The Red Dot design award is an international design competition with over 6,000 entries from 52 countries, and is one of the most important international product design awards. The competition is divided into three sections - product design, communication design and concept design - which are staged and judged separately. The coveted trophy is the Red Dot.  Weller has won  this prestigious design award  in 2007 for the new WR3M rework system.

WR3M - High-End Rework

Weller has taken the rework station to the highest level.  This versatile repair station is specifically tailored to the needs and requirements of professional repairs of the latest-technology electronic sub-assemblies in industrial production engineering and in the repair and laboratory fields.

The new WRK Rework Set is available as an accessory.  The WRK is a newly developed, innovative desoldering system that facilitates soldering and desoldering of large SMT components up to 30 x 30 mm.  The desoldering system can be connected to the additional vacuum channel (pick up) of the WR3M.  Click here for more information.

The Prize of Prizes

In addition to the Red Dot design award, the Weller WR3M has been nominated for the Designpreis Award for 2008, the "Prize of Prizes". 

Companies cannot enter for the Design Award; instead, they are nominated by the Ministries and Senators for Trade & Industry of the German States or by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. It is a precondition for this, however, that a product has already been awarded a national or international prize. No other Design Award sets its entrants such a strict criterion. Because of this the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany is called the “prize of prizes" by many opinion leaders in the world of  design.
