Metcal CV-5210 Connection Validation Digital Solder Station

Product Description:

Metcal innovation has led the industry for decades, beginning with SmartHeat® fixed-temperature technology. SmartHeat® automatically adjusts power levels during each soldering operation, maintaining accurate and consistant soldering temperatures. SmartHeat®is process control at the molecular level.

The technology built into every Metcal SmartHeat® system means that soldering and rework are always performed at safe, controlled temperatures. Metcal users know that moderate fixed temperatures, where power is varied, provide the best assurance for a well-controlled soldering and rework process.

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.
