SMT Reflow Oven Equipment Thermal Profile KIC K2 Smart Profiling Profiler
Conveniently view and share reflow oven thermal profiles on mobile devices
New Generation Mid-Range Profile Setter
New generation profile setter replaces the last of KIC’s older technology profilers
Competitively priced for the mid-range market
Compact and Robust Hardware
The K² will fit through the tight heated chambers often found in lead-free production
7 TC unit dimensions:
206 x 60 x 17 (mm)
Shield: 302 x 75 x 23 (mm)
9 TC unit dimensions
206 x 75 x 17 (mm)
Shield: 312 x 90 x 23 (mm)
Durable hardware designed to withstand rough production environments
Fail-Safe Operation
Automatic start when temperatures are below a specified ‘start’ trigger, protecting the K² and assuring consistent starting points and repeatable profiles
Hardware designed for accurate measurements
Engineer sets quality and productivity related parameters:
PWI level
Minimum/maximum allowable conveyor speed
Maximum peak temperature,etc.
For use by reflow oven operators, technicians and engineers who need a reflow oven thermal profile
Reflow Oven Setup Software
KIC’s optimization software does a complete search for all possible combinations of oven zone temperatures and conveyor speeds. It selects the very best oven setup for each new product within seconds
User selectable setup criteria focuses on positioning the profile towards:
the center of the process window
maximum conveyor speed
minimum oven electricity usage
Instant and Objective Profile Analysis
KIC’s famous Process Window Index (PWI) explains how the profile fits the established process window, with a single number:
PWI above 100 = profile out of spec
PWI at 100 = profile right on the spec limit
PWI below 100 = profile in spec
PWI at 0 = the exact center of the process window
Immediate profile analysis
Objective and personnel-independent profile analysis
Outlying profile data made visible
Accessing the K² Profile Data on the PC or Mobile Device
The profile data can be displayed in two ways:
On the oven PC or profiling PC
On an Authorized Android mobile device
Convenient sharing function for selected profile data

KIC’s Mobile Profile Viewer is WiFi
and Bluetooth compatible.
Note: The KIC software may interface directly with some oven controllers, eliminating the need for manual setpoint data entry. Please consult your oven supplier for availability. The KIC software is dongle protected.
The PWI measures the profile’s fit to the process window in a mathematical and objective manner by using a single number. This aids in optimizing the process by comparing and ranking alternative profiles in terms of their fit to the available process window. The lower the PWI, the more efficient and stable the process! (See the PWI data sheet for a detailed explanation)
