KIC 2000 User Manual 1
Congratulations!
You have the world’s most sophisticated thermal profilers at your service!
KIC’s Thermal Profilers
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer are real-time solder reflow process setup and optimization tools.
They feature a more robust hardware configuration than any other profilers on the market. The KIC
Profilers configuration guarantees a perfect profile every time by both transmitting data in real-time as it
passes through the process and simultaneously recording the data internally. When the KIC Profiler has
completed its run through the process, the internally logged profile is automatically wirelessly downloaded,
filling in any gaps that may have occurred due to broken transmission of the real-time profile. The wireless
download feature ensures that every profile run is a good one, and that it will never be necessary to hold up
production to run a second profile.
The KIC 2000 software features minimal initial setup and a radically simplified operator interface
that eliminates tedious board mapping and oven measuring. The software is designed to be completely
intuitive and require very little training. It comes with an updateable database of hundreds of popular
solder pastes, which allows you to automatically select the specs for the paste you’re using. A series of
screens with clear explanatory graphics guides you through the profiling process from beginning to end,
and if the profiling is being done with one of the selected ovens that communicate with the KIC software,
the software automatically changes the oven set points to your profile.
The KIC Navigator Software Option
The KIC Navigator is significantly improved automated prediction tool which allows you to predict how
changes to belt speed and oven set points will affect a product profile. The KIC Navigator can create and
evaluate billions of potential product profiles
, automatically selecting the profile and oven setup that
best fits the Process Window. This automated prediction tool is exponentially more powerful and accurate
than any tool currently on the market and allows you to find the optimal profile in about a minute. The
automated prediction tool is designed to center the profile in your process window, and you may set the
limits to fit your process.
Perhaps the most significant feature of the KIC 2000 and the KIC Navigator is that it ranks your profiles
using the Process Window Index. This allows you to compare performance between processes and, more
importantly, to be assured that you have found the most robust and reliable profile for a given product that
your oven can achieve.
If you didn’t order the KIC Navigator with your KIC Profiler, be sure to ask your KIC Representative for
a demonstration of this breakthrough technology.
Auto-Focus Software Option
The KIC Auto-Focus is a computer simulation software option available for the KIC 2000 software. This
option eliminates the need to “guess” at an initial oven recipe; instead Auto-Focus calculates the ideal oven
recipe allowing you to avoid conventional oven setup pitfalls. Auto-Focus gets smarter with every profile
you run, providing you with increasingly accurate oven recipes.
Navigator and Auto-Focus Power Software Options
The Power option optimizes you profiles based on reduced energy usage. Studies have shown that many
reflow ovens and wave machines consume more energy than required in order to process the products in
spec. The KIC Navigator and Auto-Focus” Power” options identify the oven or wave solder recipes that
consume the least amount of energy while processing the products in spec. The end result is improved
quality at reduced energy costs.
It’s recommended to read this manual entirely before attempting to run profiles of any Application type.
