METCAL™, a leader in benchtop soldering and fume extraction systems, announces the release of their new MicroFine soldering handpieces and cartridge tips for use under the microscope..
MicroFine will be offered with both a soldering and tweezer handpiece configuration, compatible with both the Metcal MX Series and Connection Validation™ (CV) Series soldering systems. The new handpieces offer the fixed temperature process control expected from Metcal SmartHeat® products, but in significantly smaller, lighter form factors.
“The new MicroFine products give Metcal users the ability to leverage the power and reliability of their current Metcal systems with these new handpieces under the microscope,” explains Joshua Edberg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Metcal. “These new handpieces and cartridges are much smaller than anything we’ve introduced before, making it possible to rework components as small as 01005 without the need to purchase a separate system.”
With the release of their MicroFine line, Metcal is introducing a pair of upgraded workstands, now with hands-free tip insertion and removal and hands-free tweezer cartridge tip alignment. These design advancements will be reflected in future versions of their full-sized workstands as well.
“Our goal was to make the MicroFine line ideal for use under the microscope with a small, lightweight, and ergonomic design” explains Can La, Product Director of Metcal . “The handpieces are well-balanced and comfortable, and the redesigned workstands make the Microfine tools safer and easier to use by the operator.”
