METCAL MX-5000 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework System is a high-power, high-precision, high-performance hand soldering and rework system that can be used in a variety of applications. The system uses advanced technology, including higher output power, higher heat, higher control, and more flexibility, to meet the needs of customers in hand soldering and rework.
The Metcal MX-5000 is a high‑power soldering, desoldering and rework system designed for lead‑free, high‑mass and fine‑pitch applications. It offers increased output power, SmartHeat® process control and ergonomic hand‑pieces to improve productivity and operator comfort.
The guide describes the four available hand‑pieces (Advanced™, UltraFine™, Precision Tweezers, Desoldering), the TipSaver™ workstand with auto‑sleep power reduction, the MX‑PS5000 power supply specifications, and the extensive cartridge families (STTC, SMTC, UFTC, PTTC, STDC). Technical specifications such as input voltage, power consumption and environmental limits are listed in the final section.
| Ambient Operating Temperature | 10 - 40°C |
|---|---|
| Input Line Voltage | 100 - 240 VAC, grounded circuit |
| Power Consumption | 125 W |
| Maximum Output Power | 80 W per channel at 22°C ambient |
| Certification | cTUVus, CE |
| Hand‑piece Cable Length | 122 cm (48") burn‑proof, ESD safe |
| Power‑supply Weight | 7.4 lb (3.35 kg) |
The MX‑5000 can deliver up to 80 W per channel when the ambient temperature is 22 °C.
Four hand‑pieces are offered: the Metcal Advanced™ hand‑piece, the Metcal UltraFine™ hand‑piece, the Precision Tweezers hand‑piece, and the Metcal Desoldering hand‑piece (MX‑DS1).
The TipSaver™ workstand automatically reduces power to the hand‑piece when it is placed in the stand, which lowers tip oxidation and extends tip life.
The power supply accepts 100 V to 240 V AC input.
