Metcal

Since Metcal was founded in Silicon Valley in 1982, they have been offering their customers great added value in the field of soldering technology, contaminant extraction and dispensing technology. Today, Metcal is a product brand of OK International. OK International's goal is to develop efficient, productive and cost-effective manufacturing equipment, no matter how demanding the application.
Metcal products offer users a wide range of choices to handle hand soldering, desoldering and rework processes. With Metcal, electronics manufacturers get the tools and confidence they need to develop efficient, safer and more advanced products.

The success story of Metcal products is remarkable and characterized by innovation. The company developed its first milestone with SmartHeat® technology. This breakthrough enables the user to carry out work processes such as soldering, desoldering and reworking at safe and controlled temperatures. This was followed by another industry first, Connection Validation™, which calculates and documents the intermetallic connections of the solder joint for the user (traceability).

The developments in Metcal products open up new possibilities for global OEMs and electronics assembly customers in the automotive, aerospace, medical device and military sectors. Today, Metcal products continue to impress with their rapid pace of innovation. The company proves this with constant innovations in the areas of hand soldering, convection rework, contaminant extraction and dispensing technology.

The specialists at Simpex Electronic AG, Wetzikon will be happy to provide you with further information at any time.

Suction systems

Soldering fumes are more than just an irritant. Inhalation of the hazardous substances contained in soldering fumes reduces concentration and leads to fatigue, which then has an impact on the productivity of the employee. Health and quality concerns due to possible deposits of particles/flux residues contained in soldering fumes on the PCB require appropriate measures to eliminate these hazards. Contaminant extraction is a simple way to eliminate these risks for employees and the company

Soldering stations

Metcal has been an industry leader for decades, starting with SmartHeat® technology, which detects the thermal load and immediately supplies additional heat energy to the solder joint as required. The integrated, self-regulating heater delivers the right
amount of heat according to the
requirements of the solder joint. This
enables a fast, safe and repeatable process,
which requires no calibration.

Soldering tips

The SmartHeat® technology soldering tips and soldering cartridges detect the thermal load and immediately deliver the right amount of heat directly to the solder joint.
