How is the Metcal welding station and how is it maintained

How is the Metcal welding station and how is it maintained? The Metcal welding station adopts SmartHeat technology, which can accurately sense the thermal energy demand of each welding point and deliver a precise amount of thermal energy to it for reliable welding work. The result is a high degree of control achieved without the need for the higher idle temperature of the soldering iron tip required by conventional heater technology. Thus, the risk of damaging components and welding plates is minimized. This is particularly important for the higher thermal energy requirements required for lead-free applications.
  
Metcal welding table maintenance four steps:
1. Maintenance of Metcal welding table before use
Before using the Metcal welding table, it is necessary to check whether the cleaning sponge has been soaked with water. The cleaning sponge should be moistened first and then picked up to ensure that the sponge water does not drip. This can provide better cleaning and protection for the soldering iron tip. If a dry cleaning sponge or a sponge that is too wet is used, it can damage the solder nozzle and make it difficult to solder.
2. Maintenance of Metcal welding table during welding
When using a Metcal welding table, clean the impurities on the soldering head with a cleaning sponge before welding. This can ensure the quality of the solder joints during welding and prevent virtual or false soldering, which can slow down the oxidation rate of the soldering iron head. So ensuring good cleanliness of the soldering iron tip can extend its service life.
3. Maintenance of Metcal welding table after use
After using the Metcal welding table, first adjust the temperature of the welding table to the appropriate temperature, and then add a layer of new solder on the soldering iron tip for protection. This can isolate the soldering iron tip from the air and reduce the risk of oxidation caused by contact with oxygen.
4. Maintenance of Metcal welding table when not in use
When the Metcal welding table is not in use, the power supply of the welding table should be turned off to avoid the soldering iron tip being in a high temperature state for a long time, which may cause some of the flux on the soldering iron tip to convert into oxidized impurities, resulting in a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the soldering iron tip. (For lead-free soldering stations without temperature control and automatic sleep function).
