SYSTEM DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
The MX-500 Series is a precision, high-power soldering system with dual
switchable ports. It is the newest design of the market leading Metcal soldering
systems. It adds new ergonomic hand-pieces, a new built in power meter, 40 watts
of power and includes SmartHeat
®
Technology for quick response and precise
control.
a.
SMARTHEAT
®
TECHNOLOGY
No Calibration Required
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; all controlled by OK International’s proprietary SmartHeat
®
Technology.
The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the
heater;
no external adjustment or equipment is required
. This eliminates spikes
and transients associated with electrically switched elements found in conventional
soldering irons. The integrated power indication meter actively monitors power
delivered to the tip as it varies in direct response to the thermal load. The power
indication meter
requires no calibration,
because it is monitoring an active
feedback loop
.
Please feel free to contact your OK International representative with
any questions.
Those companies or individuals requiring periodic verification of system
performance may do so in the following ways:
Measure the performance of the system in ‘time required to solder a defined
number of loads’, or
Observe start up and idle power with the integrated Power Indication Meter, or
Measure tip idle temperature as it equates to this performance.
