Metcal, part of OK International and Dover (NYSE: DOV), and a leader in benchtop soldering systems, has announced patent pending software upgrades for its newly launched GT90 and GT120 Soldering Systems.
The GT series soldering systems are the only products in the market that offer the combination of inductive heating technology with adjustable temperature control. This gives GT series systems a significant performance advantage over resistive heating systems, with faster time to temperature, thermal recovery and temperature stability during soldering.
Expanding on the market-leading performance of its variable temperature controlled inductive heating systems, Metcal will be releasing software updates that allow users to set temperature profiles for various components or solder joints.
With this patent pending software, technicians soldering temperature-sensitive components can set thermal profiles for various component types using the GT family of soldering systems.

“This upgrade allows customers to set profiles with preheat ramp rates, creating a more robust soldering solution that prevents damage from thermal shock caused by rapid heating. We offer one of the most versatile solutions in the market today, with handling capabilities that span from the most sensitive components to the most demanding thermal load applications, all within one system and all enhanced with thermal profiling,” said Hoa Nguyen, Chief Technology Officer of OK International.
Metcal GT90 and GT120 systems offer improved performance over competitive resistive soldering systems and are ideal for production soldering, R&D labs and applications with extremely high thermal loads.
The patent pending software updates will begin in June 2021 and will be available to customers with existing units. Software updates can be downloaded directly from the Metcal website.
