Products from KIC
SPS Smart Profiler
A smart device built with the Latest Data Processing and Wireless Technologies available. SPS can help you to reduce your production cost, improve quality and share data conveniently. The hardware is the best in temperature tolerance design using an LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) enclosure for better protection and faster cool down between profiles. You can connect 7, 9 or 12 Thermocouples.

KIC MVP
Program the KIC MVP™ fixture by running a single profile on your PCB. Subsequent profile runs only require the use of the MVP fixture without the production board. The single programming run eliminates the need to sacrifice your PCB.

KIC ProBot
The ProBot compliments the reflow oven by automatically recording the profile for each and every processed PCB. On the fly, the profile is compared to the established process window to determine whether it is in spec or not. This occurs in the background without human intervention and without interrupting production. The ProBot is programmed by running a manual profile using a KIC profiler.

Evaluating the accuracy of a non-destructive thermocouple Attach Method for Area-Array Package Profiling
The oven recipe, which consists of the reflow oven zone temperature settings and the speed of the conveyor, will determine a specific time‐temperature profile for a given PCB assembly. In order to achieve a good quality PCB assembly, the time‐temperature profile should be within the product and process specifications.
