Metcal MX-500AV Soldering/Rework Station, Two Channel, 40 W Output, With MX-H1-AV Handpiece

MX-500AV Advanced Soldering / Rework Station System with MX-H1-AV Handpiece

The MX-500AV Advanced Soldering and Rework Station System is a high-performance, precision-engineered solution designed for demanding electronics manufacturing, repair, and rework applications. Built for professional engineers and technicians, this system delivers consistent thermal performance, superior control, and maximum efficiency in high-throughput environments.

At the core of the MX-500AV is SmartHeat Technology, an innovative approach where each soldering cartridge contains an integrated, self-regulating heater. This intelligent design allows the tip to sense and maintain its own temperature without external calibration, ensuring exceptional thermal recovery and stable performance throughout the life of the cartridge. The result is highly reliable solder joints, reduced risk of thermal damage, and improved process repeatability.

The MX-500 platform features dual switchable ports, enabling seamless operation between handpieces to increase productivity and reduce downtime. With 40W SmartHeat power, the system provides fast heat-up times and the power needed for complex assemblies, fine-pitch components, and multilayer boards.

Engineered with a modern, durable housing, the MX-500AV enhances usability while maintaining the rugged reliability trusted by industry professionals. The included MX-H1-AV handpiece offers ergonomic handling and precision control, making it ideal for intricate soldering and rework tasks.
