Wave Solder Profiling
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profiles can be used to measure wave solder profiles. Profiling wave
solder machines using a KIC profiler is very similar to profiling a solder reflow oven. The KIC 2000
software will guide you through the profiling process.
KIC does not recommend installing this software on an oven controller PC if you plan on running wave
solder profiles. Contact KIC for instructions should the need arise. tech@kicmail.com

Wave Surfer Profiling Device
KIC offers a wave solder accessory for the SlimKIC
2000 called the Wave Surfer. See Figure 84.
The Wave Surfer has embedded thermocouples that
give wave specific data including conveyor speed
each time you run it through your wave solder
machine.
Using the KIC 2000 software Wave Surfer users can
collect profile and wave data and using the
Navigator option optimize their process.
The Wave Surfer simplifies wave soldering profiling. The device is used to routinely check the wave
machine. Using the Process Window Index, the machines performance is measured each time a pass is
made based on the user selected Process Window.
