Easy transition to lead-free soldering
OK International announces a series of enhancements that optimise existing Metcal MX-500 and SP200 systems for a simple, cost-effective transition to lead-free soldering
Based on the technology of the Metcal successful BVX-200 portable two-arm system, this new model is engineered to provide the high vacuum required to draw air through the narrow tip extraction tubes employed in precision soldering applications.
To suit soldering and rework environments a pre-filter is followed by a main filter offering HEPA efficiency exceeding 99.97 per cent, plus an activated carbon filter to remove gases.
Both pre and main filters can be changed independently to maximise the working life of each filter and lower the total cost of ownership. Request a free brochure from OK International ...
