KIC Press Release August 27, 2007 - KIC Launches the Power Series at Nepcon South China—Thermal Process Optimization for Lower Energy Use

(San Diego, CA -- August 27, 2007) : KIC, the leader of thermal process development and control products, and winner of multiple industry awards, introduces the Auto-Focus Power and Navigator Power options for reflow ovens and wave solder machines at the Nepcon South China show in booth #2C55, scheduled to take place on August 28-31, 2007.

These next-generation thermal process optimization systems "google" available oven recipes and automatically select the most optimum process for individual applications. The standard Navigator and Auto-Focus automatically select the recipe that positions the process in the center of the process window, or alternatively the fastest throughput. The new advanced Navigator Power and Auto-Focus Power software products add a third optimization criterion, namely by selecting the recipe that yields lower energy consumption.

Third-party research has verified the ability of both the Navigator Power and Auto-Focus Power to reduce energy consumption. This key feature results in significant cost savings in today‘s environment of increasing energy prices.
