Exceptional Value
The KICstart²™ incorporates the core technology of KIC, the world leader in thermal process profiling, and is backed by KIC's worldwide technical support. Its low cost combined with innovative process technology makes the KICstart2 an ideal, cost-effective profiler.
Simple to Use
The KICstart² is simple and uncomplicated to set up, yet enables you to obtain accurate temperature profiles quickly. If your application only requires immediate, real-time knowledge of a product's temperature profile, the KICstart2 is the right choice. Its patented design allows the temperature profile of every component location fitted with a thermocouple to be displayed simultaneously.
Instant Process Analysis
Once the profile has been measured, the KICstart2 analyzes the process using the Process Window Index (PWI). PWI is a single number that characterizes whether a product's actual process falls within its specified process window (refer to the PWI technical documentation for details). PWI provides you with immediate, intuitive and objective data to determine whether the manufactured product meets process specifications, eliminating unsubstantiated guesswork.
Reliable and Durable
The KICstart² delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability that rivals other award-winning KIC products. It is a 6-channel profiler built on solid-state technology, designed to withstand the cyclic thermal processes of lead-free or leaded electronic assembly for years on end.
