Technology

What Is SmartHeat®?

Unlike conventional soldering irons, SmartHeat®administers heat directly from the heater to the

joint. Metcal tip cartridges detect the thermal load and instantly adjust the power in order to

deliver the right amount of heat precisely where it is needed. If the tip cools while transferring heat

to a joint, SmartHeat

®

immediately responds by safely increasing the power to maintain a constant

tip temperature. As a result, operators are relieved of the responsibility of regulating the tip

temperature, thus eliminating the risk of thermal damage to the component or to the PCB.

SmartHeat

®

soldering systems comprise three basic elements: a high frequency power supply, a tip

cartridge and a hand-piece. The cartridge contains the solder tip, a heater and the wire coil.

The Metcal Difference

In production environments where a single component can cost hundreds of dollars and rework and

repair can sometimes be more costly than the components involved, process control is vital. Metcal

improves product quality, increases productivity and reduces manufacturing costs with its patented

SmartHeat

®

technology. As SmartHeat®maintains a constant tip temperature, automatically

delivering the exact amount of power required for the task, consistent results are guaranteed and

component/PCB damage is virtually eliminated. Metcal’s SmartHeat

®

systems offer task-specific

versatility with no limits, no barriers and absolutely no compromise.

When the temperature of the heater (a copper bar coated with a magnetized iron/nickel alloy)

reaches a certain level (its Curie Point), it stops absorbing energy and the temperature becomes

SmartHeat

®

VARIABLE POWER HEATER

FIXED TEMPERATURE SOLDERING TIP

CONNECTOR

constant. Energy from the power supply feeds a steady current to the coil. This creates an electrical

field from which the heater absorbs energy, turns it into heat and transfers it to the iron/nickel

alloy. When soldering has drawn heat from the heater to the extent that the tip begins to cool, the

®

alloy reacts by taking on more energy in order to reheat the tip. In this way, SmartHeat

self-

regulates the tip temperature to within ±1.1ºC of a set point regardless of thermal load and

without any need for adjustment.

Trouble-Free Tip Replacement

The heat-resistant pad supplied with the unit

allows you to easily insert and remove the tip

cartridge. The simplicity of this process ensures

there is no loss of productivity, no need for

additional tools and no reason for two soldering

systems to be heating at the same time.

The SmartHeat®Route To Lead-Free Hand Soldering

Switching to lead-free hand soldering does not necessarily mean that you will have to invest in new

equipment or adjust your existing process. As SmartHeat’s variable power and fixed temperature

guarantee a repeatable tip temperature under a wide variety of thermal loads, the system can easily

adapt to meet the higher temperatures demanded by lead-free applications without any need for

modification.

No Calibration Required For Easy ISO 9000 Compliance

To define the parameters for soldering with a SmartHeat®system, simply record the tip cartridge

part number. As the heater’s alloy dictates the temperature, calibration is not required. Indeed,

there are no dials, buttons or calibration tools, typical of other systems, with which you can adjust

SmartHeat’s temperature. This avoids all risk of unauthorized operator intervention. Throughout the

cartridge’s lifetime, temperature drift is less than a few degrees. A letter to confirm SmartHeat’s

self-calibration capacity is available on request.

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 maximize 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.

Designed for the removal of all discrete and SO symmetrical components. TATC tip cartridges for

Talo n

®

hand-pieces are always sold in pairs. Due to its shape and design, by simply rotating the

Talo n

®

, a single TATC cartridge can remove a 28 pin SOIC, a tantalum or an 0603 chip capacitor

without changing tips. Metcal’s new Viper Tip is shown in the main photograph below.

Depending on available access, choose one of two desoldering tip cartridge configurations:

standard STDC or long reach STDC. Like all Metcal tip cartridges, STDC changeover takes just a few

seconds. When desoldering through-hole components, on thermally demanding PCBs, always use

the correct geometry for the task. This may mean choosing an 800 series (high temperature) tip.

SMT Rework Tip Cartridges

Designed for reworking SMT components, SMTC tip cartridges do it all – assembly, removal and

cleaning. The SMTC range includes slot, tunnel and quad tip cartridges. The SMTC range also

includes hoof tips for drag soldering, blade tips to remove residual solder from pads, and knife tips

for multi-lead soldering of PLCCs in tight places.

Please note: SMTC soldering tip cartridges are for use with the MX-RM3E soldering/rework hand-

pieces for STSS/MX systems only. They cannot be used with SP systems, Talon

®

hand-pieces or

desolder hand-pieces.

SP200

SP200

Economical Soldering System Cuts Costs, Not Corners

The SP200 Soldering System is the most cost-effective and easiest to use compact soldering system

available today.

For flawless soldering, technicians need only select the correct tip cartridge, insert it into the hand-

piece and switch on. As the unit works at a lower temperature than a conventional iron and requires

no calibration, operators always apply the correct level of thermal energy needed to produce solder

joints of the highest quality without risking component or PCB damage.

