Perfect for
SMD Rework.
Introducing
the new
CV-500 Connection
Validation™
Soldering System
Metcal is pleased to introduce the CV-500
Connection Validation Soldering System,
the companion station to the CV-5210
system. The CV-500 packs all of the
Connection Validation technology into
a compact, economical housing. The
CV-500 soldering system also features
Smartheat™ power on demand technology,
a 2.8” color touchscreen with bold
graphics, an integrated net power meter
with optional tip temperature display and
much more.
The CV-500 system excels at SMD
touch-up and small component rework
using the Ultrafine hand-piece and Ultrafine
tweezer hand-piece (both sold separately).
Connection Validation is...
A patented technology that identifies
the intermetallic compound formation,
then enables the system to provide
closed loop feedback to the operator.
CV-500 Series
Connection Validation™
Soldering System
The intermetallic compound thickness is critical in
the formation of a solder joint. Connection Validation
(CV) evaluates the quality of the solder joint by
calculating the intermetallic compound formation
and provides closed loop feedback to the operator.
CV provides feedback to the operator via the LED
light ring integrated in the hand-piece. It takes the
risk associated with the variables involved in the
soldering activity and removes the success and
failure determination of a good solder joint out of
the hands of the operator.
CV complements the skill of the operator to judge
the quality of a solder joint by introducing an
objective method of evaluating solder joint quality.
This systemic and objective approach provides
repeatability and a measurable standard to the
soldering process.
