Cypress, CA — Connection validation (CV) is Metcal’s latest, patented techno- logical innovation that is designed to reinvent hand soldering. Built on the company’s SmartHeat™ technology, used in all Met- cal soldering systems, CV evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic com- pound formation and providing closed-loop feedback to the operator, mitigating risk in the process. Metcal is introducing its latest CV system acces-
sories. A full set of handpieces, including tweezers, desolder and high thermal demand, transforms the CV-5200 soldering system into a complete rework so- lution. Metcal has released its CV monitoring soft- ware that improves solder process traceability and creates a performance baseline to quickly analyze sol- dering performance, identify changes in solder condi- tions and allow changes to be made to the process. Robotic soldering is becoming more common-
place as manufacturers look to reduce risk and in- crease productivity. Metcal’s new CV robotic soldering system addresses these needs by com- bining its CV technology and a new smart interface system. CV reduces unnecessary dwell time by signaling to the system to move to the next solder joint in the program after a good joint is formed. The smart interface system simplifies the programming process by integrating system controls in an easy- to-use interface. Metcal’s new digital hot air pen-
cil was developed for small surface mount component and package sizes (1206 [3216 metric] and smaller) and low board densities. As component miniaturization continues, the er- gonomics of a pencil become more im- portant to access and rework compo- nents on the board without affecting adjacent parts. A new high thermal demand
(HTD) solution, which comprises a new handpiece and a selection of ther- mally efficient cartridges, is designed
Purex Unveils “Multi-Nation” Solder Fume Extraction System
Schaumburg, IL — Purex is offering a number of fume extraction solu- tions for applications including de- signs for machine integration and portable workstations, as well as its redesigned, multi-volt FumeCube. The new multi-volt FumeCube
can be used around the world by sim- ply plugging into the local power source. The system automatically sens-

for use with Metcal’s CV and MX line of power supplies. HTD transforms a Met- cal CV or MX-series soldering station into a powerhouse for applications with high thermal loads, such as dense boards, without damaging sensitive components. The company’s solder tip cleaner has a replace-
able brush system that pulls excess solder away from the tip into a removable collection tray for disposal, while removing oxidation from the tip. Solder tips represent a significant portion of the cost of owner- ship for a solder station. Metcal’s new solder tip cleaner removes oxidation and extends the life of the solder tip. By placing the tip into the opening, the AC-STC solder tip cleaner senses the tip and auto-
matically activates, saving the operator time. Contact: Metcal, 10800 Valley View Street,
