO added, or as a bare control station.
Features and Highlights
- Runs four tools at the same time, including hot air
- 500 W with dynamic power distribution
- Two large multifunction displays
- Desoldering vacuum pump built in

Ersa i-CON TRACE Soldering Station
The i-CON TRACE is a 150 W soldering station with WLAN, Bluetooth, and a LAN card built in, so every hand soldering job can be logged and traced. It’s IPC/CFX certified and connects to an MES through the free ERSA TRACE COCKPIT software, which lets you define a process, have operators follow it, and document the process data.
There’s no display on the station itself. An LED interface runs on a green-means-go scheme, and setup happens in the Ersa TRACE APP over WLAN. The i-TOOL TRACE iron uses the patented Tip’n’Turn system, so tips swap fast and are replaced separately. The station is antistatic and covers 50 to 450°C.
Features and Highlights
- WLAN, Bluetooth, and LAN built in
- IPC/CFX certified with MES connection
- Controlled from the Ersa TRACE APP
- Tip’n’Turn tips swap fast and replace separately
