An incorrect temperature profile in a reflow or wave soldering process is proven to cause failures in both electronic components and printed circuit board assemblies.

The most effective way to assess the thermal shock to components and the PCB is to measure the actual on-board temperatures as it travels through the soldering machine.

PROfiler is a six channel high accuracy RF temperature profiling system which allows temperature profiles to be gathered and viewed in real time.

 

The standard PROfiler data logger unit is fitted with six Type-K thermocouple channels, offering unprecedented measurement accuracy. Using high performance data acquisition circuitry and digital filtering techniques, accurate profiles can be gathered with high levels of 50-60Hz mains noise rejection.

At least 10000 data points per channel can be held within the logger's memory, whilst the RF real time telemetry system offers the benefits of seeing the profile as it happens. A two way RF protocol is used between the data logger and PC, resulting in zero data loss during transmission, therefore all the data you see is real data.

The data logger unit is fitted with Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries and uses intelligent battery management to optimise use between recharges.

 

 

The PROfiler analysis software will run on any PC with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT installed, utilising one standard serial communications port. Using RF telemetry a full screen temperature/time graph can be displayed in real time allowing process engineers to make rapid process decisions and minimise production down time. Profiles can also be gathered and stored by the data logger for download at a later time to a PC.

Once a profile has been captured it can be analysed with easy to use software tools and saved to disk for future reference. A report sheet can also be printed detailing process parameters, logger details and the captured profile for total traceability of your soldering process.

 
   
 

To protect the PROfiler data logger unit from the harsh high temperature environment, a robust thermal barrier manufactured from stainless steel is used, which is suitable for most process requirements.

On edge feed ovens with reduced aperture height or when profiling PCB wider than the thermal barrier an optional carrier is used to transport the system through the process.

PROpredict is a software feature included with PROfiler - Temperature Profiling System.
The software allows accurate predictions to be made based upon profile information previously captured.

The software installs to become an integral part of the PROfiler user interface allowing the system to be used to greater effect offline. Predictions can be performed based on conveyor speed changes and/or individual or multiple oven zone setting changes,
