Profile Seeker is an inexpensive software utility that allows the SMT engineer to simulate reflow oven heater and belt-speed changes and view the resultant effect to the reflow profile.
High-speed USB connectivity cuts data download times and provides power to recharge the internal high-temperature battery.
As part of a pass-through reflow profiling system, the datalogger attaches by way Solderstar's Smartlink system to a range of adapters which provide between six and 16 measurement channels in a variety of configurations.
The Smartlink system future-proofs the system by allowing the channel count to be upgraded in line with the growing complexity of current and future assemblies.
Protected by an upgraded heatshield system, the system suits lead-free operation whilst maintaining the smallest footprint for carrier-free operation in restricted tunnel height machines and on narrow PCB applications.
When fitted to the SolderStar WaveShuttle, the SolderStar Pro datalogger becomes a high-end wave solder analyser capable of accurate, repeatable analysis of the wave solder process.
The WaveShuttle fixture is purpose-made for wave solder analysis to which the SolderStar PRO datalogger is attached, again by way of the Smartlink.
For this application, the datalogger monitors top and bottom preheat temperatures, solder pot temperatures and chip and main wave contact over multiple points through the wave.
Along with dedicated wave solder PC software, the system offers users industry-leading automatic graphical process analysis and process SPC capabilities in an easy to use package.
