MFR-1100  Single Output Soldering Station & Rework System – Cartridge Hand-piece

METCAL’s Soldering Station, MFR-1100 Single Output Series is highly versatile in that it can be used with either a soldering tip, cartridge or tweezers and offers a choice of four hand-pieces. The MFR-1110 comes with one cartridge soldering hand-piece. The cartridge hand-piece uses small diameter cartridges for easy access and includes a full range of cartridges, including SMD rework.

Features and Benefits of Soldering Station:

  • SmartHeat® Technology provides exceptional power for high thermal demand applications.
  • Four hand-pieces available for increased application solutions for soldering and rework on one system
  • Each hand-piece has a comprehensive range of cartridges or tips for maximum flexibility
  • Hand-pieces are ergonomic for operator safety and comfort
  • Small Bench Top foot print
  • Can be combined and locked with its brother the MFR-2200 dual output series for increased application solutions for soldering and rework

METCAL’s Soldering Station,  MFR-1350 features a soldering hand-piece and a desoldering gun. The power supply has an internal pump providing 0.7 bar of vacuum suction force combined with Smartheat® technology that makes soldering, rework and through-hole desoldering easy and safe.

The MFR-2200 Systems offer a choice of three handpieces, however two additional hand-pieces including the desoldering option are also available as upgrade kits.

Features and Benefits of Soldering Station:

  • SmartHeat® Technology provides exceptional power for high thermal demand applications.
  • Single or Dual simultaneous outputs allow for single or dual hand-piece use.
  • Four hand-pieces available for increased application solutions for soldering and rework on one system.
  • Each hand-piece has a comprehensive range of cartridges or tips for maximum flexibility.
  • Hand-pieces are ergonomic for operator safety and comfort

The system utilizes SmartHeat® Technology, wherein each cartridge is equipped with a self-regulating heater which ‘senses’ its own temperature and closely maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip. The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the heater; no external adjustment or equipment is required. The MX-500 retains switchable dual port, 40W operation while introducing numerous new features in a new housing.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Integrated Power Indication Meter: a built in net power meter which will display a graphical and numerical representation of the power applied to the cartridge.
  • User Programmable PowerSave Mode: the time to enter PowerSave Mode is adjustable from 10 to 120 minutes.
  • Ground Fault Interrupt: AC ground monitor detects power line ground failures and immediately alerts the operator and shuts down the system. Only after the power line ground has been restored, can the MX-500 be restarted and soldering operations can be resumed.
  • Universal Power Supply: automatically senses the input line voltage and adjusts accordingly, which allows for worldwide operation without adaptors or a change in performance.
  • Compatibility with all MX products: the MX-500 redesign allows full compatibility with existing and previous MX upgrade kits, tip-cartridges, hand-pieces and accessories.
  • Greater process control with SmartHeat® Technology
  • Reduced space requirements
