Soldering and rework system doubles productivity
High-power flexible system for production hand soldering, touch-up and SMD rework incorporates the ability to operate one or two different handpieces at the same time.
All this at a price that is under GBP 165.00.
The Metcal PS-800 soldering system combines the power and process control advantages of SmartHeat, with the system quality and innovative design of vintage Metcal irons.
Conventional soldering iron technology approaches manual soldering in a totally different way, where the amount of power supplied to the soldering tip remains constant and the tip temperature can vary enormously.
This method will almost certainly cause excessive overheating damage to components, and delamination or scorching of substrates.
With OK International's SmartHeat technology 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, making the PS-800 the perfect tool for lead-free manufacture. Request a free brochure from OK International ...
