KICstart Thermal Profiler
The KICstart is a 6 channel datalogging thermal profiler. It features a more robust hardware configuration than any other profiler on the market and an all new easy to use software platform. When profiler has completed its run through the process, the internally logged profile is ready to be downloaded to a computer.
The KICstart 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 requires very little training. A series of screens with clear explanatory graphics guides you through the profiling process from beginning to end.
The KICstart uses different technology to complete its task of running profiles. The main difference between it and other profilers is the following:
♦ Air thermocouple – For all profiles run with the KICstart software the thermocouple plugged into the first channel on the KICstart must be the Air TC. This TC is positioned 1 inch in front of the leading edge of the board for all profiles run using KICstart software.
♦ Trigger temperatures – The KICstart uses trigger temperatures to start and stop the profile. The Start temperature is defaulted to 2 degrees above the Maximum Product Start temperature. See Global Preferences for this value.
♦ Hardware Monitor - The combination of the KICstart and the KICstart software closely monitors the KICstart battery, internal temperature and the product temperature even before you start a profile. There are built-in checks in the software to insure that the product and KICstart are cool enough and battery voltage sufficient to complete a profile safely. As well it will offer troubleshooting suggestions if there is a problem with communication or thermocouple attachment.
♦ Perfect Data – Through patent pending technology the KICstart is able to get you perfect data every time. At the completion of a profile the KICstart retransmits the data it has stored in its memory, once the communication cable is connected.

Process Window Index
The PWI is a single statistical number that measures how well your profile fits within your product`s thermal process window. The PWI provides an instant and objective conclusion whether your product profile is in spec, eliminating guesswork and opinion from process analysis. This helps you ensure that all your products on all your lines are manufactured with measurable, consistent quality
