Metcal Flexible Arm ESD Safe for use with BVX 101

Metcal Solder Fume Extractor Accessory, 50mm Width, 1.5m Length - BVX-ARML

This solder fume extractor accessory is a flexible ARM designed to be used with a BVX 101 fume extraction unit, providing extended reach and manoeuvrability for localised soldering extraction in industrial environments. It is intended to position extraction close to the source of fumes while maintaining safe handling characteristics for electrostatic-sensitive workspaces.

Features and Benefits:

• UL certified for recognised safety compliance
  CSA certified for North American electrical standards
  CE marked for conformity with relevant EU directives
  ESD safe for protection of sensitive electronic components
  Flexible ARM construction for precise positioning
  Long reach improves access in confined assemblies

Applications

• Used with extraction units in Electronic Assembly benches
  Suitable for maintenance work with restricted access points
  Ideal for smoke capture during manual soldering operations
  Can be used for fume control in production lines
  Used for local extraction at inspection and rework stations

What approvals does it carry for regulatory compliance?

It carries UL, CSA and CE approvals indicating recognised conformity with those certification bodies.

Is the ARM safe for use near sensitive circuits?

Yes, it is ESD safe to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge near electronic assemblies.

How does the ARM improve operator reach?

The design provides a 1.5 m reach to position the extraction inlet closer to soldering points.

What inlet width does the ARM present for suction capture?

The ARM presents a 50 mm width profile to focus extraction at the source.
