This system uses
the Metcal SmartHeat technology. Which utilizes Skin Effect of a 13Mhz RF signal
from a constant current power supply. This means the heat is generated on the
surface of the tip delivering tremendous power when need at amazing accuracy.
This design also means there is no internal thermo couple of heating element to
fail as in other brands. Since this design uses skin effect in the tip cartridge
to Generate the heat the physics of the system achieve a +/- 1.1 degree
temperature stability and there is no calibration required. Tip cartridges swap
easily without the use of tools.
One of the members of my RAYNET group was using one of these on Saturday it is the Rolls Royce of soldering irons! There are a few for sale one ebay but to by new you are looking at £500 - £600.
