The MX series power a wide variety of tips for removing or attaching the full range of SMT components, including SOTs, SOICs, SOJs, PLCCs and QFPs. All power supplies sense whether the tip cartridge has been used during the past 30 minutes, and automatically shuts off to maximize tip cartridge life.

Metcal can make anyone a rework expert - in less time than you'd think. Even a novice can be reworking difficult boards with just a morning of basic training. That's because Metcal's patented technology and precision-engineered design assure consistent results. Tip cartridges like the SMTC-x147 (hoof) multi-lead speed soldering cartridge make attaching QFP-208īs easier than you've ever imagined. Removal is just as quick and easy.

No calibration makes ISO 9000 compliance easy. Because the interchangeable SmartHeat cartridges contain the heater and temperature self-regulating alloy, SmartHeat systems require no calibration. By specifying the tip cartridge, you've specified most of your process. Simply choose the correct tip cartridge, insert it into the handpiece, and flip one switch. Compare that to the myriad of dials, readouts, buttons, calibration tools and procedures of other systems. This makes compliance with ISO 9000 simple. A "no-calibration" letter is available on request.

The easiest tip cartridge swap in the industry. Tip cartridges slip in and out with no tools, so you can quickly go from removing a 100-pin QPF to cleaning up pads to desoldering braid to rapidly soldering a fine pitch component. It's like having a complete rework station at every bench.

Reduces your maintenance costs. MX systems reduce maintenance costs because they use no separate control circuits and minimal parts. When you change a tip cartridge, it's like getting a whole new system.

The power to deliver high throughput at low temperatures. Unlike conventional systems which rely on stored energy, Metcal systems deliver power on demand. This allows you to work at lower temperatures while maintaining the fastest temperature recovery joint-to-joint in the industry.

Attention to detail provides unmatched comfort and simplicity. The Metcal Talon's easy-squeeze design makes removing SMT components a snap, and gives you unmatched control and comfort. A cleverly designed beveled edge on tips allows you to rework several components without changing tip cartridges. And, even when you have to change a tip cartridge, there are no annoying screws or difficult tip alignment - it's simple and fast.

Award winning pistol grip SMT rework/desoldering system. The MX-500DS allows you to do both SMT and through-hole rework with one power supply at the bench. The MX-500DS converts shop air into a powerful vacuum. And the MX-500DS uses paper solder collection liners instead of glass tubes for easy maintenance.

Superior process control reduces board damage. The predictability of SmartHeat increases quality at every bench. Metcal's direct power delivery responds to the needs of the solder connection, providing both safer rework and a repetitive thermal profile for superior process control.

Optimized bench space. Since workbenches are getting more and more crowded, the MX power supply has been designed to have a smaller footprint than almost any other system.
