KIC to Exhibit at SMTA Silicon Valley Expo
November 2, 2017 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC will exhibit at the SMTA Silicon Valley Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place November 29, 2017 at Bestronics Inc. in San Jose, California. MB (Marybeth) Allen will showcase how to turn your reflow ovens into a smart ovens with KIC's ecosystem comprised of a smart profiler, automatic profiling system and the all-new KIC Vantage network insight software.
The core function of a reflow oven is to produce an acceptable profile on each PCB. The new KIC SPS smart profiler collects the profile data and compares it to the process specifications. Within seconds, the new smart profiler also suggests an improved reflow oven setup. The thermal profiler features a small compact design made with an LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) enclosure for better heat protection and faster cool-down between profiles.
The KIC Vantage network intelligence system automatically acquires and delivers insightful information from all the ovens in the factory in real-time to allow factories to produce consistent quality at lower costs. The software is retrofitable and can connect to the factory MES system.
