80W Connection Validation Digital Soldering System, includes Gateway Module

Overview

Metcal innovation has led the industry for decades, beginning with SmartHeat® Technology that senses the thermal load and instantly delivers Power on demand to the solder joint. The embedded self-regulating heater delivers the right amount of Power based on the requirements of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required. The intermetallic compound thickness is critical in the formation of a solder joint.

The embedded, self-regulating heater delivers the right amount of power based on the requirements of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe and repeatable process with no calibration required.

The intermetallic compound thickness is critical in the formation of a solder joint. Connection Validation (CV) evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed loop feedback to the operator. CV provides feedback to the operator via the LED light ring integrated in the handpiece. It takes the risk associated with the variables involved in the soldering activity and removes the success and failure determination of a good solder joint out of the hands of the operator. CV complements the skill of the operator to judge the quality of a solder joint by introducing an objective method of evaluating solder joint quality. This systemic and objective approach provides repeatability and a measurable standard to the soldering process.
