Description
KIC ProBot Automatic Profiling for your SMT Reflow Oven
A Profile for every PCB, Automatically
How many times have you been asked for the last time we checked the oven recipe profile?
ProBot creates and records a profile for every board produced – Automatically, so you’ll always have the latest profile without doing anything!
The KIC ProBot Automated Profiling System eliminates verification profiling by automatically recording a profile for every reflowed board produced.
KIC ProBot monitors your reflow oven process to allow only ‘in-spec’ production and automatically evidences this for your audit processes.
Eliminate Reflow Oven Recipe Changeoverย Mistakes
If you’ve ever run a batch of boards (PCBs) through your reflow oven on the wrong oven recipe, you’re not alone.
ProBot can eliminate this risk by confirming that the actual oven settings are within the limits for the current product, before a single board has entered the oven.
If you use manufacturing barcodes on your boards ProBot can be upgraded to provide automatic recipe matching, checking each PCB’s barcode as it arrives at the oven (against an “allowed list”) and stopping the in-feed conveyor if it doesn’t match, then provide an audible/light tower alarm for the user to change the oven recipe.
Fully upgradeable to KIC RPI (Reflow Process Inspection) ProBot allows the user to configure the system for immediate needs and add advanced features when future requirements are needed.
Batch, Lot & Serial Number Traceability
ProBot automatically provides the user with “batch” traceability of every build, by date and product.
Additionally Lot traceability can be added to provide more searchable production data.
And with barcoded PCBs (Serialised PCB barcode labels or direct PCB laser marking) it offers FULL traceability, automatically tagging the profile with the board serial number for future reference.
When you want to recall the profile of any given board simply scan the barcode or type the serial number in and the profile will be displayed.
Basics of Automated Profiling
Provides an always LIVE critical reflow process checker – never run products out of spec. again.
Provides valuable reflow oven process data in a way that SPI does for solder paste & AOI does for component placement.
Eliminates common user errors
Eliminates ‘Manual’ profiling checks and periodic process verification.
Makes Customer Audits easier
