Workstand: Tip Life, More User Options, Increased Ergonomics

The new The new Metcal TipSaver™ Workstands improves tip life as well as operator ergonomics. This Auto-Sleep Workstand reduces the power to the hand-piece when it is placed in the Metcal TipSaver™ Workstand. Reduction in power will substantially decrease tip oxidation, a major cause of reduced tip life.

The TipSaver Workstand gives users a choice for configuring it with soft, coiled brass tip cleaner or with both the brass cleaner and the traditional sponge holder. Many users prefer the brass-only option, as this reduces the potential to introduce contaminants to the tip, which can occur with poorly maintained sponges.

This new workstand has an adjustable angle cradle that allows operators to select and lock the angle for tool placement in the holder to meet their preference. This can positively impact ergonomics and productivity.
