A soldering station with the "SmartHeat"/RF soldering system, meaning that the tips have internal regulation of temperature. This is essentially a "Curie point thermostat": A ferromagnetic material is heated by induction heating until it hits a specific temperature known as the Curie Point, at which it loses its permanent magnetism until it is cooled again.

The main benefit of this is that it gives variable power but a semi-constant temperature. Different tips give different temperatures, and Omega Verksted stocks tips optimized for lead-free solder. This is also the type of solder stocked by Omega Verksted.
