Don’t Miss the SMTA Space Coast Expo!

Nov 07, 2016

Metcal today announced plans to exhibit at the SMTA Space Coast Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016 at the Melbourne Auditorium in FL. Company representatives will showcase the Metcal MX-5200 Soldering System and MX-500 Soldering & Rework System.

The MX-5200 Soldering, Rework and Desoldering series features a dual-simultaneous use option, meaning that two hand-pieces can work from one power supply at the same time. The dynamic option enables the two hand-pieces to share 80 watts output power based on demand, adding even more application flexibility and speed. Four different hand-pieces and a comprehensive range of soldering and rework cartridges support the MX-5200 Series simultaneous dual operation.

Metcal’s updated MX-500 Soldering and Rework System utilizes SmartHeat® Technology wherein each cartridge is equipped with a self-regulating heater that ‘senses’ its own temperature and closely maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip. The MX-500 retains dual port, switchable 40W operation in a new housing, while introducing numerous new features including: integrated power indication meter, user programmable PowerSave mode, ground fault interrupt, universal power supply and compatibility with existing MX-5200 products.

Additionally, Metcal’s MFR Series Soldering & Rework Systems will be on display. For more information about any of Metcal’s bench tool solutions, visit www.metcal.com.