In addition, the system’s design is extremely reliable, with very few parts that ever need repairing,

ensuring that the SP200 Soldering System is practically maintenance-free.

Metcal’s SP200 Soldering System, for through-hole soldering and SMT touch-up, is designed to

perfectly complement our MX-500 Soldering, Desoldering & Rework System.

Powerful, Portable Through-Hole Rework

Metcal’s SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System is specifically designed for through-hole rework,

delivering powerful and portable desoldering.

The system’s built-in vacuum pump clears through-holes quickly and completely, making it ideally

suited to areas without shop air. This lightweight, ergonomic pencil grip desoldering tool

maximizes operator productivity and reduces the risk of damage to components and substrates.

Using SmartHeat

®

technology, the SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System supplies higher Watt

density power at lower temperatures than other desoldering tools with no overshoot. Its 50-Watt

power rating and tips, specifically designed to maximize heat transfer, make the system ideal for

heavy load desoldering of components on ground-planes and multi-layer PCBs.

Advanced Operating And Safety Features

The SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System has a number of features, which combine to ensure

that it is the most reliable and cost-effective solution available for self-contained desoldering. The

system’s time-out feature switches off the power supply after a 30-minute redundancy period, thus

significantly extending tip life and conserving energy.

Coupled with these features are elements that reflect our dedication to operator and process safety.

The SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System’s ESD cable and vacuum line are burn-proof, which

safeguards operators from injury and prevents damage to expensive process elements. The unit’s

readily accessible paper solder collection chamber renders the former glass cartridges obsolete and

speeds the desoldering process.

Desoldering Tips

The SP440 Self-Contained Desoldering System’s tips are available in two temperature ranges: 600

and 700 series. To ensure the best results, choose a tip with an interior diameter only slightly larger

than that of the lead on the component to be desoldered.

QX2

QX2

Convection Rework Made Easy

The QX2 Convection Rework System combines sophisticated process control and wide-ranging

capabilities with a user-friendly, ergonomic design to speed and simplify the rework process. With

its constant temperature and variable power, the QX2 Convection Rework System minimizes the risk

of thermal damage, providing a safe environment for delicate components and substrates.

In comparison with other convection systems, the simplicity and power of this machine is clear.

Simplified push-button controls and advanced automation reduce the need for extended operator

training while greatly reducing the likelihood of human error. Older convection systems are difficult

to operate and require extensive user training. This is not the case with the QX2 Convection Rework

System. Even its initial set-up is a fast and easy process, requiring no special tools.

Please note: The QX2 Convection Rework System is shown below alongside a Metcal BVX-100 Fume

Extraction System which is available separately.

Precise Nozzles Increase Flexibility

A wide range of focused convection nozzles is available for the QX2 Convection Rework System.

These direct heat precisely where it is needed. With Metcal’s quick-release system, these nozzles

can be changed in seconds, for unsurpassed speed and flexibility.

QX2 Convection Rework System

page

23

QX2

Streamlined Operation

The QX2 Convection Rework System’s vacuum pick-up gently removes components after reflow.

The time of each removal cycle is stored and displayed as a guide to help operators quickly establish

a minimum time for component placement. The system then automatically turns off the heat to

minimize the risk of thermal shock to adjacent components or to the PCB itself. An integrated

under-board pre-heater is also available to prevent the warping of large boards during rework.

Operators can fine-tune the power by adjusting the airflow rate, but to minimize thermal stress, the

system automatically sustains the heater exhaust temperature while maintaining a consistently low

set point temperature. To accommodate any process change, including the use of new soldering

alloys, the manufacturing engineer can easily reprogram this set temperature.

page

24

QX2

Remote Controller Functions

Timer: By counting up during removal and down during attachment, the timer removes

subjective guesswork from the rework process.

Temperature Display: Displays the temperature of the heater exhaust or the

temperature measured by an auxiliary thermocouple in either °F or °C. The heater exhaust

temperature is preset at 662ºF (350°C) and may be reset by the process engineer to

anywhere between 482ºF (250°C) and 842ºF (450°C) by entering an unlock code.

Attach Mode: This mode reflows a new component to the PCB. By adjusting the time

stored in Remove mode with the + - keys, you can ensure an appropriate reflow time,

which may be adjusted on the fly if desired.

Airflow Selector: The airflow selector determines the rate at which thermal energy is

transferred to the component.

Remove Mode: This mode activates the vacuum pick-up, which applies a gentle upward

force to the component. When component lift off is sensed, the heater is automatically

turned off.

Start/Stop Button: Pressing the Start/Stop button initiates or ends the Remove or

A ttach cycle. In Remove mode, stopping the cycle also shuts off the vacuum, to release

components after lift off.

Advanced Process Control

The system’s digital controller clearly displays critical parameters during operation while its

automated functions reduce process variability. Its expanded level of process control provides

superior quality of operation and final product, with less scrap and greater throughput.
