KIC Press Release October 13, 2008 - KIC to Launch KIC Explorer Thermal Profiler In Romania at Cemconex Technical Conference

(San Diego, CA -- October 13, 2008) : KIC, the leader of thermal process development and control products and winner of multiple industry awards, announce they will showcase KIC Explorer, the new generation of thermal profiler at the Cemconex Technical Conference and Exhibition, 16th and 17th October 2008.

To be held at the Expovest, Hotel Club Senator in Timisoara – Romania, the event offers manufacturers in one of Europe‘s fastest-growing emerging markets an unprecedented opportunity to see KIC‘s new generation thermal profiler. Featuring an impressively compact design, KIC Explorer moves with ease through the restrictive process dimensions encountered in today‘s thermal applications.

RoHS compliant, KIC Explorer is available in 7, 9 and 12 TC channels and includes KIC‘s award-winning and easy-to-use graphics software. The powerful software options offer a solution for creating an accurate profile for both standard and lead-free processes, including even the most challenging boards where separate process windows must be established for individual components, solder paste and PCBs.

Supported by KIC‘s distinguished reputation for reliability, KIC Explorer incorporates state-of-the-art SMT technology and high-temperature rated components. This new product offers the dependability imperative to today‘s manufacturers, in an innovative and rugged package designed to endure the harsh conditions of real-world factory use. It provides all the thermal profile data required, with the highest sampling rate available, as well as greater memory capacity and superior data precision. The thermal profile data is then conveniently transferred to your computer via a simple USB connection.

In a competitive global marketplace manufacturers rely on highly effective, automated solutions to assist them in their quest for quality, without compromising on the speed or accuracy of their production process. As market leader in the supply of thermal profile solutions, KIC‘s hardware and software is there to support quality management, providing full traceability documentation which will in turn improve productivity, as well as provide unmatched performance, flexibility and miniaturization.
