Metcal to display site cleaning system at NEPCON

The Scarab ensures accurate and repeatable cleaning of the component pad in one user-friendly system. It redefines performance and addresses the technical demands presented by component manufacturers today. The Scarab addresses the industry needs with an automated system capable of cleaning components pads without contact.

Reworking small chip components such as 01005, 0201, 0402 and 0602s can be difficult and require specialised tools. Metcal has developed a technique and identified a selection of tools that enable the operator to rework these small components with repeatability and consistency. Metcal will display the solder ball placement kit to meet these challenging applications.

The success of conduction soldering depends upon the availability and controlled flow of thermal energy into the connection during two critical phases, flux activation and intermetallic bond formation. To meet these higher thermal demands, Metcal will display the latest dual cartridge hand-piece and work stand along with a series of five dual-shaft cartridge geometries.
