MX-500 MX-500
Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System
Industry Standard, Soldering, Desoldering And Rework System
Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System is the benchmark against which other
soldering, desoldering and rework systems are measured. Flexible, fast and powerful, the MX-500
Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System raises bench-top conduction soldering to a new level of
process control, productivity and throughput.
Higher Throughput At Lower Temperatures
Unlike conventional soldering/rework systems that rely on stored energy, Metcal systems use SmartHeat®
for direct power on demand. Despite its capacity to work at lower, safer temperatures, SmartHeat®still
delivers the fastest temperature recovery, joint-to-joint, in the industry.
Versatility Without Compromise
Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System handles both SMT and through-hole
soldering/rework with one power supply at the bench. With two switchable outputs, the system can be
adapted to your exact needs, using two of the three tools available (soldering iron, Talon®tweezers,
desolder gun) to configure the most powerful bench-top soldering/rework system on the market. In
addition, the MX-500 Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System’s power supply has an automatic shut-
off, which helps maximise tip cartridge life, and a standard four year warranty.

Unrivalled Comfort And Simplicity
The short tip-to-grip distance, characteristic of the Metcal hand-piece, improves process precision,
especially for fine-pitch applications. The easy-squeeze design of Metcal’s Talon®tweezers has been
ergonomically designed for superior performance, unmatched comfort and optimum control.

Pistol Grip SMT Desoldering/Rework System
The MX-500DS Desoldering/Rework System converts shop air into a powerful Venturi vacuum to clean
through-holes quickly and efficiently. Paper solder collection liners within the hand-piece barrel are easy
to maintain and are an improvement upon traditional glass tubes.
Please note: The MX-500DS Desoldering/Rework System requires shop air for desoldering. If shop air is not
available, Metcal recommends the SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System.
Tip cartridges sold separately for all systems.
