Data Acquisition Hardware:
The KIC Explorer is a new generation of thermal profilers featuring
an impressively compact design. It will easily move through the
restrictive process dimensions encountered in today’s thermal
applications. The KIC Explorer incorporates state-of-the-art SMT
technology and high-temperature rated components, backed by our
distinguished reputation for reliability. You can depend on this
rugged, innovative hardware to endure the harsh conditions of
real-world factory use.The KIC Explorer is available in 7 and 9
channel versions using standard type K thermocouple connectors
Acquiring more data in a small unit is only the beginning. The KIC
Explorer’s industry leading performance provides users better data
acquisition performance to identify exactly what is going on with
each thermal profile and process in the factory. Thermal profile
data are conveniently transferred to your computer via a USB
connection. The KIC Explorer RF version transfers the profile data
in real time to the PC via wireless radio frequency transmitters.
Standard AAA batteries power the KIC Explorer and you have the
option of using rechargeable batteries if you prefer. The KIC
Explorer offers you unmatched performance, flexibility and
miniaturization in this new generation of thermal profilers.
Data Intelligence Software:
The KIC Explorer software uses a modern, graphical interface that
intuitively guides you through the task of profiling. All your
critical profile and process data are measured, including slope,
peak temperature, time above liquidous, etc. In addition, the
software measures the Process Window Index™ (PWI) statistic. The
PWI mathematically and objectively identifies your profile’s “fit”
to the available process window. A PWI less than 100 indicates an
in-spec profile. The PWI is lower as your process is centered
within the process window. Therefore, the lower your PWI, the more
stable and efficient your process.
The PWI also instantly reveals where your process or the oven needs
to be adjusted. Manual prediction capability comes standard with
the KIC Explorer that allows you to manually adjust and improve
upon your process or oven set up. The optional KIC Auto-Focus™
automates process improvement and optimization for you. Within
seconds, the KIC Auto-Focus will identify the single best oven set
up.The KIC Explorer hardware and software establish a new
generation of profiler to improve your production quality,
productivity, and documentation.
Th Eproces Window Index ™
Profiling Reduced to a Single Number
The PWI measures the profile’s fit to the process window in a
mathematical and objective manner by using a single number. This
aids in optimizing the process by comparing and ranking alternative
profiles in terms of their fit to the available process window. The
lower the PWI, the more efficient and stable the process! (See the
PWI data sheet for a detailed explanation)
