Metcal MX-5251 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework System

MX-5251 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework System

The MX-5251 is configured with the Metcal Advanced™ Hand-piece. This system is highly effective for soldering applications including: lead-free, high mass components or boards, thermally sensitive components requiring low operating temperature, high volume production soldering and touch-up soldering operations. For these applications, STTC Series soldering cartridges are offered in dozens of geometries and sizes.

In addition, the MX-5251 can be used for conduction rework of SMDs when using SMTC Series soldering cartridges with such geometries as: blade, tunnel and quad styles that provide exact part fit up. Even more, the high power MX-5251 System is ideally suited for quickly and efficiently heating high-mass tips in this range, increasing operator throughput. A variety of SMTC soldering cartridge geometries are available.

Includes the MX-DS1 Desoldering hand-piece designed for through-hole desoldering.

Note: Unit requires shop air for desoldering!

MX-5000 SERIES SOLDERING SYSTEMS

The new MX-5000 Series Soldering and Rework System is the next generation of the trusted Metcal Soldering Systems that will enable you to increase productivity and process control for a wide range of applications with these new features:

More power. With nearly double the power of its predecessor, the MX-5000 time to recovery increases production rates and throughput.

Improved ergonomics. A new Metcal Advanced™ Hand-piece for soldering and rework is carefully designed to decrease operator fatigue and enhance the operator manual dexterity resulting in productivity gains.

Greater process control. SmartHeat® Technology in every MX-5000 means that soldering and rework are always performed at safe, controlled temperatures. Metcal users know that moderate fixed temperatures, where power is varied, provide the best assurance for a well controlled soldering and rework process.

Metcal Gives You Choices

The new MX-5000 Series provides users with a wide range of choices to address conduction soldering and rework processes. At the core of each system is a microprocessor controlled power supply that provides more power, the highest level of precision and advanced user features for greater process control.

Power Supply: Process Feedback and Power

The MX-5000 has a built-in power indication meter with digital display and bar graph that dynamically provides the operator with feedback on the status of the soldering operation. Whether using a large mass rework tip for QFPs or a fine-point soldering tip, the power indication meter is a valuable resource for making consistent, acceptable solder joints.

The system has four mode indications: "Ready Mode": the hand-piece is removed from the workstand, ready for soldering or rework. "Power Mode": the hand-piece's tip is in contact with the load. The power indication meter provides graphical and numeric feedback on the system power output. "Sleep Mode": the hand-piece is at rest in the workstand; power is reduced to the hand-piece. "Powersave Mode": power to the hand-piece is shut off. This programmable feature allows a supervisor to set the desired time to cut off power to the hand-piece.
