MX-500 Dual Switchable Output
Soldering, Desoldering & Rework Systems
Metcal’s MX-500 Soldering and Rework System has been reimagined, adding features and a new look to a
bench top icon. The system utilizes SmartHeat® Technology, where each cartridge is equipped with a self-
regulating heater which ‘senses’ its own 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 or equipment is required. The MX-500 retains switchable dual port, 40W
operation while introducing numerous new features in a new housing.
SYSTEM WITH ONE HAND-PIECE SYSTEMS WITH TWO HAND-PIECES
POWER SUPPLY WITH NO HAND-PIECE
Key Features &Benefits
w A built in Net Power Meter which will display a graphical
and numerical representation of the power applied to the
cartridge.
w User Programmable PowerSave Mode: the time to
enter PowerSave Mode is adjustable from 10 to 120
minutes.
w Ground Fault Interrupt: AC ground monitor detects
power line ground failures and immediately alerts the
operator and shuts down the system.
w Universal Power Supply: automatically senses the input
line voltage and adjusts accordingly, which allows for
worldwide operation without adaptors or a change in
performance.
w Full compatibility with existing and previous MX upgrade
kits, tip-cartridges, hand-pieces and accessories.
