Power. Precision. Performance.Power. Precision. Performance.
The MX-5000 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework System is the next
generation of the trusted Metcal Soldering Systems that enable
increased productivity and process control for a wide range of
applications. Building on the renowned strengths of its popular
MX-500 predecessor, the MX-5000 Series increases output
power, adds process feedback, and improves application flexibility
with new hand-pieces.
More power. With nearly double the power of its predecessor, the
MX-5000 time-to-recovery increases production rates and throughput.
The challenges of high mass components, multilayered boards and
lead-free solders are seamlessly matched.
Improved ergonomics. The MX-5000 Series offers two new soldering
hand-pieces. The Metcal Advanced Hand-piece for soldering and
rework provides a cooler, lighter weight and more comfortable
feel for the operator. And, the Metcal UltraFine Hand-piece features a
new generation of extremely fine diameter cartridges in
a slim profiled handle. Both of these hand-piece designs advance
manual dexterity and ergonomics resulting in productivity gains
and operator comfort. All Hand-pieces are forward and backward
compatible, and all STTC cartridges tips will function with both MX-500
and MX-5000 Systems.
Greater process control. SmartHeat Technology in every
MX-5000 System 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.
The MX-5000 is ESD safe and features incoming AC ground
monitoring circuitry. This AC (mains) ground monitor detects power
line ground failures and immediately alerts the operator and shuts
down the system. Only after the power line has been restored, can the
MX-5000 be restarted and soldering operations can be resumed.
Metcal Gives You Choices
The 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.
It 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 Mod: the hand-piece
is removed from the workstand, ready for soldering or rework.Power Mod: 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 Mod (Programmable sleep from 10
to 120min): the hand-piece is at rest in the workstand; power is
reduced to the hand-piece.Powersave Mod: 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.
