The PS-800 system of Metcal/OK International reportedly revolutionizes hand soldering by combining the power and process control advantages of SmartHeat technology, requiring no calibration. The equipment delivers highly stable thermal performance with a compact power supply that fits on or under the bench – and is reduced in cost. Cost of ownership is minimal, as the heater tips (no cartridges) are easily replaceable when used-up. The unique two-piece design separates the heater coil from the tip. The long-life heater coil remains in the handle, while the tips are replaced. The cost of heater tips is comparable to those of conventional tips. A range of 33 soldering tip geometries covers all application cases, each available in a wide range of temperatures. In addition, enhancements to SmartHeat technology lead to increased plating thickness for extended heater tip life, without reducing thermal performance. The tool meets the needs of low-cost manufacturing without compromising size and performance.
