Metcal Introduces New MicroFine Products for Soldering Under the Microscope

Published

on

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Metcal, part of OK International and Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leader in benchtop soldering for electronics and industrial manufacturing, today announced the launch of its new MicroFine™ soldering handpieces and cartridge tips for use under microscopes.

MicroFine will be offered with both a soldering and tweezer handpiece configuration, compatible with the Metcal MX Series and Connection Validation™ (CV) Series soldering systems. The new handpieces offer the fixed-temperature process control expected from Metcal SmartHeat® products, but in significantly smaller, lighter formfactors.

“The new MicroFine products give Metcal users the ability to leverage the power and reliability of their current Metcal systems with these new handpieces under the microscope,” explains Joshua Edberg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Metcal. “These new handpieces and cartridges are much smaller than anything we’ve introduced before, making it possible to rework components as small as 01005 without the need to purchase a separate system.”

With the release of their MicroFine line, Metcal is introducing a pair of upgraded workstands, now with hands-free tip insertion and removal and hands-free tweezer cartridge tip alignment. These design advancements will be reflected in future versions of their full-sized workstands as well.

“As we bring new innovations to market, it is important that we focus on our customers’ needs for improved ergonomics, performance, and safety” explains Bryan Gass, Vice President and General Manager of OK International. “After significant customer testing, we believe that the balance and comfort of the handpieces, coupled with SmartHeat® performance, and re-designed workstands for safer tip change will set new customer standards for rework with small components.”
