SmartHeat®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.

SmartHeat®
When the temperature of the heater (a copper bar coated with a magnetised iron/nickel alloy)
reaches a certain level (its Curie Point), it stops absorbing energy and the temperature becomes
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 unauthorised 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 maximise tip cartridge life, and a standard four year warranty.

Designed for the removal of all discrete and SO symmetrical components. TATC tip cartridges for
Talon®hand-pieces are always sold in pairs. Due to its shape and design, by simply rotating the
Talon®, 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.

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.

Workstand Upgrade and Identification Kits
The new Auto-sleep Workstands help increase tip life by allowing the tip cartridge to idle at a lower
temperature, thereby reducing oxidation. The Auto-sleep Workstands are also available with green tip
cradle inserts to easily identify lead-free stations. In addition, green bands that clip onto tip
cartridges, identifying them as being used for lead-free processes, are available.
To help you convert your current lines to lead-free, we have released a range of product enhancements for
your existing MX-500 and SP200 Soldering Systems as you make the transition to lead-free soldering.

All SSC Tip Cartridges, for the SP200 Soldering System, have been upgraded with a new, high power
coil assembly that delivers additional power to demanding solder joints, without the need to increase
temperature (see page 19).
Additionally, a new range of STTC Tips for the MX-500 Series with optimized tip geometries has been
developed. These tips are specially designed to deliver heat more efficiently for common hand
soldering applications. The new STTC Tips are listed below

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
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
minimise 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 minimise 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.

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
Attach 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.
