Smart Profiler - KIC X5

 

X5 Advantages

 

Robust and Compact Hardware with 2 Year Warranty

This new and improved hardware is designed to withstand the roughest and toughest daily handling. In addition, the electronic circuitry has been changed to tolerate a higher level of voltage spikes that occur occasionally in some ovens and wave solder machines. KIC is putting its money where its mouth is by offering a standard two year warranty on this durable profiler.

The X5™ is available in 7, 9, and 12 channel versions using standard type K thermocouple connectors.

Data Intelligence Software 

The X5’s software uses a modern, graphical interface that quickly and 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 established 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 deeper in the sweet spot of the process window.

The PWI also instantly reveals where your process or the oven needs to be adjusted. Manual prediction capability comes standard with the X5 allowing you to instantly view the expected change in the profile to changes in the oven setpoints. The X5 dual mode includes the passive profiling recording functionality and the active oven setup and process optimization capability. The Navigator Power™ software feature automates process improvement and optimization for you and ships standard with the X5. Within seconds, the Navigator Power will identify the single best oven setup based on your choice of 3 optimization criteria:

 

  • Center of the process window
  • Maximum conveyor speed
  • Minimum electricity use

 

The X5 also comes standard with SPC charting software that helps reveal changes in the profile over time. The X5 hardware and software establish a new generation of profiler to improve your production quality, productivity, and documentation.

 

Datalogger Model: data are downloaded to the computer through a USB cable after the run.

Dual Unit Model: data are sent to the computer in real-time during the run. Data are also stored internally for USB download after the run.
