OK International’s Lead-Free Hand Soldering and Rework Initiative Once Again Comes To The Aid Of Electronics Manufacturers
OK International’s long established MX-500 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework System is now included in OK International’s lead-free initiative, designed to assist customers with more affordable products in the run up to lead-free production.
Three of the MX-500 series of products are now available at significantly reduced costs, and include:
MX-500S-21 Soldering/Rework System (reduced from £495.00 / €750.00 to £320.00 / €450.00)
MX-500TS-21 Rework/Talon System (reduced from £739.00 / €1120.00 to £565.00 / €810.00)
MX-500DS-21 Desoldering/Rework System (reduced from £775.00 / €1170.00 to £618.00 / €885.00)
The versatile MX-500 Series is capable of handling SMT and through-hole applications with one power supply and offers an automatic shut-off to maximise tip cartridge life. There are two switchable outputs that can be adapted to suit the operator’s exact needs, with an option of a soldering iron, Talon® tweezers or desolder gun. As with all OK International soldering and rework equipment, the MX-500 Series is ergonomically designed to improve process control, precision and performance.
The MX-500 Series incorporates Metcal SmartHeat® technology, originally developed to ensure consistent soldering iron tip temperature under a wide variety of thermal loads. In meeting this objective, Metcal also future-proofed their soldering irons to be perfectly suited to lead-free soldering, without need of any modification. Metcal SmartHeat® soldering iron technology eliminates major assembly problems, such as excessive overheating damage to components and delamination or scorching of substrates. It approaches manual soldering in a totally different way from conventional irons where the amount of power supplied to the soldering tip remains constant and the tip temperature can vary enormously. With Metcal SmartHeat® it is the tip temperature that is kept constant and not the power supplied to it, as a result, the burden of maintaining the correct tip temperature is totally removed from the operator as the power varies automatically.
Offer available in Europe.
