EDSYN Incorporated

Innovation at the Bench – 1997

As electronics evolved, so did the risks at the bench.

Solder fumes weren’t just a nuisance—they impacted operator health and safety, and could reduce visibility during precision work.  Traditional extraction systems often relied on passive airflow, missing fumes at the source.

Edsyn changed that with the FUMINATOR®.

By engineering a proprietary rotating filter system—unlike conventional stationary designs—Edsyn maximized usable filter surface area while drawing fumes and particulate away from the operator, and from a wider area.

The result: a healthier work environment, improved visibility, and greater control at the bench.

Today, effective fume extraction isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Innovation at the Bench – Hot air rework changed everything.

As surface mount technology advanced, precision hot air rework became critical—not optional.

Since 1983, Edsyn has helped define how technicians safely remove and replace sensitive components without compromising the board.

The difference isn’t just hot air.
It’s control.
It’s repeatability.
It’s confidence at the bench.

With solutions like the TSX70, engineers get simultaneous hot air and vacuum, delivering the precision required for SMT and BGA rework—where failure isn’t an option.

The right solution starts here.

Innovation at the Bench – 1983

As surface mount technology emerged, traditional rework methods became risky and ineffective.

Components were smaller. More sensitive.

Direct contact heat often led to damage or inconsistent results.

Hot air rework changed that.

Edsyn pioneered a controlled, non-contact method that made safe SMT component removal possible — and helped define how rework is performed today.

More than 40 years later, the principle remains the same:

Controlled heat. Better results.

In 1975, Edsyn patented one of the first temperature-controlled soldering systems, setting the standard for controlled heat at the workbench.

Too much heat damages components. Too little creates unreliable joints.
Temperature control brought consistency to the process.

Today, that control is even more critical.

Components are smaller. Tolerances are tighter.
Without precise temperature control, defects increase and consistency breaks down.

That’s why temperature-controlled soldering is still essential.

And Edsyn’s LONER® Series has been delivering since 1975.

Innovation at the Bench – Choosing the Right Desoldering Tool

Not every desoldering job requires the same solution.
From heavy-duty production to precision bench repair, choosing the right tool makes all the difference.

SOLDAPULLT® has been setting the standard since 1963 — but the real question is: which solution is right for your application?
