Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering and Rework System has been re-imagined, adding features and a new look to a bench top icon. The MX-500 retains switchable dual port, 40W noperation while introducing numerous new features in a new housing. Allows full compatibility will all existing MX upgrade kits, tip-cartridges, hand pieces and accessories.

The system utilizes SmartHeat® Technology, wherein each cartridge is equipped with a self-regulating heater which ‘senses’ its temperature and closely maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip. The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the heater; no external adjustment required.
