Metcal SmartHeat® Fixed Temperature automatically adjusts power levels during each soldering operation, maintaining accurate and consistant soldering temperatures.
SmartHeat® is process control at the molecular level.
Connection Validation™ (CV) technology evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed-loop feedback to the operator.
CV provides feedback to the operator via the LED light ring integrated into the handpiece. It takes the risk associated with the variables involved in the soldering activity and removes the success and failure determination of a good solder joint out of the hands of the operator.
CV complements the skill of the operator to judge the quality of a solder joint by introducing an objective method of evaluating solder joint quality. This systemic and objective approach provides repeatability and a measurable standard for the soldering process.
