SMARTHEAT TECHNOLOGY

Because our systems use SmartHeat Technology:

  • They are incapable of overshoot
  • They do not need any calibration, ever
  • They deliver high throughput at lower temperatures
  • They offer an easy to use, versatile conduction tool for all soldering and rework applications

Other advantages are:

  • Easiest tip cartridge swap in the industry- Our tip cartridges slip in and out with no tools, and heat-up extra fast
  • Our hand-pieces are lightweight and ergonomic with a short tip-to-grip for precise control
  • Optimised bench space with small footprint
  • Automatic time-out increasing tip cartridge life

Connection Validation Soldering Station

Introducing Connection Validation Soldering Station,  the embedded, self-regulating heater delivers the right amount of power based on the requirements of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required.

METCAL’s Connection Validation (CV) evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed loop feedback to the operator. CV provides feedback to the operator via the LED light ring integrated in the hand-piece. It takes the risk associated with the variables involved in the soldering activity and removes the success and failure determination of a good solder joint out of the hands of the operator. CV complements the skill of the operator to judge the quality of a solder joint by introducing an objective method of evaluating solder joint quality. This systemic and objective approach provides repeatability and a measurable standard to the soldering process.

Features and Benefits of CV Soldering Station

• SmartHeat Power on Demand Technology
• Patented Connection Validation IMC Formation Technology
• 2.8” color touchscreen with bold graphics
• Communications Port for process traceability data and firmware graphics
• Precise tip temperature display
• Integrated Net Power Meter and power graph
• Patented Chip-in-Cartridge technology
   ° Closed loop bi-directional communication
   ° Stores and records cartridge attributes
   ° Provides traceability information
   ° Protects power supply from non-conforming cartridges

MX-500S

Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering and Rework System has been reimagined, adding features and a new look to a bench top icon.

The system utilizes SmartHeat® Technology, wherein each cartridge is equipped with a self-regulating heater which ‘senses’ its own temperature and closely maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip. The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the heater; no external adjustment or equipment is required. The MX-500 retains switchable dual port, 40W operation while introducing numerous new features in a new housing.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Integrated Power Indication Meter: a built in net power meter which will display a graphical and numerical representation of the power applied to the cartridge.
  • User Programmable PowerSave Mode: the time to enter PowerSave Mode is adjustable from 10 to 120 minutes.
  • Ground Fault Interrupt: AC ground monitor detects power line ground failures and immediately alerts the operator and shuts down the system. Only after the power line ground has been restored, can the MX-500 be restarted and soldering operations can be resumed.
  • Universal Power Supply: automatically senses the input line voltage and adjusts accordingly, which allows for worldwide operation without adaptors or a change in performance.
  • Compatibility with all MX products: the MX-500 redesign allows full compatibility with existing and previous MX upgrade kits, tip-cartridges, hand-pieces and accessories.
  • Greater process control with SmartHeat® Technology
  • Reduced space requirements
