When it comes to trusted soldering systems, there is only one name that comes to mind -- Metcal. Why Metcal? Because Metcal knows soldering systems. Its products, from Metcal soldering iron to soldering tips, are well-engineered, with safety and operator productivity as the main concerns.
Recently, Metcal released the MX-5000 Series, boasted as the "next generation of the trusted Metcal Soldering Systems that will enable you to increase productivity and process control for a wide range of applications" with four amazing features.
Metcal Soldering Iron
First, this series is designed for more power. Metcal has the APR Series, but the new series overpowers it. This series is twice as powerful and it is twice more efficient, with increased operator productivity.
Second, the MX-5000 Series is powered by SmartHEAT Technology. How does this amazing technology work? In soldering, temperature control is imperative to avoid electronic component damage. Unlike conventional ceramic heaters, soldering units with SmartHEAT Technology like this are programmed to determine and deliver the exact amount of temperature needed for individual solder joints. With this, damage to electronic components that can be brought about by change in temperature is decreased.
Among the other benefits of Smart Heat Technology are the following:
*This technology is also perfect for lead-free soldering connections.
*It provides temperature stability, thus safer especially when idle.
*It makes tip selection more precise at it narrows down your selection choices.
Third, the MX-5000 Series has improved ergonomics that make it easier for anyone to use it. The pieces are lightweight and they are more comfortable to use. They also come with interchangeable tips. With this improvement, operator productivity is increased.
Last, the MX-5000 Series has a new power indication meter that provides operator the data he needs to make consistent and acceptable soldering joints. With this built-in device, feedback and precise data on the soldering operation are automatically shown for the operator to have much control on the soldering process.
These features have been validated and confirmed great by Metcal users around the world. A satisfied customer says he has 2 Metcal stations and he is "hooked on my Metcal soldering iron." He definitely recommends it to anyone who would like to have a soldering station.
Indeed, Metcal does not disapppoint with this new series. From Metcal soldering iron to soldering stations, higher efficiency and greater output are guaranteed. The MX-5000 Series is more powerful, safer, and more efficient than the previous APR Series.

Metcal Soldering Station, MX-5000 Series Overview
Power. Precision. Performance. Metcal MX-5000 Soldering and Rework System More power. With near double the power of previous models, the MX-5000 temperature recovery time increase production rates and throughput. Increased precision. The new Metcal AdvancedT handpiece is designed to decrease operator fatigue and enhance manual dexterity. Choose from three interchangeable grips to meet preferences for comfort and feel. Greater performance. SmartHeat® technology in every MX-5000 means soldering and rework is always done at safe, controlled temperatures. SmartHeat uses moderate fixed temperatures at varied power to provide the best control. The power supply monitors and varies the power according to the load. The built-in power indicator meter features both a digital and bar graph display to provide instant feedback on your operation.The programmable power save mode saves energy and tip life. The new TipSaver™ workstand includes an auto sleep mode that prolongs tip life by cutting power 90% and an adjustable angle cradle for improved ergonomics. Precision Tweezers, Soldering/Rework System Includes both the Metcal Advanced™ handpiece, MX-PTZ tweezers, MX-W4PT and MX-W1AV workstands for maximum flexibility.Available In Stock. |
