SLX Thermal Profiler
The SLX brings together advanced engineering, intelligent automation and rugged reliability to deliver a new standard in thermal profiling performance. Designed for modern production environments where speed, accuracy and simplicity matter, it combines next‑generation hardware with effortless usability to keep your processes running smoothly and your data consistently precise.
Precision Reflow profiling designed to deliver repeatable, reliable results
The SLX is built to deliver fast, reliable and effortless profiling in even the most demanding soldering environments. Every detail of its design is engineered to simplify setup, accelerate data capture and ensure uncompromising measurement accuracy. Explore the key features that make the SLX a powerful foundation for any modern thermal profiling workflow.
The SLX is engineered to be exceptionally small and lightweight, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any soldering process without clearance issues. Its slim 126 × 52 × 9.5 mm form factor ensures minimal intrusion while still delivering full‑scale profiling performance.
Designed for effortless use, the SLX automatically configures itself the moment it docks onto any SMARTLink heatshield or accessory. No manual setup, no configuration steps — just instant, error‑free data capture every time.
The latest SLX platform delivers dramatically faster data handling with 10× faster USB download speeds and an optional 2.4 GHz wireless telemetry system. Real‑time data transfer, rapid offload and robust Zigbee PRO communication ensure smooth profiling workflows.
Built for demanding thermal environments, the SLX uses a high‑temperature NiMH battery that is both long‑lasting and user‑replaceable. A quick swap takes seconds, providing up to 15 hours of profiling from a two‑hour USB charge — or a rapid 10‑minute top‑up for immediate use.
With 12 independent memory banks, each capable of storing 25,000 data points per channel, the SLX supports multiple profiling runs without needing to offload data. Ideal for production environments where speed and flexibility matter.
The SLX continuously monitors thermocouple connections and temperature status, alerting the user to any issues before a run begins. This built‑in intelligence prevents wasted profiles and ensures every capture is accurate and complete.
Engineered for professional‑grade measurement, the SLX maintains ±0.5°C accuracy across an extended range of –200 to 1372°C. Combined with its fast sampling rates and robust internal protection, it delivers reliable, repeatable thermal data for even the most demanding processes.
Profile optimisation
For profile optimisation, the AutoSeeker Profile Optimiser can be added to the systems to provide rapid profile setup. Once a profile has been captured from the process, the AUTOSeeker will search through millions of combinations of oven set points, to provide suggested settings for both temperature and speed.
The systems can optionally provide live profiling data direct to the engineer computer via our class leading 2.4 GHz wireless telemetry system, the bespoke system used in SolderStar products provide a full two way link, resulting in no data loss during the streaming of live data.
These profiling systems provide the engineer with all the necessary software tools for rapid profile setup and analysis, along with data management, profile simulations and integrated SPC charting tools.
