Thermal profiler quickly captures profile data
Stephen Law
Production / Materials equipment production profiler thermalSOLDERSTAR SLX range of intelligent, zero set-up thermal profiler quickly, efficiently captures profile data, utilizing additional signals from the selective machine, combined with the multiple memory capability of the dataloggers. This allows all selective stages to be captured with a single pass. As each selective stage is completed, a signal is sent to the unit, which automates the storage of data and prepares automatically for capture of the next stage. The datalogger has the capability to electronically record all parameters, including, temperature profile, nozzle fountain height, X/Y speed, contact time and electronic flux positioning at four points. This feature can be retro-fitted to existing fixtures which utilize a SLX datalogger unit, or integrated with most mini-wave selective soldering machines.
