MX-500 SYSTEMS CONFIGURATION & UPGRADE KITS

Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering and Rework System has been reimagined, adding

features and a new look to a bench top icon. 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.

• 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
