This station employs replaceable heater tips rather than cartridges, making cost of ownership extremely competitive. The unique two-piece design separates the heater coil from the tip. The long-life heater coil remains in the handle, while tips are easily removed and replaced. Most importantly, the cost of the heater tips is comparable to that of conventional tips. The MFR-PST system is ESD-safe and meets Mil-Specs. It operates on 100/120VAC and includes a two-port 65W power supply, 50W soldering handpiece (without heater tip), workstand with sponge, and cartridge removal pad.

MFR Series systems feature patented SmartHeat® conduction technology that uniquely senses the exact thermal requirement for each solder joint and responds by delivering the precise amount of thermal energy at the rate required to create a reliable connection. The result is a high degree of control without resorting to higher tip idle temperatures required by conventional ceramic heater technologies. Consequently, the risk of component or circuit board damage is minimized, especially important with the greater thermal demands required by lead-free applications. Lightweight handpieces with an optimum tip-to-grip distance add comfort and control, especially for fine pitch applications. An impressive range of heater tip and tip cartridge geometries ensures easy access and precision performance. "Auto Standby" and "Auto Off" functions can be programmed to activate on different timing to maximize tip life, especially when working on a lead-free process. A built-in motion detector then brings the unit back to life when the handpiece is lifted from the cradle.
