To meet higher thermal demands, Metcal is pleased to
introduce a new dual cartridge hand-piece and workstand
along with a series of five new dual-shaft
cartridge geometries available in two temperature series.
The success of conduction soldering depends upon the
availability and controlled flow of thermal energy into the
connection during two critical phases – flux activation and
intermetallic bond formation. Higher thermal demand
applications such as microwave shields, heavy block type
housing and tabbing, preheat applications, BGA removal as
an alternative to convection, cell phone shields, and
industrial lugs and leads require additional thermal energy
during these critical phases.
To address these challenging applications, Metcal offers the
MX-HPDC dual cartridge hand-piece with the MX-WHPDC
workstand for use with the MX series power supplies, along
with a new series of (5) SMTC dual-shaft cartridges. Dual
shaft cartridges are available with 700 & 800 series heaters.
Recommended configurations:
(1) MX-5200 power supply in dual-simultaneous mode
to provide 40W of power to both heaters
(2) MX-5200 power supplies to provide 80W of power
to both heaters
