KIC releases 24-channel dual temperature measurement technology options for thermometers.

KIC's new dual temperature measurement technology option, which works with PS2G software and SPS smart thermometer, enables simultaneous use of up to 24 thermocouples. The option includes two 12-channel SPS thermometers and a newly designed heat shield. When in use, the two SPS are "paired" together in a 24-channel heat shield to operate as a single 24-channel thermometer. This value-added option provides the flexibility and adaptability required for customers who need to provide more sampling locations on certain products, but still need to use the thermometer on a smaller board with fewer sampling locations. When measuring larger products, such as server motherboards, more test sampling points are often required. The new dual temperature technology option provides this capability and greater flexibility to operate with other thermocouple location configurations, making it the best of both worlds. Dual temperature measurement technology options (24 channels) and related hardware are available in a variety of different kits and options for great flexibility. You can choose the kit available when ordering a new SPS smart thermometer, or add options to use with your existing 12-channel SPS smart thermometer.

Actionable Data with Smart Software

The SPS Smart Profiler works with KIC’s award winning Profiling Software 2G, Navigator Power and Auto-Focus Power optimization software and is integrated as a programming tool for KIC’s industry leading automatic profiling systems. All your critical profile and process data are measured including slope, peak temperature, time above liquidous, and more. In addition the software measures the Process Window Index™ (PWI) automatically and objectively identifying the profile’s ‘fit’ to the established process window. The PWI is lower as your process is centered within the process window. Therefore, the lower your PWI, the more stable and precise your process.

The Navigator Power™software feature automates process improvement and optimization for you and ships standard with the SPS Smart Thermal Profiler™. Within seconds, the Navigator will identify the single best oven set up.

The SPS Smart Profiler raises the bar for Smart Factory systems, and is another of the many smart devices and systems KIC offers to improve your production quality, productivity, and documentation.
