What is Smartheat®Technology?
SmartHeat® Technology is unique in that it senses the specific thermal demand directly at the solder
pad and delivers the precise quantity and flow of thermal energy during both flux activation and inter-
metallic bonding phases without any adjustment and calibration. SmartHeat® is radically different and
provides users the only fully safe and thermally effective soldering lead free solution.
Conventional technology senses and responds to the tip temperature and not the thermal energy de-
mand of the solder joint and users are required to calibrate their systems regularly. In today’s lead free
environment, the conventional technology is thermally inefficient to produce good quality solder joints
consistently and leaves process control in the hands of the individual operators.
Good quality joints are a result of precise quantity and flow of thermal energy and not tip temperature.
Fixed temperature cartridges and tips offer users a fully safe and thermally effective solution to their
lead free soldering needs as well as complete process control. Furthermore, fixed temperature car-
tridges and tips can offer better tip life because they can operate at a lower temperature than conven-
tional technology. Please speak to our representatives on proper tip selection for your soldering
applications.

QQSmartHeat®tips and cartridges sense the load
and instantly deliver the right amount of heat directly
to the solder joint.
QQThe required solder joint temperature drives the
heating process, as opposed to the idle tip
temperature setting (as in a conventional iron).
QQOperates at lower safer temperatures. Power is
delivered in proportion to the load. SmartHeat®
technology eliminates overshoot.
QQNo calibration required - saves money and
eliminates system down-time.
