Currently, the industry relies on a visual inspection of the solder joint. Metcal’s Connection Validation (CV) evaluates the quality of the solder joint by calculating the intermetallic compound formation and provides closed loop feedback. Following the success of the CV-5210, Metcal introduced the CV-510, packing all of the Metcal Connection Validation technology into a compact, economical housing.

The CV Series is available with a range of handpieces and work stands, covering a broad variety of hand soldering applications. A full range of Soldering Tips and Upgrade Kits are also available.
