MicroFine Cartridges

cart-rend-horiz

Metcal's MX Series Soldering Systems use SmartHeattm  fixed temperature technology to ensure fast and accurate heating during any application.brain-pcb-icon-1

Our cartridges are designed for use at a single, pre-determined temperature. The temperatures are chosen based on common, industrial manufacturing applications, and the properties of solder and its reaction to various temperatures. The temperature of the cartridge tip is maintained by SmartHeat's combination of inductive heating and the science of metalurgy, so that the temperature of each is fixed at the molecular level.

MicroFine Cartridges are available at three temperatures:

600 Series 675 °F 357 °C  For temperature-sensitive applications
700 Series 775 °F 413 °C  For most general applications
800 Series 875 °F 468 °C  For thermally demanding applications
