Summary of METCAL TO LAUNCH NEW GT ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE SOLDERING SYSTEMS
Metcal announced GT90 and GT120 soldering systems using inductive heating with adjustable temperature, offering faster heat-up, better thermal recovery, and superior stability versus resistive systems. The GT90 is a 90-watt single-port station compatible with Ultrafine and Standard tips for cost-effective line use. The GT120 is a 120-watt single-port station compatible with Ultrafine, Standard, and High Thermal Demand tips, delivering performance rivaling much larger systems for demanding production and R&D work.
Parts used in the GT Soldering Systems:
- GT90 soldering station (single port, 90-watt power supply)
- GT120 soldering station (single port, 120-watt power supply)
- Inductive heating modules
- Ultrafine tips
- Standard tips
- High Thermal Demand tips
Metcal announced plans to launch its new GT90 and GT120 Soldering Systems. The GT90 and GT120 offer market-leading performance due to their use of inductive heating technology and are Metcal’s first platforms with adjustable temperature offered to the market.
The GT family of soldering systems are the only products in the market to offer the combination of inductive heating technology with adjustable temperature. This gives the GT systems a significant performance advantage with much faster time to temperature, thermal recovery and temperature stability during soldering over resistive heating systems offered by competitors in the same product category.
The GT90 is a single port soldering station, utilizing a 90-watt power supply and best-in-class performance vs. competitive 75-120-watt systems. It is compatible with Ultrafine and Standard tips and is ideal as a cost-effective solution for single iron applications on the production line.
The GT120 is a single port soldering station utilizing a 120-watt power supply and offers performance greater than competitive 150-200-watt systems and equivalent performance to much more expensive 250-watt systems. The GT120 is compatible with Ultrafine, Standard and High Thermal Demand tips and can be used for any type of single iron soldering application.
“With performance greater than anything offered in the market today, and the capability of handling the tiniest of components to the most demanding thermal load applications, the GT120 is the highest performing and most versatile soldering station available in the market today. It is ideal for production soldering, R&D labs, applications with extremely high thermal loads and soldering under a microscope.” said Joshua Edberg, Director of Marketing for Metcal.
