Metcal innovation has led the industry for decades, beginning with SmartHeat® technology that senses the thermal load and instantly delivers power-on-demand to the solder joint. The embedded self-regulating heater delivers the right amount of power based on the requirements of the solder joint. This provides a fast, safe, and repeatable process. 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 into the handpiece. 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.

The Metcal CV-IOT Gateway Module with a Metcal Connection Validation™ system enables you to capture real-time productivity data and track soldering events as they happen. Easy access to captured data for real-time process control and traceability of the soldering process.
