OK International has been a leading manufacturer of tools for the electronics work bench for almost 60 years. Some of the most popular products have been the Metcal line of soldering, desoldering and rework systems. Through the years, the Metcal MX-500 and SP200 Systems have held a strong reputation for reliability, robustness and longevity. What makes these systems relevant today is they are appropriate for lead-free, even the systems that have been in use on benches for years. This means changing to lead-free can be cost effective and doesn't necessarily require replacing soldering irons. Your Metcal soldering system, with SmartHeat(R) technology, uniquely sense the exact thermal requirement for each solder joint and respond by delivering the precise amount of thermal energy at the rate required to create a reliable connection. It is this technology that allows MX-500 and SP200 Systems to work expertly on lead-free solder joints. To help you convert your current lines to lead-free, we have released a range of product enhancements for your existing MX-500 and SP200 Soldering Systems as you make the transition to lead-free soldering. The enhancements address three areas of concern for engineers who are introducing leadfree: * Identifying systems using lead-free solders from those using leaded solders. * Maximizing consumable life without affecting performance. * Delivering more power without damaging the substrate. www.okinternational.com Lead Free Upgrades for Metcal SmartHeat(R) Soldering Products Lead Free Upgrades for Metcal SmartHeat(R) Soldering Products Lead Free Upgrades for Metcal SmartHeat(R) Soldering Products Workstand Upgrade and Identification Kits The new Auto-sleep Workstands help increase tip life by allowing the tip cartridge to idle at a lower temperature, thereby reducing oxidation. The Autosleep Workstands are also available with green tip cradle inserts to easily identify lead-free stations. In addition, green bands that clip onto tip cartridges, identifying them as being used for lead-free processes, are available.
