DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Metcal, part of OK
International and Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leader in
benchtop soldering for electronics and industrial manufacturing,
today announced the launch of its new MicroFine™
soldering handpieces and cartridge tips for use under
microscopes.
MicroFine will be offered with both a soldering and tweezer
handpiece configuration, compatible with 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 formfactors.
"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.
"As we bring new innovations to market, it is important that we
focus on our customers' needs for improved ergonomics, performance,
and safety" explains Bryan Gass, Vice President and General
Manager of OK International. "After significant customer testing,
we believe that the balance and comfort of the handpieces, coupled
with SmartHeat® performance, and re-designed workstands
for safer tip change will set new customer standards for rework
with small components."
