Read MoreBy combining SmartHeat™, Connection Validation™ Soldering Systems, and CV-IOT, Metcal gives manufacturers the ability to monitor and collect data on every joint being soldered in their operation.
Read MoreThe latest CV firmware update from Metcal brings new and improved CV modes, cartridge optimization capabilities, enhanced traceability, improved solder joint reliability, and more. The update vastly improves the already one-of-a-kind functionality of Connection Validation™ technology.
Read MoreEver-shrinking components on crowded PCB are an obvious source of soldering and desoldering challenges, with increasing amounts of this work now done under the microscope. Look to SmartHeat® and specialty handpieces and tweezers to meet those challenges head-on.
Read MoreContract manufacturers rely heavily on the technical expertise of desoldering and rework equipment suppliers to help solve difficult manufacturing challenges, such as reworking highly metalized circuit boards in military and defense equipment manufacturing. An effective supplier is an integral member of the contact manufacturing team, with technical expertise and industry know-how about manufacturing processes, materials, and equipment.
Read MoreBetween the heat management built into the designs and the mass of the EMI grounding and RF shielding, RF boards pose a unique manufacturing challenge.
Read MoreThe higher the soldering system’s wattage, the more “power” there is to generate the heat needed for a successful solder joint, right?
Maybe not.
Read MoreHas Metcal introduced an adjustable temperature soldering station? Is Metcal changing its position regarding the importance of SmartHeat™ and fixed temperature for process control? Is Metcal losing its mind?
Read MoreWhen looking at performance for hand soldering, Operations Engineers need to be focused on three key metrics: time to temperature, dwell time, and thermal recovery.
Read MoreMetcal’s Connection Validation Soldering Stations have been popular with contract manufacturers and electronics OEMs around the world. How exactly does it work?
