Metcal Soldering systems

Our soldering systems from Metcal integrate powerful, reliable inductive heating technology that enables faster temperature equalization, shorter dwell times, and quicker thermal recovery than competing systems.

Metcal users can rely on fast, efficient soldering, even in challenging applications with high thermal mass.

Thanks to SmartHeat® power-on-demand technology, Metcal delivers the precise amount of thermal energy required for each solder joint — ensuring reliable connections every time. In addition, Metcal’s patented Connection Validation™ (CV) technology marks a major step forward in hand soldering process control: it evaluates solder joint quality by measuring intermetallic compound (IMC) formation and provides real-time visual feedback to the operator via an LED-equipped handpiece.

MetcalCV-5210 & CV-510

The thickness of the IMC is decisive for the formation of a reliable solder joint. To meet this need, Metcal offers two unique CV soldering systems that evaluate solder joint quality by calculating IMC formation and providing closed-loop feedback to the operator.

The CV-5200 Series features both CV technology and SmartHeat® technology. A 2.8-inch color touchscreen with bold graphics makes programming the system easy, while the integrated line-power meter provides a visual representation of the power-on-demand feature.

The CV-500 Series combines Metcal’s CV technology into a compact, practical package. It is ideal for SMD retouching and small-component rework, especially when used with the available 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
  • Patented Chip-in-Solder Cartridge Technology
    • 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
