Metcal Soldering systems

Metcal's soldering systems use powerful, reliable inductive heating technology that enables faster temperature equalization, shorter dwell times and faster thermal recovery than comparable resistance heating systems.
What does this mean for users? Fast, efficient soldering, even in difficult applications with high thermal mass.

Metcal SmartHeat® technology provides the exact temperature required for each solder joint, delivering the precise amount of thermal energy needed for a reliable connection. Connection Validation™ (CV) technology evaluates the quality of each solder joint by calculating intermetallic compound (IMC) formation. Feedback is provided to the operator via the LED-equipped handpiece. CV technology represents a significant advance in the control of the hand soldering process.

MetcalCV-5210 & CV-510

The thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) is decisive for the formation of a solder joint. CV evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the IMC formation and provides closed-loop feedback to the operator.

Metcal offers two unique Connection Validation™ (CV) soldering systems. The CV-5200 series features patented Connection Validation™ IMC formation technology and integrated SmartHeat® power-on-demand technology. A 2.8-inch color touchscreen with bold graphics makes programming easy. The integrated line power meter provides a visual representation of Power-on-Demand technology.

The CV-500 series combines all Connection Validation™ technology in a compact, economical package. It is also ideal for SMD retouching and small component rework with the Ultrafine handpiece and Ultrafine tweezer handpiece (each sold separately).

Features & benefits:

  • SmartHeat® technology - performance on demand
  • Patented Connection Validation™ technology monitors formation of the IMV
  • 2.8” color touchscreen with rich graphics
  • USB interface for traceability data export and firmware update
  • Graphic display of power output, display of soldering tip temperature
    switchable
  • Patentierte Chip-in-Lötpatrone-Technologie
    • Closed control loop, bidirectional communication
    • Storage of data directly in the soldering cartridge
    • Provides information on traceability
    • Protects the power supply unit from faulty solder cartridges
    • The CV soldering cartridges are backwards compatible with all MX soldering systems
  • Password protection
  • Large selection of soldering cartridges available
  • 5 year warranty

MetcalMX-5210 & MX-500

The MX-5200 series double soldering station for soldering, desoldering and rework tasks. For two users or one user with two applications. 

The ability to use two channels in parallel has further improved productivity and user-friendliness.

The almost doubled heating power compared to its predecessor increases productivity. Despite the increased heat requirement for components with high mass bonding, multilayer Lp and especially for lead-free processes, there are still power reserves available.

The SmartHeat® technology of the MX-5200 systems guarantees that soldering and rework work is always carried out at safe, controlled temperatures. Users of Metcal systems know that variable heating power at a stable fixed temperature is the best prerequisite for a safe soldering and rework process.

Features & benefits:

  • Power display with graphical and numerical representation of the power drawn from the soldering cartridge.
  • Adjustable power save mode: The switch-off time in case of inactivity can be set between 10 and 120 minutes.
  • Earthing check: During commissioning, the system checks for correct earthing to ensure ESD-safe use.
  • Universal power supply unit: Automatic adaptation to the input voltage for worldwide use.
  • Absolute compatibility with current and previous MX systems, soldering cartridges, handpieces and accessories.

MetcalMFR-2200 & MFR-1100

The MFR-2200 series has a dual output function, allowing users to choose whether to operate one handpiece or two handpieces simultaneously. There are three handpieces to choose from in the MFR-2200 systems. Two additional handpieces,
including the desoldering option, are also available as upgrade kits.

The MFR-1100 single output series is designed to minimize your training investment, maximize application solutions and increase productivity. This series is compact and versatile and can be used with either a soldering tip, cartridge or tweezer handpiece. A workshop air desoldering option is also available as an upgrade kit.

Features & Benefits:

  • Ergonomische Handstücke für Bedienersicherheit und Komfort
  • SmartHeat® technology provides exceptional performance for high heat demand applications
  • Single or dual simultaneous outputs allow the use of one or two handpieces
  • Five handpieces for more application solutions for soldering, desoldering (upgrade kit) and rework on one system
  • Each handpiece has an extensive range of cartridges or tips for maximum flexibility
    Ergonomic handpieces for operator safety and comfort
