KIC Offers Improved SlimKIC-II Thermal Profiler for Real-Time Process Control

(San Diego, CA -- October 5, 1998) : KIC Thermal Profiling introduces the new SlimKIC(tm)-II Thermal Profiler, the latest version of the company‘s SlimKIC thermal profiler. The SlimKIC-II offers more efficient data transmission and a higher temperature tolerance. These features increase the operating window for profiling solder reflow, wave solder machines and curing ovens.

The SlimKIC-II pass-through thermal profiler, with up to 12 Type K thermocouples, is available in three models. All models are now rated at 105C for internal operating temperatures, and may go as high as 120C without damaging the unit.

The DataLogger model records up to 60,000 data points, allowing lengthy profiles to include numerous data points. At up to 60 readings per second, it provides the highest data resolution available.

The Transmitter model is the only pass-through thermal profiler that sends part temperature data to a remote receiver via wireless RF transmission. The data is displayed on a PC at up to 20 samples per second, enabling users to view profiles in real time, cutting profiling time in half. Now running at a higher baud rate, the new SlimKIC-II provides faster and more efficient data transmission.

The Dual SlimKIC-II model combines the functions of both the high-capacity data storage model and the real-time transmitting model in a single unit. All three versions are powered by a single 9-volt alkaline battery and are user-calibrated for greater convenience.

For thermal profiling, SlimKIC-II works in conjunction with KIC software to provide profile prediction, multiple peak temperatures, slopes and dwell times. Both SlimKIC and the process controller may be run on the same PC.
