Oxidation on the tip degrades performance by creating a barrier that decreases the thermal transfer of the heat to the solder joint. This barrier slows performance and if not corrected will damage the tip. Proper tip care is essential to maximize the life of the tip.
Metcal's new Solder Tip Cleaner removes oxidation and extends the life of the solder tip. By placing the tip into the opening, the tip cleaner senses the tip and automatically activates saving the operator time. A replaceable brush system pulls excess solder away from the tip into a removable collection tray for disposal while removing oxidation from the tip. A splashguard prevents debris from escaping the collection area. The unit ships with a universal AC power adapter that ensures the unit is ready for use.
